Amphipod Full Tilt Velocity 20 ounce

Comments about Amphipod Full Tilt Velocity 20 ounce Hydration:

It looks great and described great too. The problem is when you use it. It leaked out the top after about 5 minutes into my run. Poor construction of product and not durable. Also, when filled up to 20 OZ., it pulls on your waist and that is annoying. Overall, not worth the money.

This water bottle system works very well. It does very, very little bouncing. It fits perfectly into the lower small of my back. I disagree with another review that it won't stay put. I have had mine for about 9 months and use it for all my mid to longer runs. (6-12 miles). Pocket is plenty large to hold phone, music, and/or gels.

With the rave reviews I thought this would be real good.. it isn't. I hate this water bottle and holder.

First the good. It does sit in the small of the back when the strap is tight enough and the simple strap around the nozzle of the bottle works. 20 oz is a nice size good for 6-8 mile runs and I use it with a Salomon 1.5L pack for my longer runs.

Now the bad. When it is tight enough to stay in place I cannot breath enough, actually hurts my diaphragm. It tends to loosen up after awhile too. When it is too loose -- which since I want to breath, is all the time, it moves around way too much. I spend a huge amount of time when I run fidgeting with this thing.

Also, if you don't get the nozzle completely closed -- which would seem easy but you can open it a crack get the loop around it after you stick it in the holder -- it leaks nicely.

I bought this to hydrate during my long runs (8-13 miles) while I train for my half marathon. The bottle holds enough fluid and the front pocket is great - it expands to hold gel packs, car keys......actually a lot more than I expected. What I don't like about this product is that I thought it would sit lower on my hips, however the only way I can get it to sit tight and not juggle around is to put it up around my torso. I'm not a big fan of that position, but it gets the job done. Also, I run with the bottle on my back side but when I need to get the bottle out or retrieve my gels, I have to spin it around so I can get what I need. Maybe I'm being too picky, and this is the first hydration accessory that I've ever used, but I'm going to see if there is something else that works better for me. This product is good quality, lightweight and is nice......but probably just not right for me.

Tried a couple of hydration belts and they always bounced. It drove me crazy. This one doesn't bounce. I love it. It's easy to pull the bottle out and put it back in while on the run.

I use this product on my jogs. It holds just the right amount of liquid for 8-10 miles. Zipper compartment holds an ample amount of gel packs & energy chews. I look forward to using it next month in the Wounded Warrior Half Marathon
