Nathan Hipster Running Belt – Waist Pack Bounce Free and Lightweight. Runners Fanny Pack. Men and Women. iPhone / Samsung / Galaxy / Android and more.

Seams came apart after wearing two or three times, not with heavy use, have not even washed it once.It also is not reversible with the design because there is information printed on the inside. So to compare, I have another similar product, and I can wear it inside out with the pockets facing inside, and there are no markings, logos, or info printed, so it looks fine. This is not an option with this product. But the biggest problem is the coming apart at the seams. This pretty much makes it useless, since the phone will just fall through the holes. See pictures taken after only wearing two and three times. The good things about it, the color looks like the picture, and the product pictures are generally accurate. The sizing is also accurate. I certainly would not buy this again, or even want a replacement product because it is not made well, and I believe a replacement will only have a matter of time before it falls apart.

I don’t usually write reviews unless the product is outstanding. This running belt has been the only running belt that has worked for me and I have tried at least most major brands (under Armour, Nike, Lululemon, Flip Belt, etc).For context, I am 5’2”, weight 120 lbs and run an average of 20+ miles per week. My run today wearing this belt was perfect, it was raining, I carry whistle, phone, ID and one gel and it was a 12 mile run. The best stayed in place the entire time. No chafing. No readjusting. Easy access, no zipper. LOVE the individual compartments. I bought the perfect size and perhaps that’s why it works so well, I wear an XS. I wear it just above my hips which is my idear way to wear since I do not want any additional tightness or weight on my hips while doing a long run. I LOVE it.

I will start off by stating, I purchased this belt for a different reason than many. I don't need it to run (if I ever do run w/the belt I'll update my review). I just needed something to keep my wireless earbud case on me at all times and my IPhone 11 when I'm walking, mowing the lawn, etc. (my bluetooth range on my headset just doesn't go that far from the house). This belt is fantastic and more than I could have asked forPROs:-really comfortable - the fabric is soft and stretchy so it's easy to pull on and feels great against your skin-fabric is substantial enough that you don't think your things are going to go flying out of the case. My Iphone 11 feels very secure (but as mentioned, I'm not running0-you can fit ALOT of things in there : I have the aforementioned Iphone11 and wireless earbud case and there is plenty of real estate for more things-Here's the best part, once your things are anchored against your body, you don't feel a thing. Everything feels perfectly weightless, secure with no shifting on the body. You forget your Iphone is on you.I have an IPhone armband case and a case with a clip on belt. Functionally they both work great - they stay on BUT I can feel the Iphone on my arms at all times (and the velcro seems to keep wanting to unattach) and it's difficult to access and as for the clip on, it always drags on my waistline and pulls the pants downwards so I'm hiking them up while trying to mow the lawn (which means I have to release the trigger on my electric lawnmower and restart). Not terrible but not the best. This belt has none of these issues - stays on, doesn't pull on any part of my clothing and everything is so easy to access.As for color, I ended up ordering this aqua because it was 1/2 the price of the others (I would normally order a black or dark charcoal) and LOVE it. I thought I might regret it but it turned out to be a great decision. The color seems to completely disappear underneath my tshirt (I'm wearing a light colored one today) and I think if I had ordered the black, the color would have shown up more underneath my tshirt.Really nicely designed product with superior fabric. And maybe others are more organized but I've got one of those wireless earbuds WITHOUT in ear detection and with those touch sensitive buttons (I miss physical buttons) and unless I've got the case on me, I can't slip the earbud in my pocket as it'll turn itself back on. This has been a nice solution as the earbuds go in and out of my ears at least 20 times a day and I was always trying to find the case - now I just slip the case out of this Nathan belt.

NOTE: I wrote this review for the WRONG product. I meant to review it for the Nathan Zipster (not the Hipster. Also, I have an iPhone SE 2020 version with a silicone case and it works great. The Nathan Zipster is great for smaller phones, but I've read that it isn't great for larger phones. But other than that, the rest of the review still stands for the Nathan Zipster (not Hipster, I don't like the Hipster!)I have been running for 30 years. Boston marathon qualifier. I run long periods of time, maybe 2-3 hours at a time for a long run so I need my Airpods and music/podcast since I run solo 95% of the time.Started with SpiBelt, Moved to Flipbelt, then Nathan ZipsterI originally ran with the Spi-belt. It bounced too much for me, but was generally acceptable. I switched to the flipbelt and it was okay, but during a tempo run the phone slipped out and cracked! So then I got the Flipbelt with a zipper and that was my go-to running belt for about 5 years. I found the Nathan belt as a replacement on a trip from a local running shop (because I left my flip belt).I love the feel of the Nathan belt so much more than the flip belt. And it has 2 zippers, one in front and back, so it's perfect for storing phone in front, and gels or Airpod case (because sometimes my buds die and I can recharge them while I get a mile in then pop them back in my ear).Here is the thing I want to say about the fit: I suggest trying to run with this around your waist, not hips. I intentionally have gone for a much smaller size because I like the belt to fit right at my waist under my shirt. The benefit of this is that if you are doing a faster tempo run, it is really annoying to have some pressure on the hips because the belt naturally starts riding up and you are always trying to push it back down. Plus, when the belt is on your hips it seems to disrupt the natural flow of running. Obviously running without anything on one's waist is ideal, but if you want/need to listen to tunes/podcast/news, I think the Nathan Zipster paired with Airpod Pros is about as good a solution as I have found. Best of luck!

Excellent to store my stuff when running. I need my Samsung s7, inhaler and car key, sometimes even my bank card. nothing feels loose and all still intact after 3 miles. My only issue is it does ride up towards my tummy after a mile or so, but maybe should have got smaller size.

I hate carry stuff in my hands when I run. And I hate stuff that flaps around. Hence, something that keeps what I want, where I need it, and stops it bouncing, is perfect.An easy five stars.

Unfortunately keeps riding up off my hips and just hangs around my waist, meaning that I end up carrying it for must of my run. Have tried wearing with different fabrics to no avail. Will be looking to return it.

The stitching has become undone after one use, which makes taking keys out of that pocket particularly annoying. The belt mostly stays put, even more so when you start sweating it out like mad. It's probably one of the best belts to hold your phone and stuff while running, even though I do have to pull it down every kilometre or so, which is also mildly annoying but not as bad as other belts. Shame about the stitching, may just have been a one-off and I got unlucky.

good but the pockets are different to the last belt i got of the same make there is no small hole now they are all the same size which means I am going to have to sew them by hand to make a smaller pocket (Like my other one) for things like money, cards and keys.
