Can you use this for running, would the Velcro straps hold?

I have used it for light running, and the velcro straps are very strong. I don't know how well it does if you are going to do long distance or sprinting.

The Velcro straps should hold. The issue I had was that they were not long enough for the hooks side to make contact with the loops side. Had to purchase additional Velcro and connect several inches of the hooks side to make it long enough to not fall off.

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!

It will depend on the size of your arm, but I'm already barely able to secure it. At this point I have to put the arm band pretty close to my shoulder (thickest part of my arm) in order to get the velcro to stick.

Both my husband and I use these for running. Velcro holds it on your arm so you can make it as tight as you need to. And you can still use the iPhone controls to change music or answer a phone call through the plastic covering.

I think so, you should be able to shorten the straps enough. They have connectors, not velcro at the ends.

Hi there!Sure. You can. I even tried once to use it this way. Unfortunately I didn't like it. Mostly because the bag kept falling to the lowest point, just under my right arm. Which was quite annoying, because it kept hindering the swing of my arm. Maybe I should had fastened the belt a more. Regardless of that, that bag is really discrete and slim. Unless you run with a really tight shirt, you can place the bag under it, and no one will know you are using this pack. It really is that small. I usually use it this way, under my t-shirt.

This pack has hip straps and another strap going across the chest. Id imagine if its some light jogging nothing too crazy you could run with it. if its just clothes, shoes, and a water bottles that's not too much weight. I think it could be done.

The velcro so far has been good no problems there. this should last you for a while, yes it does have a strong grip. I use it with no shirt and run a mile 3 times a week no problem with it sliding. Its more confortable when you have short it does its job, i wont be replacing it any time soon. If you are not picky this will work for you.

Yes. It is fully adjustable with velcro straps. I wouldn't think it would be a problem at all.

Yes! I actually bought these for that purpose. I wanted something to keep my camera and my cell phone dry and sweat free when I ran the Princess 1/2 Marathon in Disneyworld this past February. My running gear had pockets but I was worried about them getting sweaty so I purchased the bags and they worked great!

SLMHP, I use mine for very active zumba, Yoga, aerobics and never have a problem. Since it is fully adjustable for tightness and support, I say that Yes you could use this to support when running. Probably may have to adjust the tightness once or twice during the run depending on distance.

Yes, that would be no problem. The straps will extend quite long amd can be tightened or loosened as needed.

Yes. You just wrap it around to the desired tightness/support and attach it closed with the velcro. Its been a total life save while i have been moving :)

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

Good morning, absolutely-the velcro is a very good grade (quality). Honestly, is so good that I often re-adjust after strapping on my arm because the velcro secures it so tight that you will not have to worry about it sliding down. Once velcro is fastened your good for entire workout (no velcro interruptions).

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!

Hi James B! Yes....You should be just fine. There's plenty of velcro left after I put it on. And Im not a small guy. It's a great armband. This is,my second one. Enjoy brother.
