Rec your handheld water bottle

[jchokie79]

I'm four weeks out from my first Half and trying to figure out all the little details.  I've been doing my longer runs with a regular plastic water bottle and refilling on the trail.  For the Half I'd like to get a handheld water bottle.  I have a Nathan's small handheld but need a bigger bottle size.  My gripe with the Nathan's that I have is that half the water shoots out during my run.  I've tried hydration belts but it's not for me.  So any other handheld recommendations?  

Also I've been running with a black Nike dryfit hat and it's soaked by the time I'm done.  Should I switch to a visor?  I like that it holds back my hair and does not move during the run unlike the headbands I have.  My only concern with my current hat is that it's trapping heat on my head.  

TIA!

Ultimate direction handheld water bottle. It doesn't leak! I have the fastdraw extreme.

I love this one! I have the 12 and 20 oz though I will say I prefer both without the thermal cover on them.

I have the 12 oz of this one, too, and like it. It doesn't leak as long as I am careful to make sure the lid is screwed on correctly. every now and then the thermal cover gets caught in the lid so I have to watch out for that (or take it off)!
