This is such a great design! Not only does it have a pocket that holds your water bottle, there’s also another pocket that holds a phone. Now you can keep your most essential summer sightseeing items right with you and hands free.
The strap on this water bottle carrier is nice and wide to be comfortable on your shoulder. Because who wants to deal with a strap digging into their shoulder? The water bottle pocket has a drawstring closure that keeps your bottle from slipping out but it also easy to open and close. The phone pocket has a zipper for a more secure closure. With all of these handy features, this bag is sure to become your go-to water bottle carrier for whenever you travel.
