Hand held water bottle

I'm looking for a hand held water bottle, preferably one that's 12 or more ounces. Do you have a favorite?  I'd love to hear your thoughts before buying one.

 

Thanks!

Stephanie

    I like my ultimate direction bottle.

    Feels comfortable, doesn't leak and stays put for me.

    i like the water bottles from rei.  not sure they're the cheapest, but i tend to like to pay a little more and not have to replace things as often.

    However I noticed they have a water bottle / phone combo that has me curious.

    I made my own by taking a length of bike tube, tying it into a loop, and tying one end of it around the bottle.  Kind of hard to describe, but I think the exact setup is personal.  The main thing is, it was confortable but didn't slip.  And cheap enough I didn't mind tossing the whole thing part way through my marathon.  The water bottle was a promotional bike water bottle from a vendor at the expo.

    Thanks everyone!  While on vacation in a big city I went to several stores and tried just about every water bottle.  In the end, I decided I wanted an insulated bottle because I hate carrying cold things in my hand.  That brought my choices to the Ultimate Directions Fast Draw Extreme and the camelbak quickdraw.  I choose the camelbak simply because of the valve on the UD Fast Draw is meant to be opened by pulling with your teeth (something I try not to do).  It was a tad bit more comfortable, but I've carried the camelbak bottle on 2 10 mile runs and really enjoyed having it.
