Amphipodhydration-Packs

I had a previous similar version of this belt that I used for many years until the elastic finally wore out to the point that it was unusable. That belt had a Velcro closure that was simple and easy to adjust on the run. This belt has a clip system and you have to stop to pull the strap through each clip to tighten it.Unfortunately this belt fails at 2 of its primary jobs: staying tight, and being easy to tighten on the run. I find that it slowly loosens on its own, especially when I’m running with 4 full bottles, and it is not easy to tighten.If I remember to tighten it up a little extra before I go it’s usually OK, but still a bit disappointed that it’s not a better design. I like everything else about it. The pack is just the right size, and the new bottle design is a big improvement of the old ones.

I had a different running belt that was not useful- pouch was too small, water bottle leaked. This product is handy- the belt is adjustable, and soft so it doesn't rub and chafe. The bottles are ok sized- a tiny bit small. They are oddly difficult to remove from their holders. They snap back in easily but take some effort to get out. The pouch is good sized- big enough for my samsung s7 and a package of energy gummies. I like that you can buy add-ons for the belt. It does ride up a little when running. I like the non spill water bottle lids as well. Overall, I'm pleased with it and would buy it again.

Beware! Belt received was not what was pictured!!!It was velcro closure, not the clips.The bottle tops were not the squeeze flow as pictured but the pull out and drink, plus they were dirty like they were used or dragged on the floor.The shipping was quick, which at least gives me time to find another belt before my race, but very unhappy with the purchase and the seller for advertising the wrong belt.

I really like the design of this hydration belt. It fits comfortably and doesn't move around when I'm running, and the bottles are easy to grab and put back, yet stay in place very securely.That said, I find that the bottles bounce around way too much whr I'm running. Perhaps the exact placement of the bottles with respect to the belt isn't quite right (though I've tried them in both the vertical and horizontal position with the same results -- and yes, it's very cool that you can turn the bottle clips 90° so the bottles are horizontal instead of vertical!). Or perhaps the bottles are just too big for a running belt. My previous Fuelbelt hydration belt had 7oz. bottles, so these are 50% larger. Next time I'll look for a belt with 3 or 4 7oz bottles instead of 2 10.5oz bottles.

Just what i need for shorter runs. Fits well, stays put. Has enough capacity for runs I don't want to use a hydration pack or longer runs when I want sports drink to supplement my pack. My older Samsung fits in the case with car keys. Haven't used the loops for full Gu's, they do hold my empties fine. Keeps my pockets from getting gooey.Unclipping the bottles takes some practice. Clipping them back in is easier and they stay put for me.Overall satisfied with this belt.

I like that you can arrange, position, and/or remove the items on the belt for a custom set up. I could fit more items in my flip belt, but hydration is needed on my long runs. Used this for the first time in a half-marathon without any problems. Took a few tries to get it adjusted how I wanted it, but it is great now.

Admin pouch works fine for smaller phones but not larger ones, so dont count on it for that if you're in that category. Bottles held up well during run and did not jostle out. Overall, awesome and I would recommend.

I love it! It's working very very well for my runs! I love the water bottles are easy to remove and reasonably easy to put back. the bottles are easy to drink out of yet they do splash out when I start running but it stops after a little bit. Otherwise, I love this and love how easy it is to use!
