Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased one of these Nathan water bottles over 2 years ago, and it's my favorite bottle by far For running. The hand grip allows you to carry the bottle without having to actually "hold" onto it. I've taken this bottle on many a long training run, and it's gotten me through a few half marathons as well. I have had zero leaking issues, and I love that I don't have to pull or yank or unscrew anything to drink. I can take a nice big swig with this bottle (I hate bottles that trickle out water, or that I have to bite down to drink through a straw). This bottle is awesome in every way. NOTE: listing says bottle holds 18oz. This is not true. I used a measuring cup and 16oz of water filled it to the very brim. Now, to address some questions about how much the pocket holds. Some have said "It will hold 'x' phone", and others have said it absolutely will not hold the same phone. I believe all reviewers are accurate, but the pouch size varies based on the color chosen. If you look at the pictures carefully, you will see that on some colors, the zippered pouch goes up all the way to the top. These models will fit my iPhone 6 in an Otterbox case with a little wiggle room to spare (zips very easily, not a tight fit, still room for fuel, keys, tissues, etc). Other colors show a pocket that is more centered on the front of the bottle, and shows some fabric between the zipper and the top of the bottle. When I try to fit the same phone in that pocket, it doesn't fit by a long shot. Still fits my keys, fuel, and tissues, and I've stuffed gloves in there as well, but even my iPhone 5s was a snug fit and hard to zip all the way. So if fitting a large phone in the pocket is important to you, study the pictures and choose carefully. As of this writing, it appears that the Black, Cockatoo, Very Berry, Methyl Blue, and Bluestone are the larger pocket size.
