Water bottle advice

    Hi all, I'm trying to find a handy (no pun intended :D) small water bottle that has either handle or strap that I could use while running/walking instead of carrying the conventional shelf bought water bottles. I know there must be many on the market but could someone show me or tell me where I could find some, doesn't have to be in a specific area as I could purchase online.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have a look at the one's in stock in Elvery's sport, if there's a branch near you. They stock the Nathan line of products, which are belt-based, so you can try them on and see how they fit.

    I can't drink from a cup or normal bottle for some reason when running, without stopping.

    Would like to use one of these belt-based deals for an Olympic distance triathlon. But nobody I have seen uses them, and I don't want to look like an idiot coming in in the bottom half wearing one.

    In all honesty you don't need one.

    I've seen guys wearing camelbaks in sprint tris.

    You can drink from a cup when drinking, you just don't get it all and end up with half of it down your front. What harm.

    Was in Elvereys today, they have a handheld bottle with velcro strap. Addidas I think, €7.99.

    Also had the Nathan sports belt - about €45 IIRC.
