No.1 Hydration Belt by Runtasty - Premium Running Fuel Belt w/2 BPA-Free 10 oz Water Bottles, Tilt-Up Pocket w/Touchscreen-Ready Cover - Fits All iPhones, Runners Ebook & No-Bounce Design

I like this fanny pack/exercise belt because of all its different features. The water bottles are small enough that they are not too heavy to be carrying while you’re running the zipper pocket doesn’t fit my phone but I put my reading glasses and sunglasses in there. In the back zipper, I put my Chapstick Sunscreen stick and an extra gel. There is also room for a little clip with my drivers license, debit card, and cash. There are also elastic loops that you can put gels in. Once you put the gels in they do stay put until you need them. I recently used the belt doing a half marathon. It was very comfortable because the belt itself is elastic and you can turn it around so it’s behind you . Then you can run with nothing in your hands, and my speed increased by almost a minute during the half marathon. I think this was partly because I was so comfortable and all my needs for gels and water were met without stopping at any of the water stops. I recommend this hydration belt for anyone who will be exercising two hours or more.

Excellent quality holds water bottles well, Holds phone and keeps it dry Great product and value

I've been using this belt all summer and I really like it. Note, as you read my pros and cons, I wear the belt with it clipped to the front and the phone and water bottles in back. Just my preference. Pros: It fits my large phone (iPhone 8 Plus, with case and pop socket). The water bottles are a good size. The lined water bottle pockets keep the water bottles colder than previous belts I've used. I like that you can access the phone without having to take it out from the pocket. There is room in the second pocket for small, thin items. The belt does not bounce up and down. I do wear it at my natural waist line, not my hips. Cons: I wish the belt could be sized a bit larger. I'm a heavier runner and while it fits, it is snug. My waist measurements were within the "stretches to" range. But it doesn't dig in, it is comfortable. I use a run/walk app when I run and I found to just keep the phone on when putting it in the pocket. I closed the screen the first time I used it and my phone was so hot when I was done running (for maybe an hour). Was it the plastic pocket that made it so hot? Was it just an anomaly? Not sure but since then I leave it on when I put it in the pocket and it's been fine. This is a bulkier belt but if you're looking for a belt that is going to hold items - water bottles, large phone, keys, nutrition, etc. - without everything bouncing all over the place, this is a solid belt for that!

I've used Nathan brand hydration belts for over 10 years, and decided to try something different. I was a bit skeptical about this belt because the bottles are larger and belt straps are more elastic than I'm used to. I suspected it might be bouncy with the weight of the water and my heavy phone. I was delightfully surprised that the belt stayed tight around my waist and allowed for no bouncing as I jogged. For the record, I wear hydration belts backward with the weight on my sacrum. It was comfortable as I moved, although my elbows bumped the water bottles a few times. The bottles didn't leak, and the extra elastic loop kept them securely in place. I'll update this review if my experience changes; but so far I recommend this belt and would buy it again.

I was looking for a hydration belt because I was signed up for a virtual 10 miler and new I would need to carry fluids and chews. I was looking for something with two bottles and space for carrying keys, chews, maybe for the future a place to carry my phone, credit card, etc. I wanted more than one zip pouch because I didn't want to lose things going in and out of a pouch. This belt does it all!! I ended up really needing the phone for the race because they had an ap to track the race. The phone was so conveniently in front of me and was secured so it wouldn't bounce around. I was able to put my car keys in the phone pouch too. I put the chews and the ipod in the other zip pouch. The inner zip pouch also has a convenient sleeve for ID, credit cards, etc. I almost lost my hotel key card with the other belt I have because I was going in and out of it to get my phone and it fell out. I don't that will happen with this belt. The only issue I had was it really needs to come in two sizes. I'm not that big but I could not get the belt around my hips and had to wear it around my waist. I had never run with a hydration belt before and was pleased with the way it did not bounce around while I was running the bottles are secured so that don't come out. Very nice product. Would buy again.

