Nathan SpeedDraw Plus: The Ultimate Insulated Flask and Handheld Running Water Bottle for Runners and Hikers Review

I LOVE and own numerous Nathan hand held bottles and was very disappointed to see that my new vacuum bottle had air bubbles between the insulation and the outer shell after only 3 short cycles. I dried the inside of the bottle completely and the air bubbles stayed. I have four other Nathan vacuum flasks that I have been using for three years now and absolutely love them. No problem. Not happy that this one appears to be defective.

I liked everything about this water bottle except that no matter how tightly I screwed on the cap, the water kept pouring out. Oddly enough, the only time it didn't leak was when I went for a sip of water. Water flows out from under the lid, not out of the spout you drink from. Pros: Feels light, only had to be adjusted a few times during a 10 mile run, and is big enough to hold gels, keys, and cards. Cons: Not big enough for iPhone 11 and leaking. Bottom line: I'll most likely be returning…

Gift to my husband for his birthday. It took 5 washes and 3 mixtures of vinegar and water to get rid of the weird smell from inside. The cap that the bottle came with was leaking badly. I ordered a separate pack of 3 replacement caps and they leaked less. It also makes a loud noise when you try to squeeze the bottle to squeeze water out, so all you have to do is bite down on the silicone cap. my husband's hand and he says it's "good enough/good" which, as we all know, actually means "I don't…

After trying a running water pouch (didn't like it) and two expensive hip bottle holders (neither of which held me up), I settled on the portable one. I have to say I think I've found something I can live with. I live in the south, it's hot and muggy there. I wanted something for my 6-10 mile runs. I load this bottle of Gatorade and ice and it takes about 10 miles. SWEET! The water is light (obviously) but it doesn't hurt my run. Speeddrive is really good. No more biting water. The bottle…

Overall I would like to give 5 stars. That's the ideal amount of water for me for 5-10 miles. The storage case holds my iPhone 11 plus ID. When I'm not carrying my phone in my pocket, it fits a lot of things: keys, lip balm, etc. It's very easy to clean and feels comfortable in the hand. I don't notice it when I run. The only downside is that when you squeeze it, a lot of water sometimes runs out from under the lid and then everything in the storage bag gets wet. I tried really unscrewing the…

Just right for my runs, will go about 3-8 miles of water depending on the weather without being too big or heavy. I prefer this to a hydration belt or vest that bounces around. The case fits my iPhone XS Max with a medium sized case when needed, but it fits well. I prefer to use it for pepper spray, band-aids, lipstick, etc. and put the phone in my pocket. No leaking issues like the others and you really have to squeeze pretty hard to get the water out. I wish it was actually a little easier…

I run in this sweater, feels good in hand. I bought 2 of these and only one of them has me pressing really hard when putting it on as the last thread isn't aligned smoothly and will run out. Overall I think it will loosen up and continue just as easily as the other one. They stand up when they have liquid in them, but when empty they won't stand up on their own because the attached pouch is heavy enough to knock the bottle over. The bottles and caps are dishwasher safe and the shoulder/zipper…

I have been using this type of portable water bottle for many years. I think this is my 5th or 6th I really love it for the size, comfort, ability to work with my phone and water capacity. I didn't fight the leak like some say. This is my favorite PDA. However, over time, the strap that attaches the bottle to the hand begins to break and slip off. Only once have I had a bottle that did it right from the start. Unfortunately, the latter also works. It just doesn't hold up. I can't find anything…
