Seeking Advice: Equipment / Staying Hydrated.

I'm in the initial stages of developing this thing and am in dire need of some honest feedback from potential end customers before I commit to spending money developing it.

I went snowboarding for the first time earlier this month and loved it. As a first-timer I didn't really know what I should bring a carrying water wasn't something that even crossed my mind.

During the second day I got sick of paying €6 every time I wanted a refresher. I came up with an idea for a crossbody sling bag for carrying your water. Realised it could be good for your ski-pass, phone, wallet, keys and ear-bud case too. It would be adjustable via a strap on the back.

I think the idea is a practical solution but I'm not confident that this has a market and really want thoughts from people who snowboard regularly - what their solutions are and if they know of or use any alternatives. OR If they would be interested in something like that.

I would be super grateful for any feedback.

Help: Running Equipment / Packs

I'm in the initial stages of developing a running pack and am in dire need of some honest feedback from potential end customers before I commit to spending money developing it. I'm not a runner and the idea came to me when I was snowboarding last month but think it could be well-served by runners.

Having done some research it seems that most of the options on the market are like vests that either hold water bottles or carry water, and have extra pockets for storage. This seems like a practical solution. My idea was for a cross body, sling-like bag that would have a pocket for your earbuds case, phone, wallet, a hanging clip for your keys and of course, space of a water bottle. It would be adjustable via a strap on the back.

I think the idea is a practical solution but I'm not confident it would outcompete the vests that seem to be the dominant method for carrying your stuff on a run.

Not being a runner myself i'm unsure on how this would be viewed by runners and would be keenly grateful for feedback.
