Running Belt with Water Bottles | Running Hydration Belt has Water Resistant Waist Pack to Fit iPhone, Samsung, Android, etc | Adjustable Belt | 10oz Bottles | Attach Race Number | Hiking & Cycling

I’m 5’4, 145 and do Crossfit and half marathons religiously. I wanted an option to make my twice weekly long runs in Texas tolerable and unfortunately this just wasn’t it. Fully tightened, the belt slid down my hips two feet into the fist run. I ended up wearing it across my chest so it fit under one arm and surprisingly it wasn’t bad but given it’s 110 right now, I was desperate. The water bottles leaked some but not bad. This belt might work for someone with more butt to hold it up, I just didn’t have it. I’ll likely bite the bullet and grab a Nathan’s hydration vest.

I have never purchased a running belt before but stared at dozens of reviews before I purchased this one which I got for trail running in AZ. The belt appeared to be great quality except the bottles which are pretty flimsy. I like how it felt on and had plenty of room for my iPhone 8+. I really liked the hole for the headphones too! The belt was great until I actually got going. I tightened it up as snugly as possible but once I just began jogging, the belt bounced around like crazy. I believe this is due to the elastic straps around the waist. And although the bottles fit nicely in their pouches, they were difficult to get in and out without me totally stopping. This would be a problem since my plan is to do a timed trail run. I plan on returning this product and searching for something that does not have elastic and holds larger bottles.

I have a 32 waist and it barely gets small enough so it doesn't ride up or bounce around too bad once you get some sweat on it. Before it's sweaty, however, it flies all over the place. It is much to large to wear around my stomach/mid torso even on the smallest setting. Going to get a vest-style instead. Seems to be of nice quality, however. I could hold my phone, car key, and one block gel pack and still be able to remove my phone easily.

Some background: Intermediate runner, male 6’1” 190lb, lives in South US (think hot and humid). I got this running belt because of the bib holder. If you like to save your bibs, this works well. Bib holder is secure. The belt has 2 - 10 oz bottles which can easily take me through a 1/2 marathon. I use this for halves mostly, for longer runs there is barley enough room in the pouch for fuel and not enough liquid storage. The pouch is good for 1 granola bar and 2 packs of energy jelly beans, but that is it. Don’t try to carry fuel and a phone in this thing. I have run about six halves and 1 marathon with this belt and it has held up well. After long runs I do have to tighten it a slight bit. I don’t know if it is running lose, my change in body, or if the fabric is giving with wear; time will tell. I don’t find it annoying because it is easy to adjust. It has never fallen. I prefer to wear it in the front. It does not jiggle or rub. I would recommend this for a beginner to get started and then figure out what they want from there. I am looking for something that can take me further, but for my fun runs and 1/2 this is the belt I will use.

Very lightweight. I was skeptical at first, but after first use I was surprised to find out it was exactly what I needed. It was just as described. My iPhone 6 Plus fit perfectly in the pocket with the case on. Definitely would recommend it!

Will keep it brief, the bottles are of the 10oz variety, lightweight and fit snugly in the pockets as there is a small elastic band that keeps them from falling. The bottles are also spillproof as they have the locking nozzle. The elastic is very well designed and well adjustable. The pocket is decent sized and holds my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a fairly bulky case without issues. I also tried fitting 2 phones, my Note 3 and also my girlfriend's Note 5 with the mophie power case - was a very tight fit but was able to get it in.

I tried this belt out on an 8 mile run and was very pleased with it. After some minor adjustment at the beginning, the belt stayed in place with very little bounce during my entire run. I used a Nathan belt for 2 years, but found that when I upgraded my phone to a Droid Turbo 2, it no longer fit so I had to look for an alternative. My Droid Turbo 2 in an Otterbox Commuter case fit easily into the pocket along with a package of Clif Shot Blocks. I did have to place the bottles and pouch to the back when running. I found that if I tried to wear them to the front, that my legs made contact with the bottom of the pouch. This means the bib holders will be unusable to me as races require bibs to be worn to the front.I liked that the bottles could be secured with the bungee strap. It will be nice to know that the bottles are secure even when adjusting the belt before and after runs. When running, I left the straps off and had no issues with bottle movement. They stayed secure even without the strap. I carry pepper spray during my runs and found that the small elastic loop next to the water bottle was the perfect size to hold my pepper spray bottle. It's also worth noting that Nathan 10 oz bottles will fit this belt although they are a little more snug than the bottles that come with it. (wider bottom)I do have some recommendations for improvement. I would recommend moving the zipper a little closer to the top of the pouch instead of the middle. When I opened the pouch mid run for my shot blocks, I was concerned that my phone might slip out. I think this would less of a concern if the zipper was higher. I would also recommend adding a key cord for the same reason. With the zipper in the middle, I would worry about my keys slipping out anytime I had it open. My last suggestion would be to add a gear bungee. Something you could use to secure a pair of gloves, sleeves, etc.

I found out one week before the Chicago Marathon that Camelbak hydration packs are not allowed - I bought this product in a panic! I only had 1 test run to try it before going 26.2 miles. With bottles in back it bounces around too much, but with bottles in front it stayed right where I placed it. No bounce, no slippage (in 2 hours of steady rain) no chafing; bottles fit snug in the pockets. 20 ounces (total) is not a lot but I just needed it for my electrolyte/calories mix - I didn't want to carry a lot of weight. Bonus: the middle pouch accommodated 3 gels and my iPhone 7 Plus so friends could track my run real time. Solid product - I'm a fan.
