Multihold Handheld

High quality but room for improvement

I wanted to love this handheld and there's a lot of great things about it: it seems very durable, I really like the thumb hold, and the included water bottle is good. It's comfortable to hold. I've used it for at least 5 runs. But it's more fiddly than I would like: the strap is quite stiff and I have to mess with it a lot to initially tighten onto my hand. I have to cinch it almost every time I take a drink. It's also hard to loosen to stretch it back out, which makes it take extra time to swap bottles. The pocket can basically only hold 1, maybe 2, gels and a car key. The opening is quite tight so it's hard to get things in. I cannot get a full sealed pack of chews into it.

Hot!

I’ve been on the hunt for a handheld but I fear this one isn’t for me. My hand got hot holding it and the strap is really long and flaps out pretty easy, even when you think you have it secured. I would prefer to just hold the flask without the holder. Expensive lesson learned!

Best hand held so far

I’ve been using soft flask for over 10 years and have gone through at least 5 different brands. I like this cause I can tightly adjust it to my hand and after 15 minutes forget that it’s there. I can further adjust it as it empties out so it still feel snug. I’ve only used it for 7 runs so far but I think it going to hold up well in the durability department. I like that it is also compatible with my other 500mL soft flask
