Better than a hydration belt!
919410
While training for my last few distance running races, I used a hydration belt around my waist that had a single bottle in the back and it was not comfortable to run with at all. I didn't want to spend $50 on a better belt, so I tried this handheld bottle instead. It is great, and 12oz is enough to get me through a 12 mile run. Its comfortable in my hand and not noticeably heavy - I'd highly recommend it! There is also a 10.5oz size (and larger sizes) depending on how much liquid you want.

So far, this is my favorite belt when I need a 2-bottle belt for my long runs.  I found some things I really liked about this, and some not so much. Here is a rundown of my pros and cons:

Pros:
1)  I got the bright pink one, and that belt does fit my Samsung Galaxy S5!!!  :)
2)  8 oz. bottles are a nice size, and not big enough to be uncomfortable.
3)  I like that these are squeeze bottles rather than the type you actually have to pop up to open.
4)  Belt has grippy dots inside to keep from slipping on you.
5)  Buckle is solid, and whole belt feels high quality and well-made.
6)  Belt does not bounce on me.
7)  Bib holders are a nice addition.
8)  Wicks sweat and gets soaked on long runs, but contents inside stay dry! (I've never had my phone get sweaty)

Cons:
1)  Sometimes bottles are hard to squeeze and get water out of. I have to squeeze very hard using both hands sometimes. I think this is due to the bottles being a very thick plastic, and not as flexible as other brand bottles.
2)  The belt does occasionally slip up on me if I am wearing a shirt that has a smoother/silkier thread texture.
3)  If the two small loop-like things near the buckle are supposed to be gel holders they could be just a tad bigger. I found it very hard to get my gels in. That being said, they did not fall out, though.
4)  Add more gel loops!!!  (I bought this for running my marathons)

All in all, I do like this belt, and hope to see an improved version in the future.

Great exercise belt made from lightweight neoprene (feels like a wet suit). I ordered this belt for my husband since he always has car keys and headphones, along with his cell phone when we go to the gym or hiking. It is well constructed and comfortable to wear. It has some rubbery nubs behind the bottle holders that prevent it from slipping, which is an extra nice feature (my other belt the water bottles are always falling out when I get moving too quickly). The straps that hold the bottles in pace are strong and hold them securely, but still make it easy to remove and replace them while on the move.

One of the nice things about this belt is that it fits on larger waist sizes. My husband wears a 36 pant and often times the other belts on the market are too small to be comfortable. This one is quite comfortable and has elastic which allows for some stretch. It has sturdy construction and even the clip to secure it seems very durable. The pocket is large enough to hold an average sized cell phone (in its case), keys, wallet and even doggie clean-up bags (a must if out with your pups). Even with items in the pocket it doesnt creep up around your waist and stays securing in place. It even has a small hole to feed your headphones through the pocket and not have to leave the pocket unzipped.

The one thing that I wasn't crazy about is the size of the water bottles. They are smaller than they appear in the photos and only hold a small amount of water (almost like a small flask). It is sufficient for shorter hikes or bike rides, but not if you get really thirsty during exercise or it is excessively hot. If you need more water you will need to make sure that you have a place for additional larger sized bottles.

I purchased this running belt because I needed something that fit water and had a pouch big enough to fit my phone with a case on it because the case is hard to take off. The zipper pouch fit my phone (iPhone 6s with an OtterBox defender case on it) and still has room to fit keys and other little things that one might need to carry when hiking or running. I haven't quite figured out what the outside pockets could be used for but they might come in handy in the future. It came with two 10-oz water bottles and from what I can tell water doesn't leak out of the cap. It is comfortable to wear and fits nicely on the back or on the stomach and doesn't get in the way of my arms in either position.

I really love the idea of this belt. I usually run several times a week. I've been running for 12+ years and I've never listened to music while running or even carried my phone with me because I didn't want to wear a fanny pack or an armband.

I like the waterproof zipper and the fact that you can check your phone through the window on the bag. It is possible to use the phone through the window, but it's a little tough. I pretty much just check the time and whether I missed any calls.

And I'm thrilled that there will be no tan lines from an armband!!

I wear my hydration belt any time I run more than 5 miles and I've been able to use it 4 or 5 times in the past couple of weeks. I was worried that it might bounce around and annoy me but it stays comfortably in place. I also love the pocket up front so I can carry my ID and house key with me too. Great buy, I would definitely recommend it!

