Staying hydrated while running, working out and being active is critical, but carrying a water bottle while running, walking, hiking and other activities is cumbersome. FlipBelt's sleek, contoured water bottles fit effortlessly into all of FlipBelt's fitness and running belts so you can carry your water hands-free.

Jiggle-free! 6oz is perfect!
As a long time runner, I never ran with water or my cellphone because I hated carrying things and could never find a running belt or water holder that didn't jiggle when I ran. I saw Flipbelt on a friend (with a totally different body type than mine). and asked about it. He had all the same problems with previous belts as I had. Thought I'd give it a try - I didn't care how much it cost, if it worked - it would be worth it! I am now a proud owner of two Flipbelts. About a week ago, I saw the water bottles advertised on Amazon and was thinking that it's a 50/50 shot of working, but again, if it works as well as the FlipBelt for me - it's priceless. Let's gamble! I must say, I'm actually blown away. I didn't feel a thing carrying the bottle. Awesome!!! For a hilly 6 miler in cool morning weather, I don't really need the water, but if I can't feel it on me - why not?! Safety third!... plus gives me just a little extra "hey, you can go a little harder - we've got water just in case" or "I know it's hotter this morning, but we've got you covered the temps keep rising" I bought the smaller 6oz bottle (which equates to about 8 good sized sips/squirts for me) and that's perfect for me. Even for a 10 miler, I don't think I'd need more than that. I was a little worried the 6oz was going to be too small - but it's perfect for me. I read other Flipbelt users saying that their bottle leaked or fell out of their belt. Neither were true for me. I have my phone in the front of the belt and the water in the back. (My FlipBelt is snug on me... hence the bounce-free feeling!) It isn't for running and drinking. You'll need to stop to put it back in... but, whatever, 3 seconds that takes is worth it for the jiggle free experience. Thank you FlipBelt for making me feel safer on my runs!

Perfect for long runs
I found that the Flipbelt Zip could hold my Pixel 2 (with case) in the zip pocket. Then I can stick two of the 11 oz bottles in the belt. I can hear water slosh in the bottles, but I sure can't feel a thing. They fit snug against me as I run, and I don't have to fidget with straps or anything.I haven't experienced any issues with the bottles trying to slide out. It did take a few runs to figure out the best method for getting the bottles in and out, but once I figured it out there was no problem. I also haven't had any issues with them leaking. Everyone is different, but for me this is the perfect setup.Since I live in the South, it can get really hot. I'm talking 80+ with 97% humidity at 6 am. I'm actually going to buy 2 more of the 11 oz bottles so I can swap them out mid-run.Helpful tip: I fill the bottles up about a third to a half full the night before and stick them in the freezer. Then when I'm ready, I fill them up the rest of the way. This helps to keep them colder longer.

6 oz model fits nicely in the FlipBelt pockets
6 oz model fits nicely in the FlipBelt pockets. It's obviously not a lot of water but that's kinda the point. I went with the smaller bottle as I figured the 11 oz would be too bulky or long but it would also probably fit just fine. Otherwise it's a no frills water bottle that's probably overpriced but matches well with the FlipBelt. Seems like a good way to sneak in adult beverages to places that might prohibit it too.

Edited- maybe not a Great bottle.
Great bottle. Does not leak. I have started filling it halfway and freezing it flat then filling the rest before my run. It not only keeps the water cold longer, but it keeps me cool during my run as I keep it in my lower back pocket of the flip belt. It is small and doesn't hold a lot of water, so for runs over 10 miles you might want something bigger or to build in water refill stops.I was worried about it being uncomfortable on my back, or annoying with water sloshing, but it doesn't bother me at all. I can't carry the handheld bottles bc the water sloshing back and forth drives me crazy on a run. This does not do that.*******Edited 8/29/17*******I have never edited a review before. I have used this bottle quite a few times always wearing it on my lower back area of my flip belt. It is in basically the same position every run and it had not bothered me. 3 days ago I used this bottle for an 18 mile training run. By mile 16 my back was starting to hurt pretty bad and I began adjusting my flip belt so that I was moving where the water bottle was pressed against my body. By the time I finished my last 2 miles, I ripped that thing off me it was bothering me so much. I figured it was just because it was such a long run, but my lower back hurt so bad that I couldn't lean against my car seat on the drive home. The next 2 days I could not believe how much my back hurt exactly where the bottle was. It felt like terrible bruising exactly in that small rectangular shape. It finally feels mostly better today, 3 days later. I will never use this bottle on long runs again and am actually nervous about using it even for normal runs 3-8 miles.

Great for runners
Love this bottle for shorter runs unless it's really hot and I need to carry more fluids. I have both the 6 & 11 oz bottles and use them almost daily. I don't use the actual flip belt only because I have another belt that I've been using for a while that I like but both bottles still fit which makes me happy! Over all these are great little bottles to have especially if you like to run hands-free.

Great accessory for the FlipBelt and a great way to carry water with you on a run.
This is my second year of serious running and last summer it was always a pain to find some way to carry water that was not uncomfortable or annoying. I did find an armband that carried water but it was in such a small amount that it is not practical for 10-12 mile runs (my normal long run) on a hot day. I bought a FlipBelt and 2 of these water bottles and I love them. They rest against the body in a way that does not make the water slosh all over inside of the bottle and they are easy to access midrun. I now know why many of my serious runner friends use a FlipBelt with these water bottles.

Easy to use
Worked great in my flipbelt. Easy to get out and put back while running. I especially like that the pull up top part is a soft silicone so that while trying to drink and run at the same time you don't jam hard plastic into your teeth.

Great value, quality and product
Excellent product, really great value. One downside, don't want to shatter anyone's dreams: bigger bottle, more water; more weight. Nightmare. Crushed by Newton again...when will this evil wizard leave good people alone. Luckily now we are living on a flat earth hopefully this will fix the problem. We can only hope.

Not suitable with zip pocket Flip Belt
I bought two of the 150ml Flip Belt water bottles. I have a regular Flip Belt and also one with the zip pocket. These bottles do not work well with the Flip Belt with the zip pocket. This belt is taller than the regular belt by about 10mm and the bottles slide to the back and become unreachable. One of the bottles also popped out and fell on the ground the first and only time I ran with them in the zip pocket Flip BeltThey work well on the regular non zip pocket Flip Belt because the fit is tighter and they feel comfortable even when full of water and are quite a good solutionThe bottle tops are not a great design and they are hard to open on the run with your teeth...it might be possible to replace them with some found on other sports drink bottles

It is brilliant, you hardly notice wearing it as it hugs ...
I have had this bottle for 6 months now. It is brilliant, you hardly notice wearing it as it hugs your back. I used it at least 3 times a week while out running.Shame that it started leaking last week and now the top itself has fallen apart, rendering it useless. Way overpriced for its quality. Great while it lasted though

Easy to carry
Used it in fitbelt when running. Better than hand held bottle, comfortable. Little bit fiddley to start with

Excellent with the running flipbelt as you don't feel you ...
Excellent with the running flipbelt as you don't feel you are carrying anything. I bought a larger 500cc flipbelt bottle for my longer runs but if you are considering very long distance runs you may want to consider buying two. For me the added comfort level whilst running is definitely worth paying a little bit more for.
