I'm looking for water bottles that go round your hand, like a circle with a hole in it if you get my drift?

They're called 'Fist bottles'... and you can get them from most specialised running shops or online. Wiggle do them, that's where I got mine from.

Try the Brooks handheld.
Much better than the doughnut bottles as they have a nice thing for your hand to sit in.
Room for gels too!

have you got a link to a pic of them steepler... not quite sure what you mean

Brooks Waterboy Handheld....

They look interesting, I've not seen them before.
How much fluid do they hold, and how heavy would they be when full...anyone know?

The Brooks handheld is ideal for carrying your fluid on long runs. It holds about 1pint (600ML approx) and has a pouch for gels or even keys! The main advantage over the doughnut style bottle is that the Brooks Handheld does not require a constant hand grip - the soft thin neoprene strap holds it in place so that you don't get aching fingers and hands. Oh and by the way, it fits for both left and right handed! You can see the accessories at www.brooksrunning.co.uk You can get your local Brooks stockist to order it and it costs £10.

Is that £10 for the bottle and 'handheld'?

Hi Trinity, no its £10 all in (so you get both bits for your tenner)

Then there an article this month I thinkin runners world that says a lot of upper body injuries are caused by fist bottles! Apparently they throw your gait out as well and can cause other injuries. I bet the manufacturers of these water bottles love articles like that!
