Will These Water Bottle Gloves Really Make It Easier To Drink While Running?

It’s often tricky, as a runner, to rehydrate without lowering your heart rate. But will Salomon’s new Sense Hydro S-Lab gloves—which strap a water bottle to each hand for easy access—make it easier or downright impossible?

The set won’t be available until September, but it looks like they use a pair of soft plastic bottles so they can be folded up and reduced in size as they’re drained. Which is a lot easier than trying to run with a pair of empty rigid plastic bottles strapped to your hands. The design also lets you squeeze every last drop of moisture out of the bottles using just a single hand. In fact, the only obvious disadvantage is that the heat from your palms is bound to leave you sipping luke warm water, which might not be that refreshing after all.
