      Comments about Ultimate Direction Access Hydration Waistpack:

      Outstanding product! The design is well-thought-out and highly functional, and the construction and materials are superior. This baby is built to last. I use it speed skating, and love that it is sleek and completely out of the way. It "carries" and breathes so well that I forget it's even there. Except that, hey, I don't have to hang on to my water bottle any more. Yay!

      Even on the fly, the holster is so well designed that I can get the bottle out for a swig AND back in with absolutely NO FUSS. Wow!

      Though the spout works well, and doesn't leak, I don't care for the gushing burst of water that nearly gags me. Still, it's easy enough to remove the lid to drink normally. Better yet, I just use another bottle that I like.

          I used this bottle on long runs and found it difficult to remove the bottle from its holster without stopping. If it weren't for the tight fit, this would be a good product.

            This is a great product for anyone who has a short waist. It is easy to grab while running and it does not poke me in my back like some of the others that sit in a vertical position. I bought it on a lark and now can't imagine not having it. I don't like to run while holding on to anything so this works fantastic. The belt is comfortable and even adjustable. The price is also great. Get one for you and your running mates.

            the bag is good. comfotable and easy to use. although it's cool that the bottle and pop-up top which is easy to use when you're running without having to stop, the cap seems to leak after five uses. if you buy this, you're better off using a different bottle for your fluids.

              I use this item for training, and it worked out great on my 50K trail race, as I could top off my bottle as needed at the Aid Stations. I also mounted a Nathan gel bottle holder on the side, so I can buy gel in bulk and use it without the hassle and waste of the little foil packets. It is easy to access the water bottle; you just reach back with your left and hold the bottom of the cradle and pull the bottle with your right...simple. My bottle has never fallen out, and the little pouch is perfct for carrying the few things you really need. It has a little plastic clip inside that I attach my car key to. I liked it enough to buy a second one for my son.
