I have finally found a great Hydrobag to carry my water bottle. I hate carrying a purse, I have neck, shoulder and back issues and purses actually exacerbate the pain. So l have been looking, and buying, bags for some time that do not quite work out. They don't hold all the things I need daily, they are not large enough for my water bootle, or they do not offer a spot for the handle. Finally I have found a bag that does it all (so far) and it still comfortable to wear cross body (or not). I found my bag in a quirky little store in town and I am so happy I popped it. Now I want to get one for all the women in my family.
