Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

I have a thoroughbred with a "shark fin wither", I use a treeless saddle pad underneath it and have not had any issues. After many rides the saddle is becoming shaped better for her wither and fits better and better the more I use it.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

They don't stay in with out the hooks. It's not a fault, it's just the way they're shaped. Runners do better with a behind the head Bluetooth option, or one with a collar that rests on the shoulders.

The upper (forward) handle bars can be left off. I only use them to hang my headset on when I'm not riding. I find the lower handles more comfortable while exercising.

Diagonal like over one shoulder and under the opposite armpit? Yes, but that would probably feel worse. Or if you mean straight across your chest like you'd wear it around your waist just higher, I suppose. I was worried about how it would feel around my waist as well, and don't feel it at all when I run. It has efficient size adjustments, so you can make it tight enough so that it doesn't move when running. Hope that helps.

I have this problem too. Had to throw mine away. Loved it otherwise especially because I have arthritis.

It doesn't roll well on rough surfaces with the gas bottle installed because of small casters. If you have to roll it a sizeable distance on a bad surface, I would remove the bottle first.

Well for me it's kinda annoying I have thick frames though , they cause them to start to fall off , but I ran 3 miles with them and just had to touch my ears like twice to adjust while running. Hope that helps

Provided you keep to a canter you should be ok. Galloping will be a problem, especially in the last 100m in the straight. Best to cut back to a trot then.

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

Depending on the width of your hand you coyld cut the grip on the open side allowing it to slide all the way on. I definitely recommend against riding with the grip half way on, if something happens and you reach for that grip in a hurry and it folds down you could get seriously injured. Ie; broken teeth cheek bone jaw or even put you over the bars which can break your collar bone back or neck. DONT DO IT

Its great for running but use the side straps so it doesnt bounce. It can be hard to breathe when using all 50 lbs.

My dog couldn't reach anything, but I also bought the collar an inch too long for her. It hits them near the shoulders, so it's quite difficult for them to move the head downward. I wouldn't think the elbows would be within reach, but some dogs are creative and flexible!

Is it hard to pull the bottle off because the no spill cap is creating resistance? I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.
