Not bad….running with ANYTHING in your hand is annoying but I have to carry fluid with me on my long runs since there are no public water fountains anywhere. My drink is very ice cold when I leave my house but about 30 minutes into a run it gets very warm from my hot sweaty hand. The pocket is small – my larger than most cell phone doesn’t fit – I can only fit a tiny pack of fruit gummies in it – a SMALL phone, dollar bill, gu pack or a key may fit but not all the items at once. Also, wish it were BPA free?? Overall, it’s good. I also like the soft bite nozzle.

I decided to buy the Nathan hand held after all the personal reviews i heard from my triathlete friends about any of the belt systems. Basically the belt systems bounce around and are distracting.
My Nathan performed well on my run. I found it really comfortable in my hand, no leaking (once spout is closed) and pretty easy to switch back and forth. I thought it would feel awkward, but it quickly disappeared in my hand.
I would have given it 5 stars, but at the end of the day you are carrying around an extra pound or two that does make one of your arms a little weary and require switching. This downside could be applied to any of the carrying bottles and it’s more than compensated by feeling stronger at the end of my runs (about 60 minutes) than i use to.

I purchased this thinking it would be a handy way to hold my water. However, with cold morning training runs, I found it annoying to carry. Not just “annoying” but rather that the bottle was cold, the carrier isn’t well insulated, so my hands were cold within minutes. I will keep with my water belt and stay away from this.

Yes, I do have to hold it, but the design makes this water bottle a nominal extra weight. Nice cell phone zipper pocket for keys, etc.

It has a secure, snug fit in your hand. It is a bit large for longer runs, 10+ miles. But would be great on an out and back course, leave it at mile 2 and pick up at mile 8. Overall, it’s a great product. I would try out the smaller version for longer runs in the summer.
