Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

FYI - the horses body is covered with a textured material, they aren't smooth plastic. It does wear off, so it's great for older kids, but not for ones who will put it in their mouth.

Eh... not really. I personally have to stop and take the thing off. I usually can't see the screen if I'm running in sunlight, and I have to wear it with the screen on the outside of my arm (as opposed to the side closer to my body) to prevent it rubbing in my elbow crease or against my chest. This means I can't see it without loosening it and turning it towards me. It's still probably the most durable and functional armband I've come across. I have reached the conclusion that there's just not a perfect one out there.

Pretty true. I ride reining horses competitively and find that it helps my form a lot. On a show day, I have worn it for up to 10 hours and been comfortable.

If you have tendonitis in your elbow, it takes the pain away. From what I have heard, it stabilizes the tendon on both sides of your elbow. I was in constant discomfort and I as soon as I put it on it I was able to workout again. I wore it for several months, and the pain went away. I don't have to use it very much anymore.

I've been wearing mine continuously for weeks and have only noticed a little discomfort when my knee is fully bent (e.g. sitting cross legged). Since my knee is a little loose now after I injured it, I wouldn't be able to run. Having said that, my only concern is that your knee will probably get really warm while wearing the brace and running.

I have the same issue with my gelding, it fits and feels better than a saddle with a tree would (unless you get one custom) and is very comfortable. I will say that I learned to ride bareback so treeless was an easy transition, if you rely on the tree or stirrups to stay on then the saddle may roll. You also can't use it to mount from the ground (more rolling). Hope this helped.

Glen, my initial thought was no because the pouches are sort of oval-shaped to fit the bottles that come with the belt. However, I just tried it and it worked. I was easily able to slide a standard 16 oz water bottle in and out of the pouch. My only question is would my elbows be hitting it if I tried to run with it that way. The 16 oz water bottle stuck out considerably higher than the 8 oz bottle that comes with the belt. I added two pictures to my review to show you the 16 oz water bottle in one holster as compared to the fitletic bottle in the other holster.

I love mine. There is one exercise the video shows that bugs my knee but it's easily adaptable. My mom got a gazelle after I did. She has bad knees. It doesn't bother her. Side note...I think it a important to add wd40 to the crossbar the handles are attached to as suggested by somebody.

Also, unless you really want to fold your 60 plus pound bike in half, scratching everything, huffing and puffing because you forgot to take the battry off... Etc. Get the Prodeco withOUT the hinged frame.... Ive since stopped playing that game. Ive rode over 2,000 miles on my Prodeco and after time, the bike will shake and vibrate unless you take the time to screw that hinge shut. It to me, is more of an inconvenience than an asset. Happy trails

Really need to sit down, I tried to stand and pedal so i could answer this question. The knees hit the handle bars and it would be just very uncomfortable.

Hi....absolutely...I use mine for marathon training and trail running...The bottles are very easy to access and replace after you drink. Good luck..

I have this problem too. Had to throw mine away. Loved it otherwise especially because I have arthritis.

I put my arm in a sling and if I held the bar infront of me instead of the side handles I had no problems. Just start out slow and a good pace walk was no problem.. I'm 65yrs.old. Good Luck hope you heal soon. :)

No. Mine doesn't really move either. But since I'm not real sure what it's suppose to do, I just leave it alone. The bottle still works great without it

Hi - apologies for the late response. We still have this problem. It's really not very comfortable.

I have a thoroughbred with a "shark fin wither", I use a treeless saddle pad underneath it and have not had any issues. After many rides the saddle is becoming shaped better for her wither and fits better and better the more I use it.
