HydraPak SkyFlask Speed – Collapsible Handheld Running Water Bottle (350ml, 500ml, 500ml Insulated) – Adjustable Strap, Lightweight, Spill-Proof Cap

Good runner’s flask
This is the flask that I prefer for running. Not insulated but easy to carry in your hand

Good flask, horrible strap
The flask itself is pretty good. The handheld strap, however, is worse than useless. The material is rough around the edges, literally, and is narrow, so a full flask digs into your hand more than it should. I ended up repurposing an old Orange Mud handheld, which works far better. Hydrapak, take note.The “speed” flip-open lid is a bit of a gimmick. Another reviewer pointed out that keeping the lid attached means you’re less likely to grab the wrong one at a race aid station, which is a fair point. But the tab is so stubborn that I usually just unscrew the whole thing out of frustration, making the flip-top feature useless. And even if you do manage to pop it open, the spout is much narrower than the actual flask opening, meaning ice cubes are pretty much out of the question—so much for insulation helping with cold drinks. Not that it matters much, since the insulation does not seem to make a noticeable difference anyway.On the upside, the insulation does make the flask more structured, which helps when tossing it in the dishwasher. If you’re thinking about getting one, save yourself a few bucks and skip the version with the strap.

Huge downgrade
This is a major downgrade from the previous designs.  The thumb loop itself isn’t bad at all, it’s the main strap.  The main strap is hard and abrasive on the skin making it itchy to wear and causes redness.  The sides of the Velcro are what is ruining this, it’s way too hard.  The snap closure system on the top is worse then my old model one is, the old one gives a satisfying click when closed and dosnt require too much force to close it, the new one takes a solid amount of force without even getting an audible click when secured.  I do not like this at all and will be buying the old gen instead.
