The Kangaroo Water Bottle Carries Athlete's Essentials While Exercising
Meghan Young — November 23, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Kangaroo Water Bottle addresses a common issues for runners, joggers, cyclists and other athletes: what are they supposed to do with their essentials? While many workout gear now features hidden pockets to better store such items, they are often taken up by MP3 players. The Kangaroo Water Bottle offers a better solution while also keeping people hydrated.
Created by Contigo, the Kangaroo Water Bottle has a front pouch (like the animal it was named after) that conveniently seals away items such as money, keys and even bank cards. Easily used with one hand, the flip-up compartment is slim enough to not make the bottle any more bulkier than it needs to be. It also carries 24 ounces of liquid and has an autoseal.
