Salomon Soft Flask 250ml/8oz 28 Unisex Hydration Accessories, Comfort, High-flow Valve, and Easy to Use, Blue

Great for running when you do not want to carry a lot and only gets smaller as you drink.Also no leaks! unlike some cheaper alternatives. I've had it for almost a year and its still perfect.There is a bit of a taste of silicone? (or what ever the flask is made of I think), it doesn't bother me too much but it's still there even after many uses.

I decided to upgrade from a small hardcase bottle to one of these. I found it fiddly the first few times and initially I forgot to rinse it out so it tasted of sterilizer the first time I used it. But now I wash it in soapy water then store it in the freezer with a little bit of water in it until I want to use it again. That way I have an instant ice cube at the bottom. I find it a bit slippery to stuff in my salomon vest. It almost feels too long for the Pulse 2 cavity, but it works and is super easy to drink out of.

Leaks in pocket if the mouthpiece gets squeezed when bending over. Shame there isn't a hard cap when used for skiing. Otherwise good.

This is a very good water bladder – I think that it is worth paying the extra for – I have tried the cheaper ones but find although they work the bite valve is not as good. Remember to wash it periodically though or you might get Salomonella!

Have used in training runs as well as race day. As it only 2 hours of running I didn’t require huge amounts. I could tuck this into my running bra and access it easily. Absolutely no leakage, and easy to clean (dishwasher). Worth the price.

Great quality bottle with no leaks

I bought two different sizes to take to India with me but sadly I just cannot use them, when you drink from them you get a real rubbery sort of taste in your mouth from the mouth piece, it tastes awful. I've rinsed it through many many times to try to alleviate the taste but to no avail. It's a great space saving idea I just wish it didn't leave you with a ghastly taste in your mouth.

Fits well in evadict running vest and squishes down nicely. Bite valve is good
