NathanBlack/Finish Lime, Quick Squeeze, 12oz

Easy to hold and easy to get the water I need whilst running

I like the size and the easy to hold feature. I love that it doesn’t leak. However, it’s really difficult for me to squeeze and/or suck the drink from the bottle. If it wasn’t such hard work trying to actually get a drink, it’d be 5 stars.

Squeeze bottle is difficult to use. Much harder than a bike bottle. I can't understand why most companies are producing these.

I needed a replacement for my old Nathan handheld because after 4 years the pouch was ripping. This new one is not as good at all. In fact, I kind of hate it.The pockets are far too small. It has a zipper that’s large enough to put a key fob in and I keep a chapstick in there as well but I can’t fit anything else in there. Luckily my car has keyless entry, if it didn’t I don’t think traditional keys would fit.The other pocket has a fold over top for gels/salt, but I can’t keep the top folded over. I worry that my gels are going to fall out or that I’ll lose my tube of base salt. I don’t want to think about that when I’m running!Also, the lid doesn’t leak until I put it in the pouch. As soon as I put it in it’s pouch, it starts leaking and everything in the pockets gets wet. Maybe I got a dud? But I doubt it. My husband and I have the same pouch in different colors and we both hate it for the same reasons. This one is a hard pass.

Fit well in my hand but difficult to squeeze water from the bottle while running. I assume this occurs as the bottle is insulated.