Update, 10/2024: After only 2 years and maybe 1K miles of running with this belt, I find that the belt is getting too stretched to stay tight around my waist. It bounces around, starts to slide down, and I am constantly having to stop and try to pull the adjustment sliders tight. (They only slide so far.) The waist strap is stitched around the tightening sliders which does not allow me to get it any tighter. It would be nice if the waist strap was not stitched around the sliders so that I could pull them tighter. I've stitched up a section of the belt to take up slack, but that hasn't helped. The rest of the hydration belt has held up well, so I really don't want to spend another $40+ for a new one. Maybe I'll try tying a knot in the belt to shorten it before my next run. Dropping from 5 to 4 stars. July 2022: I take my shepherd-husky on long runs and I can carry my iPhone 13 in the see-through pouch with my car keys behind it, and a small, collapsing water bowl in the adjacent pouch. Since I can't zip up the pouch with her water bowl in it, I can't safely carry anything else in it. It would be nice if they made a separate zippered pouch that I could purchase and add to the belt. I've been looking for a universal one, but haven't found one yet. While I like that the adjustable belt comes with a buckle, I'm starting to find that the belt is beginning to stretch out, which requires me to readjust the tightness every week. Otherwise, I like this product and will probably get it again once this one is worn out.

Over the years I have bought numerous waist style running belts, hoping one would: 1) Stay put 2) Offer comfort 3) Hold bottles and gear in place 4) Have easy bungee cord at the bottom for bib number Well, this one proved all four. I love this belt. The quality is superb and I hardly know I’m wearing it. The best part is the stretch waist that is wide enough to be comfortable. Also, I have never worn other belts right at my waistline. First of all, other belts have thinner, nylone straps that are uncomfortable when cinched enough to stay put and very unflattering. I like wearing this one lower, where I let the top of my hips carry the extra weight. It’s much more flattering and very comfortable. Once I had it sized just right, now all I do is click it in place. No adjusting, no pulling nylon straps. It’s quick and easy and the most comfortable belt I have ever worn. The bottles stay in place and I’ve never had a problem getting them out during a run. No leaking and the pull top is easy to grip with your teeth or leave it popped up during your run/walk. There’ll still be no leaking. The see through, waterproof phone pouch is long and wide enough where I didn’t have to take my Iphone 8 out its otter box to place it inside, something I dreaded doing before a run. There is enough room in the pouch behind the phone case to carry several gel packs, car key, and small pack of tissues. Plus, the price is great.

Note that I use the belt as a fanny pack not as a front pack as it is designed for. I don't enjoy front packs and find that I have to adapt front packs to my preference. I am an avid marathoner who run 5-6 days a week, 50 - 60 miles a week and use hydration packs on every run, so I am a heavy user. As I am frustrated with the quality of the Nathan belts, I am searching for an alternative. As a general statement this belt works as a fanny belt just fine, but some things are different as compared to other reviews. As a fanny pack this belt does bounce, especially when the bottles are full. As the bottles are drained, the bounce is less. There are reviews that claim the bottles fall out, I don't understand how they fall out as the manufacture has elastic cords that retain the bottles in the holder. That being said, the elastic cord is thin and I don't see it lasting a long time before it breaks. However, I ran without the elastic cords around the bottles and found that the neoprene holders worked just fine as they surround the bottle well. Also, I decided to use the Nathan insulated 20 ounce bottles instead of the ones supplied with the belt. They fit very well and keep your drink cooler. The elastic cord works on the Nathan bottles. As with other reviews, the bottles (whether the ones that are supplied or the Nathan) are difficult to extract or deposit back into the holder. I have to stop running for a few seconds to get the bottles back into the holder. It wasn't a big problem, but still not something you have to do with Nathan belts. The size of the pouch is adequate for most items you may carry. I carry a collapsible water cup as my dog runs with me a lot. It's tight but it fits. I don't find the flippable phone holder as an advantage as I wear this as a fanny pack and don't listen to music when I run. My opinion of the elastic waist strap is that it doesn't not appear to be robust enough. Using this belt as frequently as I will, I don't think it will last long. This is something that Runtasty could take advise from Nathan. Overall, I give this a 3/5 stars because it don't think it will last long. It is functional and thoughtfully designed. lets see how long it lasts.

Absolutely love this belt

Realmente vale la pena, se ajusta muy bien y efectivamente evita mucho el rebote con los botecitos llenos; lo que mas me gusto es el cuarto independiente para el celular porque ahora si no se moja con el sudor... excelente producto

I love, love, love this belt. I was looking for a bright pink belt, with a large enough cell holder for the bricks they sell these days, water bottles that aren't too big, and a decent sized zippered pouch. This belt has it all, plus the price was on point. I was a little apprehensive because of previous comments about sizing, so I wanted to put in a picture of my self wearing it. I'm 5'5", 70kg and there is more room to make it larger or smaller. From what I read they may have redesigned it. No need for an extender! Happy running 🏃‍♀️

This product is perfect for running and hiking. The front pouch can be used for your phone and the back one for snacks, keys etc. Highly recommend!

Llego 4 dias antes, me encanto!! color y medidas muy lindo.
