I know this is not what they were thinking, but I'd say they would be very popular with the clubbing dance crowd. Wow what an amazing idea!!

I believe there are a few health authorities in the UK who are trialling the bottles as we speak. @Esktor - I do like the idea that the bottles are flush with your wrists, hence they can help to keep your body heat lower. @John – Yes indeed… the use of the bottles in hospitals, especially for those that are unable to grasp a bottle is a great idea.

I've been using a running belt for quite some time. One belt holds two small bottles and another holds four (for runs of 10+ miles). I like the concept behind this one (especially the cooling factor as my body overheats easily in anything above 65 degrees). Thanks for sharing this information.

I can suck down 750 ml in an hour. I need a Camelback type of water bottle. Their site does show a good use, however, which is while lying in bed incapacitated: http://www.swiggiesuk.com/uses.htm Nice to see such an innovative water bottle. 200 ml each is too small for me.

I guess you could always wear it over clothes, or even a sweatband for extra padding/protection. @Cobin - Good question! I asked this via their Twitter feed (@SwiggiesukEurop) and it's a firmer plastic. They've not had any issues with using this type and again, they've said a sweatband can be worn to provide extra padding when in use. Hope that helps! :) @Mark – The elastic appears to be quite thick, so I think this might be rather comfortable to wear, even for long periods.

I'd think that the mushy kind would be more comfortable. Neat, in any event. James – do you happen to know if the plastic is the hard kind of plastic or the mushy kind?
