Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Thermal Lite 20 ounce

Comments about Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Thermal Lite 20 ounce Hydration:

This handheld bottle from Amphipod is by far the best I have used. I have used various brands and find the Amphipod the most comfortable to run with. I have gone from getting cramps in my hand and thumb on longer runs to no cramps at all. This is due to the sleek well designed bottle and the adjustable strap that goes over your hand. The only slight difficulty is when trying to get the last few sips of water out of the bottle. Definitely only a slight negative though!, I will be purchasing another so I can do a straight change with the bottles when racing.

Best running bottle ever. Lightweight, easy to grip on long runs and the pocket in the handle makes carrying the little essentials, boogie wipes, carkey, lozenges effortless.

This is a great handheld for holding water. Doesn't leak. Doesn't have a nasty plastic smell/flavor. Neoprene sleeve helps keep water cold and does something with my sweat so I don't notice it while running.

Nice colors. Fast and easy transaction

Comfortable to hold, and strap adjusts well to hand. Can put electrolytes or a few $$ in strap, but not much else.

Problem is that it leaks from the spout. Squeezing causes it to squirt all over. Cannot put it in a race bag before a race as it leaks everywhere. You have to carry it at all times. And you cannot just swap lid with another bottle. The threads are slightly different.

I'm still looking for a good quality hand-held bottle. Even for nearly $20, the quality of the bottle is poor.

I like the Amphipod Hydraform Handheld but when it is full my hand slides to the top and it is kind of uncomfortable. I have small hands so this may not be the hydration handheld for me. I will come back and review again after using it a bit more.

I like the shape in my hand when I run and love the green! I do wish the pouch was nylon and expanded differently..a phone wouldn't fit very well in it but it's great for a snack and key. The handle has very soft fabric against the back of the hand so it's very comfortable to carry.

I was using the smaller FuelBelt bottle, which only holds 10 oz, and found this bottle fits great and holds 20z of fluid. Great for longer runs when you don't have a water fountain to refill. I agree with the previous comment, it can be a little tough to open/close the bottle, you have to bite down and pull pretty hard, but nothing more than that. Pouch is great, holds a lot more than smaller bottle holders. I would buy this again.

I really love the design of this bottle - I have small hands and was struggling to find something I could carry on a run and not keep dropping. This bottle has an adjustable strap that stays put and keeps my hand from getting slippery or cold! A most excellent choice.

I bought this for my 1st half-marathon training and have carried it in 2 since then. I wanted something lightweight but still carried a good supply of fluid. I've had not problems with the bottle leaking or slipping out of the holder (2 things I've had issues with others). The zippered pocket is also ample (I carry my pepper spray, Chapstick, key and a gel pack- which is the only reason it feels heavy at times. I will be searching this brand for my next purchase.

I used this bottle a half dozen times. Really enjoyed not having to grip the bottle while I ran. Bottle is somewhat insulated which is nice. Large opening which made it easy to fill. Now the bad. I fell during a trail run and the rubber strap broke. The strap is not very thick. I tend to be hard on gear. I will not purchase again given the price. You may have better luck or be less clumsy than me.
