This thing is heavy for a light weight setup, but you can clip it to shoulder strap D-ring with a small carabiner if you want. I mostly use it around the house on a 32oz nalgene to hold my iced tea. Nice grip though. You can lock in the open position or lock it in the closed position and so far it hasn't leaked.

I love this handle because I can carry it anywhere and it does not leak. The one thing to remember is after locking shut take a last sip to get out any remaining. Then nothing leaks out.
Works great! As descirbed.

I do not like that the o-ring falls out of place alot.I use it because I own it, although I will not buy another untill they do some much needed improvements (cut the weight and bulk). It is very durable, I have dropped mine lots of times.
not sold on the new improved design

I currently own an older style and love it. I purchased the new and improved one. Unfortunatly I'm returning it because it leaks when turned upside down. Lets hope this is just a damaged product and not a sign of poor craftsmanship.

I love it, so easy to use. Drink it with one hand. One bad thing is that people try to figure out how to use it and touch the lid with their fingers and it's kinda gross. But most people can't figure it out and either lock it on themselves, don't believe that they've openned it, or will spill all over themselves when they drink. It's amusing
