Arca Gear 32 oz Hydro Carrier - Insulated Water Bottle Sling w/Carry Handle, Shoulder Strap, Wallet and Two Pouches - The Perfect Flask Accessory

This Arca Gear was my third water bottle holder. It perfectly fits my 26oz Yeti Rambler bottle and my phone with a large case. Originally I tried a Wild Wolf 40oz and a Fast Wilderness 40oz holder for my Yeti 36oz Rambler bottle. Both of these holders had small phone pockets too, which wouldn't take my LG phone with an Otter Box Defender case. So I gave up, and down sized my just bought at REI larger Yeti to a 26oz Rambler.This Arca holder doesn't have the extra D ring of the Fast Wilderness to instantly attach it to a back pack or whatever, although there are four button down straps to facilitate this. Nor does the Arca come with an extra small handle to carry the holder as the other two brands I returned did. But overall the Arca is better than the other two brands I tried in every other way. With the promise of water resistant zippers. The huge zip up 'phone pocket', has credit card slots built in, an inner pocket for a car key or whatever plus an outside open stretchy pocket. The Arca strap is easily the best quality of the three shoulder straps I ended up ordering, not as cheap quality as the other two brands seemed to be.Amazon allowed me to return both 40oz holders as they were NOT as described and couldn't perform as needed, with no hassle. So I have a smaller bottle now, but crucially my phone fits in this one without the pocket being at all scrunched up. Every bottle holder product has slight variations on an obvious utilitarian theme of course, but these days the size of the 'phone' pocket is surely just as important as being able to effortlessly/properly hold the size of water bottle you have. Will be using this holder very shortly on a cruise to Curacao and Aruba and I urgently needed to get something that just "works".

I highly recommend this. It is comforable to carry my water and it is comforting to know that whatever I put in the pocket is in a waterproof area. The fact that it has molle straps that can be attached to my pack is very fine. A definite plus are the straps sew on the carrier, so I can loop it through my belt is I want. This item is very well made and thought out. I can even take the shoulder strap off. My Hydroflask 32 oz is held it its holder very securely. So happy to have purchased this. I had a Coghlan"s adjustable carrier which my bottle fell out of, this is a definitely superior carrier. I can carry it and my IDs, phone, a bit of change. It has slots for credit cards or ID cards. I can put my keys in it. It has a stretchy pocket on the outside to put my phone or map in, if it is not raining. Have had the item since the end of September and have taken it on hikes. I have carried it around the house with me to remember to drink water. It stays on my shoulder and does not restrict my movement or anything I want to do. I usually have the bottle at my back spine area or on my side hip area. The padded shoulder strap is a definite plus. I really like this thing.Would give 5 stars except for fact of that after hard use a rip developed under the area where the bead adjustment is. However that only made it easier to put my bottle in and out. So I sewed it up. Still very happy with this product.

Just got this in the mail, and I can already tell it was money well spent. I walk in a 60 mile charity event each year, and have been looking for a way to cart around water without the typical backpack, fanny pack, or Camelbak. This is the perfect solution. The fact that it also holds some money and a phone or other personal items is a bonus. The strap is long enough to fit appropriately on a plus size woman, which is hard to find. And it's also adjustable in the front and back, so you can easily customize for your particular shape and comfort. Seams and stitching seem well made and sturdy. I can't wait to begin using it during my training walks.

Looks great, well made, but my Nalgene 32oz bottle didn't fit in the main compartment. To be fair, I provided this information to the company and they were very keen to get development feedback and fix the issue, and I'm sure they will. But for me, for this product, it just didn't work.

Love the black Arca I got to go with my new black Flow. Did a lot of looking before I made this decision, read a lot of reviews and asked questions. Totally happy with my purchase. Strap is perfect length for crossbody, especially on this plus size Mama! Love that I can hold iPhone, keys, lipgloss, sunglasses and a few cards in the pocket. And in spite of the fact that my 14 yr old daughter is mortified by me wearing it, I wear it every day!

I work outdoors and needed a way to carry my water hands free. After some shopping around I ordered this carrier based on the reviews. I have not been disappointed. I have a Brita 32 oz hard sided bottle and it fits perfectly! I've carried it a couple of days and water stays pretty cold for a good amount of time. If you add ice the cold time is even better. The padded area on the strap makes it comfortable on your shoulder (or neck if you wear it cross body). I also really like the pockets on the front, as I can store my phone and truck keys in them instead of my pockets. I haven't had the chance (misfortune?) to test out the waterproof claims of these pockets, but the zippers do seem to be quite sealed so I am guessing they probably are.

Exceptionally well made. Holds a 32 oz standard water bottle nicely. Also fits my 32 oz double walled aluminum beer growler. Shoulder strap is adjustable and comfortable. Very nice for hikes or walks.

If HydroFlask ever make a carrier it will be this ONE. Fits my HydroFlask 32 oz Wide Mouth perfectly. Molle connects seamlessly to my 5.11 Rush Moab 10.
