5 of 5 quality product April 7, 2013
Reviewer: Nick from Reading, Berkshire United Kingdom  
It's just a bottle, right??  Well, in my humble opinion as a moderately keen club runner, it's a lot more than that.  I ran in a marathon last summer where they ran out of water at all 3 last stops.  Horrible!  Cross as I was, I accepted that my hydration was my responsibility.  Couldn't find a decent choice of products until I found this store online.  Great choice - and with my order, very quick delivery.  Didn't fancy carrying on my back so choose this handheld - and used yesterday for the first time over 10 miles.  Couldn't believe how "natural" it felt to carry.  Product quality and performance is first-class.  Really pleased.

4 of 5 Really pleased, minor improvements to the bottle? September 20, 2012
Reviewer: John Pickford from York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom  
After debating bladder vs handheld for I while I was really pleased with this handheld and it's really comfortable on the hand.
Great service, and delivered in a couple of days.
The adjustment for the strap is easy and it feels supportive without being restrictive & the pocket is useful. The bottle is easy to drink from, with a good flow and the bent top gives a more natural hand position.
However, the bottle shape is not so easy to hold as a my round Inov8 bottle (which also fits the holder well) and the twist top is not easy to open / close with cold, wet hands - needs more grip.
Overall though - really pleased.

5 of 5 Very well designed handheld September 6, 2012
Reviewer: Sam Robson from St Ives, Cambs United Kingdom  
I bought this handheld primarily for running too and from work to allow me to carry my phone. The pocket is very roomy without ever getting in the way and upsetting the balance of the bottle, and is easily big enough for a chunky iPhone and a few gels. The tilted head makes drinking easy on the move, and the design of the bottle is very comfortable to hold. The handle is very comfortable without the rubbing that I have gotten with other handhelds in the past. This weekend I used this bottle for UTMB, carrying it most of the way around the course. I didn't really notice that I was carrying it most of the time, and it didn't hinder me on the climbs or when my hands were needed. All in all very happy and will hopefully use this in future races.

5 of 5 Dispensing with rucksacks August 21, 2012
Reviewer: Nywanda from Aberdeen, aberdeenshire United Kingdom  
Having an impressive amount of rucksacks already, I knew it would be borderline divorce-land if I bought yet "another" back-pack, despite the lure of the UltrAspire range. I wanted a lighter weight alternative but never felt confident enough to rely on checkpoints entirely. The UltrAspire ISOMERIC POCKET Handheld seemed like the ideal solution. A large enough volume in the 20 oz bottle coupled with a padded, material grip-band which gave a sustainable comfortable hand position. The pocket itself is integrated, stretchy and large enough to fit a Blackberry phone, gels (plural)and CLIF bar easily and it's all totally adjustable via the bottle neck clasp and the elasticity of the material. The overall weight of the bottle takes a little getting used to but it does beat having a traditional rucksack wrapped around your body and obviously it gets so much lighter the further on you go. I've used them with no hand fatigue and plan to use for all longer runs/races which require self-support.

4 of 5 Isometric Pocket Handheld July 23, 2012
Reviewer: Andrew from Kidderminster, UK  
EXCELLENT handheld! I was stoked that it fit snugly and was easy to adjust on the run. The pocket was just big enough for a few GU's or a smart phone and the shape of it didn't allow anything to bounce. It can be a bit difficult to remove items from the pocket but I guess that is better than things bouncing out. The only bad thing is the bottle. After one use I had bite holes in the nozzle. Also twisting the nozzle with my teeth was kind of awkward, especially with the silly angled neck. The magnet on the bottom seems like dead weight to me, I removed it immediately. The plastic was soft and easy to squeeze however and the flow of the nozzle was just about right. One other great thing is that the handheld will work with other bottles! So if you do not like the supplied bottle others may work! So many try to reinvent the bottle, I'll keep using the standard cycling bottle. Despite my bottle complaints overall excellent product, I will be purchasing another!
