Abstract: An insulator for use with a bottle includes a sleeve defined by a sleeve panel forming a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom end to a top end, the top end having an opening, wherein the bottle is retainable within an interior space defined by the sleeve panel.

Abstract: A compression sleeve and flexible bottle combine to serve as a fluid carrier such as for water or sports beverages. The flexible bottle has an interior volume for holding the fluid, the flexible bottle being readily collapsible to conform the interior volume of the flexible bottle to a volume of the fluid held within the flexible bottle, with a compression sleeve surrounding the flexible bottle. A pull-cord is attached to the compression sleeve and is moveable from a first position in which the pull-cord is retracted to a second position in which the pull-cord is extended, in which moving the pull-cord from the first position to the second position causes a contraction of the compression sleeve and a corresponding contraction of the flexible bottle.

Abstract: A bottle and accessories carrier generally includes a bottle carrier with preferable accessory storage. One version includes a holster portion for retaining at least one bottle or container; straps or other means attaching the holster portion onto a user's body or other article; a preferably flattened bottle; and an accessory storage area for carrying items. A strategically placed spacer or padding layer improves breathability and reduces bounce, providing a more comfortable carrier.
