Before I explain what this item is, let me tell you that I have been subscribing to Stridebox the last few months and I have enjoyed trying out all the goodies in my boxes that are focused towards runners.
This month I received something unique that I have never seen before. It's called the bottle band. Ever hear of it?
"Turn any water bottle into an easy-to-hold running water bottle." There are so many times during my run that by the end of my run I am carrying an empty water bottle. It would be so nice to get rid of it when you are finished. And now you can, with the bottle band.
You can put it on any disposable water bottle. This is so small and lightweight that when you are done with your bottle you can discard it and put the band around your wrist or pocket. The only problem is finding a trash can along your route so you can toss your bottle away! ~L
Have you ever heard of the bottle band? What is a product you really enjoy?
Wow this is pretty neat! One of those products in which you say to yourself, "why didn't I think of that?" :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, how about it.
DeleteThat's actually a really cool idea! Lately, I've been getting thirstier on my runs. I normally rung pretty close to my house so I can just loop back, but still - this would be great to have!
ReplyDeleteIt is really cool. I'm not sure where you can purchase it at.
DeleteI have thought of this idea, but have never seen one before. Where do you find them?
ReplyDeleteGo to stridebox.com/bottleband
DeleteThis is genius! I would use one of these. I had an awesome water bottle with something you could put your hand through and a little zip pocket you could put stuff in... but I left it at a spin class a few years ago and never saw it again. I hope someone is enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteOh I hate that. When you find great products and you leave them somewhere by accident.
DeleteLOL too funny we just had those custom designed with our MRTT logo on them. Our mamas seem to love them. #ToTR
ReplyDeleteOh how cool. Had no idea you could get them custom made.
DeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteI have one of these, but have never actually tried one. I totally need to soon! Thanks for sharing and for joining the link up!
ReplyDeleteYes you should. You will like it.
DeleteWhat a cool invention!
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is!
DeleteWow, this is a great idea! It really is one of those things that seems so obvious when you see it but I would never have thought of it.
ReplyDeleteI know right! So simple.
DeleteNeat! It's not always easy to keep a full water bottle with me on runs.
ReplyDeleteI know. I hate carrying a full bottle in the beginning of my runs bc it's so heavy.
DeleteThis is really cool! That would definitely come in handy on my long runs!
ReplyDeleteYes. Perfect for long runs.
DeleteThat's a great idea! I don't normally run with a handheld because I hate having to carry extra things with me, but I like the idea of being able to toss the water bottle once it's empty!
ReplyDeleteAnd once it's tossed you don't have to carry anything else. The band is so lightweight that fits perfect around your wrist.
DeleteI actually carried a small water bottle on Sunday for MCM and was glad I did. The water stops were difficult to navigate with runners not moving once they got their cups.
ReplyDeleteYes they were very crowded. I don't normally stop at them but I was dying for water since I only had Nuun with me. I actually stepped off to the side when I took it so I wouldn't be in the way.
DeleteThis is such a great idea! So simple too.
ReplyDeleteOMG I completely love that! I hate reusable water bottles as I am a bit of a germaphobe so I usually just carry a water bottle without a carrier and that tends to be a pain. Would love to know where to get one of those. Off to Amazon I go!
ReplyDelete@heatherlas
I am sure you can buy it on Amazon but it was in my stridebox so go to
Deletestridebox.com/bottleband
I've seen people running on some of the nearby trails with something similar.
ReplyDeleteI am such a hands free person when running, but for someone who wants to carry water and doesn't want to have to deal with chaffing or heavy things like camelpacks, then this may just be the way to go.
Yes. There's nothing worse than carrying an empty water bottle while you are still running.
DeleteI got one of these in my Stridebox - thought it was a very clever idea, indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is. One of the better things in the box:)
DeleteThis is great! It makes so much sense and I can't believe these aren't already more popular!
ReplyDeleteI know. I can't believe I have never heard of it until I got it in my stridebox.
DeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteYes it really is. If only I had come up with it:)
DeleteOh, that is awesome! So simple but so useful. I hate carrying around an empty water bottle on the run. Thanks for linking up with us today!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Enjoy linking up:)
DeleteThat is GENIUS!!!
ReplyDeletesometimes during races, I want to throw my bottle but its a lot of money - this, you wouldn't feel bad just tossing if need be
Exactly!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool product and I wouldn't having one for those quick runs or when my kids want to go run and will not drink out of my bottle.
ReplyDeleteWe just got some custom for MRTT! I haven't used them yet but it seems pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Where can I get one? It doesn't say where to get them
ReplyDeleteI received this in my October stride box. I'm not sure which retailers are offering it but I will let you know when I find out. Thanks for reading!
