Maxpedition 10" x 4" Bottle Holder

If you are looking for something to carry your 1 liter Nalgene style bottle and your phone and some other small items this may be the perfect product for you. The only down side is it does not come with a shoulder strap at all. You will have to find one on your own. It can be attached to your pack using the PALS webbing. The main thing that sets this apart from other brand bottler carriers is that it insulated. In my experience it does help maintain the temp of but it does not make a major difference.

PALS Webbing on the back. There are 5 straps. Also notice the metal clip that can be used for attaching things:


 Both sides have a plastic D-Ring for attaching the NOT INCLUDED shoulder strap:


Bottom drain to help with any spills:

Top has a 2inch wide Velcro section:

Its a snug fit for a Nalgene bottle but that is to help with insulation:

 The front pocket has a 2" elastic retention band inside:

Overall this product is OK but not great. For the price you would think you could get a shoulder strap included. But if you are looking for a small carrier for just your drink of choice and some other stuff this is one of the only options I have seen.
