Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

water bottle belt

Anyone have any recommendations for a bottle belt? Would like to ditch my backpack for spring but would still like to carry some water. I think neoprene is the way to go but suggestions appreciated. God I love buying unnecessary gear!!

I think I might keep an eye on this thread. Saw someone skiing with one a couple of weeks ago during the warm spell and though "what a brilliant idea"....

This is one that I have seen people wearing

I've seen it up close in gooutdoors and it seems a decent bit of kit. Bit too fanny packish for me

Water bottle belt.......Maybe there would be an attachment for your mobile phone as well? And maybe it comes with a medalion??

don't do it, it's not worth selling your self respect for a drop of H2o, just shove the bottle (refilled at the tap of course) in your pocket!

I've seen quite a few super lightweight tourers with something similar. Getting the bottle out of the backpack all the time is a pain and camelbaks freeze up (even with insulated tubes).

This might work well under a jacket (tube won't freeze) .....

Are you pleased to see me or is that just a water bottle in your pocket... Shocked

Personally (and of course everyone's different), but I can't stand having anything larger than a mobile phone in a pocket. Which, owing to my dislike of skiing with a backpack, means I travel rather light on the slopes.

An alternative to something that carries a bottle must surely be to carry a couple of those collapsable drinks in little foil packs that deflate as they are consumed in your pockets.

Or look, I've just done a google search for something like this and you can get a refillable system too http://casanovasadventures.com/catalog/water/p314.htm

When you read further the holder on that one slides onto an existing belt or maybe even a backpack strap and it has a neoprene cover to protect it from freezing.
