Simple Hydration water bottle Review and Giveaway {Closed}

This Giveaway has closed.  Check our most recent postings for other great giveaways.

Today we are both reviewing the Simple Hydration water bottle. I love that this a small business.  The inventor of this bottle and owner of the company is an Ironman and runner. He took a lot of care in creating this design.  And I think it works great!







DisneyGroom:
This is a great bottle for a shorter run or perhaps for hike with the wife and friends. A large cap allows for the addition of ice and good access to clean the bottle. 

The lip does a great job of holding the bottle wherever it is placed. Even with the bounce in my stride, I never felt like the bottle was going to fall out. 

The manufacturer recommends that the bottle be tucked into shorts or tights that have a drawstring. Just make sure you don't tie the string too tight; you need to be able to get the bottle in an out without too much effort. 

As an added benefit, the bottle served as a constant reminder to keep proper form.

I carried the bottle in the small of my back, so it reminded me to keep my back straight. For runners like me, who struggle to keep good form, this was a nice additional benefit. The cold water also made me feel a little cooler on my hot, humid, North Florida runs. 

I used the bottle on several single track trail runs. I must say that before I headed out on the run, I was concerned that after a few minutes the bottle would be in my hand, not on my waist. Even as I slipped on the wet trail, the bottle managed to stay put. I really like having a bottle of water that I did not have carry in my hand. The bottle easily slipped in and out of the draw string of my running shorts.



 



DisneyBride:

Very handy to use! Will hold 13 ounces. This seems to be the perfect amount for a five to ten mile run. I would even say it can go further if there is a water fountain or someplace I can refill it during my run. For a distance in the double digits and no hope of a water station, I'd probably carry two of these. I've seen a few photos of athletes with the Simple Hydration bottle in Ironman events, running with two bottles tucked into the waist.

I wore mine tucked into a racebelt. It held snug on several long trail runs and during a local race.

The shape of the bottle fits comfortably - even if you decide just to carry it instead. It is a softer, more pliable plastic, and does not feel rigid like the Nalgene type bottles.  Look closely and you will see grooves in a pattern four across; these grips keep the bottle from getting slippery in your waistband or your hand.

Finally, it just pops in the dishwasher - so very easy to care for.
