Stone Glacier Hydro Holster

I don’t love it. And it breaks my heart to say so. I truly love all things stone glacier. Especially my pack. I love love love my stone glacier pack! So imagine my heartbreak when after many hours and miles I must admit that I do not love the hydro sleeve.
It is a afterthought design and doesn’t really work well with the pack.
1. It swings around and makes noise.
2. It bangs into my elbow while hiking.
3. Difficult to put a nalgine bottle back in the sleeve with one hand. Just overall not easy to access.
4. Due to the horizontal orientation of your water bottle, once half full the water sloshes around and adds to the noise of the entire thing clanking around.
5. The hydro sleeve webbing is one more thing to unbuckle and re adjust and move while converting the back to high mode. I can’t just get it set and leave it alone.
It would be much better if this had some webbing stitched on it and attached directly to your hip belt.

Stone Glacier does a great job with all they do, and this is no exception.
Picked this up for my Solo and easy access to my water bottle (tubes get caught on stuff), and was pretty satisfied with what it is.
Because it's suspended from two points rather than three, it does swing, and if you're running with a pack, it bangs the hell out of you (sometimes you need to hustle, ya know?), but otherwise it's a good add on.
Works very well for shed hunting and scouting with just a load shelf and an access bag or hydro pouch, and keeps the nalgene right where I need it--so I ultimately drink more H2O--.
There is some sloshing of the water in the nalgene, but it's not too bad because of the forward cant of the holster.
TLDR: good product, well made; can swing (ouch) and water can slosh (noisy).

Works great. I hate sucking out of a hose so having a bottle at hand and not having to take off the pack is awesome. Fits both nalgenes and smart water bottles. Easily adjustable.

I like it. Will use this season and see how it goes

It took a little adjusting the find a nice carrying position that tucked it far enough behind the hip that it does not interfere with a free hanging hand while hiking. Unfortunately the forward cant carrying position creates a significant amount of slosh and noise. Quality is good as you would expect with SG.
