Nathan SpeedDraw Plus - Borraccia

Usually water bottles taste like plastic when water is stored for a couple hours but this don't. The only downside is it leeks a little after drinking from it but not a big drama.

I've been using this bottle for short runs. I like that it fits my hand, and the webbing can be tightened so I don't actually grip the bottle. It also has enough room to fit my key and some chews. I was disappointed that the pouch isn't big enough to hold my phone, but if you have a small phone, it will do. I have a Samsung S9 and it just doesn't fit. The other thing is that my hand does get sweaty holding the bottle - I've added a sweat band and that helps.

Easy grip, no issues with the strap and bottle doesn't leak. Pouch is big enough for iPhone 7, car fob and 2 gels, would recommend.

I'm training for a half marathon, and I usually use a hydration belt (one of those fanny packs with the little water bottles). I like my belt, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to have something bouncing around my waist - that's why I bought this bottle. I bought it in the "cosmo" color - I love the pink, Maroon, and Orange together - it makes me want to take it along for the run. The sport cap is awesome - I hate having to fiddle with stuff while I run, this allows me to just keep going. And with the strap, I'm not actually holding on to the bottle for the whole run - as the other reviewers have mentioned, it straps to my hand and is just "there" - nothing to consciously have to keep a grip on. I like the capacity of this bottle - an 8 or 10 oz bottle just wouldn't be enough for me - I read a lot about runners who think taking water on runs under 10 miles is weak and I DON'T CARE :-) if I'm running 9 miles, you bet I need over 10 ounces to make it happen. Love this bottle, it's great quality and looks like it will last a long time.

Love this! I love the size... My husbands Nathan QuickDraw is just not comfortable on my hand and the 22 ounces is more than I want to carry. I love that this is 18 ounces and I hardly feel that I am carrying anything at all because the strap is so well designed along with the shape of the bottle. It has roughened plastic on the sides to make it even easier to grip, but it fits my hand so well, it just self attaches -no need to grip. I recently tried two different ultimate direction handhelds... I hated them and returned them. People complain that this bottle leaks, but the alternative is an ultimate direction bottle that you can't get but a teeny tiny swallow of water after a great amount of squeezing and sucking. I love that this bottle lets me easily squeeze out a huge mouthful of water when I take a drink. I just keep it in my car's drink holder on my drive to the trail, then it goes in my hand, so I don't care if it leaks when lying on its side. Be sure to check all the color options for cheaper prices... I got the pink one for $18 and free shipping (prime). It's bumped up to $22 now. I have 2 and just ordered 3 more in different colors for my children to have on trail runs. I recommend the bottle colors that are slightly opaque (rather than the solid silver ones) as you can easily see how many ounces of water you have left. My 50 pound 8 year old loves it and said it fits his hand well. Oh... The pink color shows a round bottle, but it is actually the flat sided flask that ships. I wouldn't change a thing about this bottle... Love it!