Light, comfortable, pockets for gels/phone/etc.  After trying a couple different hydration belts, I had to try the vest and it was a great choice.  Comfortable, light, and holds enough water for longer runs.  I haven't done over 15 miles with it yet, but that's probably about the duration I would use it for as it doesn't have an additional bladder.  Great product for what it's designed for!

So far I really like the belt. I'm in Florida and training for my first half-marathon. It's too hot to run long distances without water, but carrying a water bottle on long runs was just not working. The two bottles on the belt is perfect for getting me through to the end of my runs. The pouch holds my phone (no longer have to wear an arm band - yay!), ID/credit cards (just in case) and my key fob without being heavy or bulky.  I guess what I'm saying is that this belt is really working for me. I'm really happy that I bought it (as a matter of fact, my son also just bought one).  Thanks for making a great product!

Purchased this belt as an alternative to the arm bands that I had been wearing.  The arm bands that I had used running drove me nuts, slipping around my arm, or having to make it so tight that it cut off circulation.  Plus it always seemed like it was difficult to see the screen of my iphone, and even more so to work it.  This belt solved all of those problems and I hardly know it is there when running. Combined the belt with a set of bluetooth headphones and I am now running free of cords and hassle.  Love it!

I had been looking for an alternative to an arm band or a bulky waist belt for running for a little while. This belt stays in place while running without adding bulk to your stomach. I carry my iPhone and keys with a lot of room to spare. I'll definitely be buying another!

I love this belt! It is the only one that I wear when running. It holds even the water bottle that you can get with it and NOTHING twists around. Recently I used it for my marathon in berlin and let's just say I was not bothered by it - it held everything I needed. I even use it during travel like walking around a city and tuck my IDs and hotel
Key card and money and not worry about a pick pocket.
So I got a second cause I make mine smell funky from my sweat

This hydration belt is fantastic especially for the price. It comes with the belt and (2) water bottles that fit in the sides.

The belt is very roomy and extremely comfortable. This belt is also super easy to adjust. I have had some hydration belts in the past and they would get uncomfortable after about 30 minutes and this one did not. If they were comfortable they did not have the space this one has. My favorite thing about this belt is all the room, you can carry everything you NEED plus more.

If you seem to be in the look out for a high quality hydration belt don't pass this one up.

I've had this belt for over a year now and it is my go to for hydration while on my long runs, though I am thinking of upgrading to a belt with more bottles.  It provides everything I need, water, a place to hold my keys and my fuel (GU) while on the go.  The bottles pull in and out easily and the belt has held up through multiple races and has gone through the washing machine multiple times.  Great way to upgrade your hydration and fuel game.

Love the velcro belt, so easy to fit and adjust. Two 8 - oz water bottles are perfect for easy walk/jog and so easy to slip in and out of their holders yet stay secure - stretchy bands add to stability. Pouch holds my Samsung S4 snugly (with no room to spare), so I use one of the extra stretchy bands for a snack holder. Whole setup is super comfortable and wearer-friendly, and I found it to be the best price for these features!

Great hydration belt for the price. Easy to put on and stays in place while running. Bottles that are included do not slide when filled up

Just wore my new hydration belt for a half marathon yesterday, and I was really pleased with it. Very comfortable, stayed in place, water bottles didn't get in the way of my arm swing (I'm a walker). I have a Galaxy S5, and the fit was a bit tight - a little cumbersome wrestling it in and out of the pocket, but much preferred to wearing it on my arm or in a jacket pocket. I washed the bottles with hot, soapy water and didn't have any issues with taste/smell, as some reviews mentioned. Overall, for the price, totally worth it!

I got this belt to wear when I am out walking, jogging, and biking.  I have tried a few other similar products and this is one that I really, really like.  I got it mainly to hold my phone while I work out.  I use Bluetooth headphones, so I didn't use the opening for the headphone wire.  I have a Note Edge and it just barely fits in the pouch, but it does fit.

There are two really great things that really sold me on this belt:
  1. It is waterproof.

I sweat a lot, and I mean A LOT, when I work out.  I certainly didn't want to have my phone getting damp from all of the sweat.  After a 5-mile walk on a hot SC summer day, I was soaked.  The waistband was soaked.  The pouch and my phone were completely dry.  So now I know that if I am ever out and caught in the rain, my phone will be safe.

  2. It does not bounce or move at all when I am jogging.

I hate jogging and feeling something bouncing around behind me.  This belt was completely secure and didn't move at all.  I pretty much forgot that it was there.  That is probably the biggest issue I had with other products.  I have enough bouncing around while I jog :), so it is nice to have my phone secure in something that isn't.

Overall, this is a great, compact belt that I would recommend to others.
