Adidas Neon in Herren-Turnschuhe & SneakerThe 7 Best Running Water Bottles for Tackling Long Runs

Looking for a lightweight, no-nonsense running water bottle to keep you hydrated and hold just a snack or two? The Amphipod handheld running water bottle is super comfortable and checks all the boxes of a practical running accessory.

The bottle’s curved surface fits perfectly in your palm while a cushioned holder secures your grip around the back of your hand. Gear loops on the adjustable holder can also fit a gel or chews for quick fuel. This running water bottle is perfect for your first handheld, where comfort is most important and you want to forget you’re even carrying it.

If you’re going for runs where you just need a little bit of extra water, but don’t want to be weighed down by a bulky handheld bottle, this wrist-mounted bottle is a great place to start. It has a neoprene holster that protects it against the elements and your sweat, and it’s ergonomically designed to rest farther up your arm where it’ll move around less as you swing your arms back and forth.

vegan cuban boots with metal detail in black snake hydration belt is a great piece of gear for transitioning from short runs that require little to no fuel to several-hour adventures. This belt’s pocket is big enough for your valuables and snacks, while the hip belt hugs your waist—a relatively low-movement part of your featuring during runs—to minimize bouncing.

It’s a bit trickier to reach for your bottle when it’s mounted on your hip, especially when you’re trucking along at a good speed, but you can much grov easily maintain that speed when your hands are free to keep you balanced.

The ultra-minimalist Duro Dyna is an ideal companion for runners who don’t like the feeling of holding a bulky bottle but aren’t ready to jump to hydration packs or waist belts.

This model utilizes a soft flask, which contracts and flattens as you drink from it—toward the end of your run, when the bottle is empty, it’ll compress enough to stash in a pocket. On top of that, though the whole package is incredibly lightweight, it still comes with a full stabilization system complete with a mesh pocket for valuables or snacks.

Craving cool water toward the end of a hot summer run? This Nathan handheld uses a double-walled insulated shell to keep your hydration fluids cold, even as you’re pounding out miles under direct sun. And despite its sturdy, redundant construction, it still weighs just 5 ounces. There’s also one storage pocket that’s big enough to hold a phone, card, key, or a couple snacks. It's a great option for mid-distance runs in the heat.

Pro tip: Put some ice in the bottle for ice-cold water when you need it most—and don’t be afraid to spray some on your face to cool off (if you have chances to refill on your route).

This bottle is the perfect introduction to carrying your extra goodies—plus water—on the go. It has a zippered pocket that fits either a phone or your valuables with snacks, and CamelBak uses a comfortable mesh around the bottle to help you tighten the harness snugly around your hand.

It can feel a bit bulky when you fill it to its max capacity, but this makes it a great means to learn through experience what you do and don’t need on a run.

Just like Nathan’s QuickSqueeze, the SpeedView has a double-walled insulated bottle that can keep your fluids cool for hours. The difference between the two bottles comes down to the hardware disconnected: The former has a small, lightweight pouch that’s ideal for a few gels, a house key, and some cash, whereas the latter has a clear, protective case for your phone.

This option’s ideal if you want to track your stats on a phone-based app like Strava without splurging on a dedicated running watch.
