I have one and mostly like it. Off road, as described.
I would rather light my hair on fire than use it for a road ride.
That's where my waist pack comes from. My MTB days. It holds 2 bottles and can hold quite a bit in the bag.
I'm not a "roadie". I ride a vintage Raleigh 10 speed for exercise and fun rides. It'll work for my needs I guess.
No spending any money on bottle cage mounts and bottle holders.
I have a range of motion issue with my right shoulder so technically I can only use the left side when riding.
After thinking about it, A hydration pack may be the best solution for my situation.
