Wich hydration system is the most aerodynamic to IM races? Those that put the bottles in the back of the athlete or those that put the bottles "under" the saddle (in the back of the legs alongside with the seatpost)? Need to buy one and would like to hear your experiences about it. Any study/report available to read? Please let me know wich of them do you use and why!

Thanks

Profile Aero Bottle is most aero. Behind the saddle bottles are either a zero effect or a negative, depending on where you get your info.

I like and use the JetStream aerobar water bottle, the one without the yellow sponge that always goes flying out. Have never had a problem with it.
