Arca Gear 40 oz Hydro Carrier - Insulated Water Bottle Sling w/Carry Handle, Shoulder Strap, Wallet and Two Pouches - The Perfect Flask Accessory

When I first ordered my Arca carrier I was thinking I would use it mostly for hiking... well I will, BUT honestly I will be using this for every day use!!! As a woman that doesn't carry a purse, this is perfect for me!!! I always carry a water bottle with me, but now I can have my hands free and also have a place to put my keys, money/credit cards, and my phone with no worries! I also do a lot of kayaking, so it will come with me then too since it's has the waterproof pocket, and I can hook the strap in on my kayak. This would be great for someone going to a festival, amusement park, outdoor concerts, urban hiking, anywhere!!! This product is of the highest quality at a great price and I look forward to using it for years to come!

First off, this does not work with all 40 oz bottles. I have a 40oz TAL bottle and it just would not fit. Shopped around on Amazon and took quite awhile to find a 40 oz bottle that would (Simple Modern Summit series). Problem was, not a lot of the bottle manufacturers list the dimensions. Suffice it to say that you should double check what you have before purchasing this. Otherwise, this seems to be made with high quality materials. The pouch is roomy enough to hold my phone, charger, battery, USB cable and earbuds and a pack of mints. If I need more room, the molle style straps will hold another pouch I use. I plan to use this when we take day trips/hikes in Arizona, so having water is a must. I will update on its durability once used some more.Edit 1: When a water bottle is inside, the wallet/pouch does not hold as much. In fact, the pouch is so tight that even the little that you can get in is too hard to remove. Maybe it'll stretch over time?

I read a lot of reviews, which seemed silly since these bags all seem similar. BUT, this one has a slip pocket on the outside of the zipper pocket that fits my Note 9 phone so I don't have to fight the zipper to get to it easily. The bag is perfect EXCEPT for the fact that my Swig Savvy 40 oz bottle will NOT go in it, no matter how hard I fight it. I can't say if this bag is too small or their bottle is too big but that means it won't universally fit. Now I have to buy another bag or another bottle!!! I don't know which since they both run in the $15-$30 range and whichever I buy still might not fit.One reviewer of the bottle says it is 3.5" and another says 3 5/8", which is 3.5625. I don't have anything to measure that precisely so I have to go by that. The listing for this bag says it will fit up to 3.58", so it SHOULD fit. But it doesn't so I have a bag I can't use.

I love this bag!! Make things very easy to carry my 40oz takeya. Also makes the bottle feel lightweight.Altho, idk if its gonna fit with the guard sleeve I purchased for the bottle when it's not in use with the bag..It contains a snug fit without the guardsleeve.UPDATE: Will not fit with a sleeve.Which is a bummer for me, cuz i travel alot, and I'd like to take my bottle out of the bag without worrying, about it getting scratched up if it falls around at my hotel. I love the bag idea for long hikes or walks, even just for traveling, since it will not fit in my car cup holders..(With the bottleguard, hot water needs to be applied in-order to loosen the product from around the bottle, then you gotta wiggle it around until it comes off.. lol, that's too much work to continuously do!)Well, i won't make it a bigger deal than is, they are both great items, and work amazingly! Just not together.I'll simply just purchase another bottle or,just manage with repeating the work of removals, for my area of comfort..But i thought I would note this, just incase anyone was thinking the same thing.

Fits my Galaxy S9 with a thick case and still has plenty of room for additional cards, headphones, and keys! However, It was too tall for my 1000ml / 32oz CamelBak chute. Not easy to fold it down every time. That bottle comes with a handle near the mouth and that too causes an issue. I don't think it's a good bottle for this carrier, but I love this carrier! Perfect for the Gym, Park, and outdoor events. So I'm looking for a new bottle to fit in it!

I love my 40 oz thermos, however it has been so hard to carry and use (no handle); when I opened the box and pushed the thermos into the carrier....YEAH!!! It Fit beautifully....Now I can take my water with me whenever I walk without wondering how am i going to carry it.....Thank you Arca Gear......Carolann in SE Florida

Did not fit my Yeti. Looked at my smaller one and noticed it ripped on the side, so I ripped this one to allow my bottle in it. Then sewed them both up, but left a slot. Now my Yeti fits fine. This product is well made and sturdy. It held my bottle and phone, license, cards, a bit of change and hairbands. Kept my phone dry in sunshowers. Overall I really like it.

I don't often write reviews however this one deserves 5 stars. It is very well made, great attention to detail, actually fits my 40 oz. Thermoflask (tight but it fits) and has pockets and straps and padding at the shoulder for comfort - perfect for Arizona summers so you can carry plenty of water and everything else you may need some fun in the sun. Highly recommend.
