Has anyone tried the waist pouch one? I have arthritis in my left shoulder and as a new rider I don't want that extra pressure and poundage on my collar bones. But I don't always feel comfortable reaching down to grab my bottle and drink either.

I was looking at the waist pouch one last night called a catalyst; but it only holds about 28 ounces. That is ok, as I would just refill on our rest stops that seem to be about every 10 miles. (Training for a century ride.)

Any comments? I like the idea of a camel back...but just don't think I can handle the extra weight on my shoulders. How do you all feel about this? How does the weight effect you or your riding?

Thanks,
