The bottles are spaced evenly around your waist and there's a small zip pouch at the front. I did my 18 miler with 4 bottles on it on Saturday and had my usual squash in 2 bottles, water in 1, diluted lucosade sport in one and my jelly beans in the pouch. In an OCD way tried to drink evenly from the bottles but not such a big deal with any more than 2. Once you get the velcro support right it doesn't bounce around. So pleased I made the break from my hand held running bottle which was giving me a freaky Bluto right arm bicep!!!

Anyone used it?

MissChappo Mar 2012 11:15pm, 12 Mar 2012 11,594 posts	0 MissChappo I've got a Nike pouch which I wear every run. When I run long I carry water in my (shameful) donut bottle, then when I've finished the water I undo the belt and loop it through so as not to have to carry it. I recognise this is not a helpful post but I thought I'd share.
