Buddy Pouch H2O

My favorite running accessory! Use it on all my runs. Magnetic is strong and stays in place. Love it so much I have gifted to my runner friends

I bought one and loved it so much, I purchased another. I attach it to my Janji waist pack and the magnetic clasp holds really well. It's light enough to avoid causing any bounce. I run in the sweltering heat, and need to carry water, but I have never found a hydration waist pack or backpack that doesn't drive me crazy. The bottles are a bit small for a long run on a very hot day, but carrying two at a time helps; I will probably get a 3rd to attach to the back of my waist. There is a larger size that was sold out everywhere last time I checked.

I have had one of these for years that I used on every race and then bought a second one for a marathon this year that I didn't want to rely on provided aid stations. With the smaller bottles it works perfect on most shorts. I only ran into issues on my running tights (to be fair I hadn't tested it prior to the race) which didn't work well. The magnets didn't seem to want to stay connected and the lack of a thicker waist band as on my running shorts meant the weight of the bottle full kept allowing it to rotate upwards and out. Eventually I gave up and just carried both - which isn't bad - they are small enough to fit in the hand easily.. Lesson learned - use these with my normal running shorts only! Other wise, these have worked perfect for every run!

I am a fan of Running Buddy products to hold ID and keys. However, I needed something else to carry a small water/hydration bottle that I could put on and take off quickly. I looked into all of the "clipped" versions but unless you have the right waistband thickness or clip your underwear along with your running shorts/pants it just jostled loose. The Running Buddy H20 Pouch has strong magnets and when properly secured it wont go anywhere while running or just doing house/yard work so I ca keep up w/hydration. Plus it provides enough water for a run of a decent distance if I need more liquids I'll buy another. Definitely a functional item with lots of value.

Seriously love this water bottle. Yes, it is small, but it has been the perfect amount of water for me on my evening walk. I wouldn't take it on a major hike or anything, but this is absolutely perfect for walks in the park and around town. I used to not even take water with me because I didn't want to carry a water bottle around, but this is light weight and clasps on very easily. I honestly don't even feel it. I should have bought one a long time ago, it's perfect little water bottle and has really become a life changer. I always take it with me now!

I’m on the fence about this. It is convenient for shorter runs, as I hate carrying a handheld. The magnets mostly stick well and I haven’t had an issue with the bottle leaking as others have. That being said, when the bottle is full it does tend to bounce/drag and this doesn’t work with more elasticized type waistbands. It works better with wide flat waistbands. It’s not super comfy worn in front so I wear it in the back and there have been times the entire thing fell off when I grabbed the bottle. The small Flipbelt bottle seems to work better as it’s slighly smaller than the pouch. Overall it’s a decent alternative when you want a small amount of water on shorter runs (and I wouldn’t wear this for a race).

I highly recommend this little pouch for long runs and hikes. I recently used it while hiking in the Grand Canyon. It's great because you don't have to keep getting into your backpack to get a drink. The leakproof bottle does only hold about 7 ounces of water so you will need to refill it if on a long hike, but way better than getting into your pack every few minutes. The magnets are strong and the pack stayed in place, even with 100+ temperatures and never came off of my waistband. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

I've been using Running Buddy pouches (regular and XL 6") for several years. I love the way they fit (I wear them in the front) on those below-the-waist shorts/pants/jeans. Even if I have pockets, I put my phone (Nexus 5-now 5X) into the front mesh and carry credit cards, drivers' license, etc in the back pocket. Even though I do use a money belt when traveling in cities infamous for their pickpockets, I find the Running Buddy to be nearly equally secure and lots more accessible. However, I'd found that I needed something a little smaller to carry a power bank for my phone. I'd tried a larger pouch from another company, and, though the size was good, it simply didn't stay on. So, I ordered a twin set of these directly from the Running Buddy site (a great bargain, IMO) to see if the pouch would work. It does! I also use it to hang my "timepiece" when I'm not wearing a watch. My Ford CMax Energi key fob fits into the pouch, also. When I don't need one to store other items, I find the water bottles to be great. Each came with both sizes so I can load up when trekking for longer distances without carrying a back pack. Runny Buddy pouches have freed me from purse carrying. Even though I use a Multi-Sac brand which wears like a back pack, it still gets to be hot and heavy.

Parfait pour la course à pied. Se glisse dans le short. Très bon maintien avec l'aimant, la gourde ne saute pas et est très bien accessible en courant. La meilleure solution que j'ai trouvé pour la course à pied !

I was very skeptical about how well the magnet would work, but I have done countless train runs and road runs and it works very well. The bottle has never popped out of the holder even once. It is very comfortable to wear and I am a real difficult customer :)

Great product, fits nice and snug on your waist band so no moving or jumping around when you run. The bottle is easy to get in and out when on the move, all in all a great idea.

I have finally bought and used this product after mulling over for ages because it's quite expensive for a water bottle. That said, it is sooooooo much better than the hand held bottles which drive me mad. I am extremely pleased with it and wished I'd got it ages ago! It is v firmly held in place by magnets.

As long as your clothes are close fitting.
