[QUOTE=Celeste;179202]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.)

I have used the Flash-Flo, at 45 oz it is better for longer rides, as your training goes on you won't be stopping as often. It keeps the weight low to minimize neck & shoulder stress. When I'm riding on my own, I still carry a couple water bottles for those days when I just can't find anyplace to refill.http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/st...berId=12500226
