FlipBelt Zipper Running Belt, Waist Pack for Fitness and Running, US Company

Very soft and comfortable to prevent chafing. Plenty of capacity for gels or water. Cell phone pouch kept my phone from being doused during my first marathon. Paired with a handheld water bottle carrier and pouch for maximum storage and convenience.

Adjustable fit, can hold my phone and my water bottle. Really couldn't ask for more!

Going pandemic crazy, I needed to get out and exercise (safely.) I started doing what I call "City Hikes"... I live downtown in one of the larger oldest cities in the country, and the main streets have inclines and declines with uneven sidewalks that can be somewhat challenging for a somewhat older person. A 3+mile hilly walk in under an hour can be an ok cardio exercise. I like to carry a lot: my smartphone with the MapMyWalk app on it, which both records and reports to my headset throughout my "city hike": my varying rates of speed, the degrees of elevation, my heart rate as well as distance covered and my speed right at that moment. Being a very cautious person - I carry with me all my critical keys including my car key, a major credit card, ATM card, garage pass, Driver's License and some hidden folded cash. I also carry 2 spare paper masks, 2 pairs of nitrile plastic exam gloves and several sealed SONO hospital-grade equipment wipes. I also carry my glasses and a water bottle I can drink from, particularly in this heat. But not only is that a lot to carry but downtown in an old major metropolitan area is not always the safest place - at least not in my neighborhood. Thefts occur even during the day. After quite a bit of research, scouring Amazon's site and trying a few items, I came up with a combo of items that make carrying all this effortless and as if I weren't carrying them at all, feeling as safe as possible and able to just focus on my "hike." I put in the items listed below (except my phone) in the various pockets of the FlipBelt Level Terrain Zipper Edition https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH0CXQO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I was between sizes and found the larger one more comfortable - and though it slipped a bit, not by very much, tighter was not as comfortable. WRT my phone, Sinjimoru Phone Grip Credit Card Holder with Phone Stand ( I chose the silicone version), works perfectly on my Samsung Note 9 in an Ottebox Symmetry Case. Though the product pictures primarily show just using a couple of fingers to hold the phone - it actually stretches enough that I can put my whole hand through, holding the phone in my open hand so I can look at the phone face to see the map or whatever other info I want to at a glance while I am speed-walking, without fearing I may drop the phone, no matter how I might shake it. Now, I am female and with relatively small hands for 5'3" but there is still a lot more stretch room left for a larger hand -- but the material stays very snug around my hand, without cutting off any circulation. As an extra precaution, I use the Sinjimoru Phone Grip in combination with "SHANSHUI Phone Lanyard, Neck Strap and Wrist Tether Key Chain Holder Universal for Phone Case Anchor" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083158CBJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 using the wrist band lanyard. The Shanshui Lanyard is amazing; I can dangle the phone by the lanyard and it stays attached. (There is no adhesive in this product, yet with the right cell phone case, it seems amazingly safe.) I prefer to put the credit cards, Driver's License, cash, etc in the zippered pocket of the FlipBelt rather than in the cardholder of the Phone Grip, tho I am sure the cards and cash would be safe in the Phone Grip. I just feel it is much less likely that a thief would be able to steal the Flipbelt off me in broad Daylight than perhaps in a fly-by action - cutting the lanyard *and* pulling the phone and phone grip off my hand at the same time while running by - tho I sincerely doubt the latter could happen with any feasibility. And finally, for my water, I use FlipBelt's Water Bottles https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Water-Bottle-11-Ounce/dp/B01ESTP0J4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1F6AFSLLBJBL7&dchild=1&keywords=flipbelt+running+belt+with+water+bottle&qid=1594441055&sprefix=Water+Bottles+flipb%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-3 , either the 11 oz or 6 oz, though I prefer the 11 oz in this heat. I fill them half full with my bottled water and freeze them. When I take one out for my "city hike", I fill it up with my chilled bottled water from the fridge. The bottle fits snugly and very stably - because of the curve - in the FlipBelt pocket - easy to pull out and put back in. And in this heat, the ice helps keep me slightly cooler - but honestly, the ice is all melted and the water almost normal temperature by the end of my walk. I am soaking wet at the end from sweat; so is my Flipbelt - but everything else - in my FlipBelt or my hand - is absolutely safe and dry. And I walk with all the speed and flourish I want because I feel like I am carrying nothing the whole while... free as a bird :-) I hope this helps!

I am very happy with this running belt, it definitely is WAY more comfortable than some of the other run belts out there that kind of bounce on you. Since this is really thick, you don't feel the pressure of thin straps. I also run with an iphone promax in an otterbox case, which is big, bulky, heavy. It fits in the front or back pocket with no issue, and once again feels comfortable and no bounce. The side zip is both good and bad. I like that you can just zip this belt on vs having to step into it. But also it means you kind of lose a large side storage that typically is availble if the zip is not there. The zipper on the side has not unzipped on me during a run yet, I've used it for about 10 total 2-4 mile runs, a small sample size, but no issues. The grippers also prevent this thing from moving up or down my body. It is a more weatherproof material, so I am guessing in the summer, this could end up feeling more warm than the other flip belts, but for spring, winter and fall it seems perfect.

The flip belt is ok; not sure if it's worth the money. The zipper broke off a month later :(

I thoroughly researched running belts before buying, and I'm so glad I chose to try the FlipBelt Elite. My iPhone 12 fit in the zipper pocket and it truly did not move while running. I tested it on an 18-mile run carrying gels and other items, and I forgot I was wearing it! I have full confidence to use this for my upcoming marathon now! Before buying, I read reviews complaining about two things: phone not fitting and problems zipping it up. Now that I've tried it, I can say my iPhone did fit (with my otterbox case), it just takes a little patience because it doesn't slide in as easily as other items in the open compartments. But once it's in, it's secure and doesn't move at all while running! For the zipping issue, I put mine on already zipped. I only use the zipper to unzip when I take it off. It's much easier to get it on zipped. Totally recommend!

My wife loves this thing, she uses it for roller skating mostly but says it holds everything snug and is very comfortable. build quality is great.

Good quality

Super ceinture pour courir et glisser beaucoup d'affaires !!!! Portable, gourdes, téléphone, gels... Tout rentre et c'est super confortable

Lo mejor!

Lo utilizo para correr con una bomba de insulina. Queda protegida y no se mueve. Resulta perfecto y no hay riesgo de que se caiga.

For reference, I am 200lbs 6ft size 34 waist (Athletic built) and I ordered Medium. The chart online recommends Large but the Medium fits me slightly better without feeling overly tight. I recommend going one size smaller than the recommendation. I commute to work by means of running: 10km twice a day (20km daily). This little lightweight belt is the best invention ever! I dont wear a backpack while running, the flipbelt is enough to carry everything I need. There is enough room to add my iPhone 14, my lunch (bag of nuts), spare boxer and socks to change at work, and work keys/pass. While running the object do not bounce around whatsoever, it stays firm around my waist. I wear my belt right below my bellybutton, but it has a tendency to slip up slightly. The pockets are easy to access during the run, but the first few tries can be a learning curve. Its a perfect belt to wear for a full marathon, loads of space for over 5-8 carb gel bags and phone. You can also buy the specific bottle that is made for the belt. I actually tried with a regular commercial Aquafina bottle and it kept slipping out. All in all, a great addition for any types of runners out there! Much more convenient than carrying stuff in your pockets or arm wrap.

1. super schnelle Lieferung. 2. die Farbe ist wie abgebildet. 3. die Qualität ist super. Ich benutze den FlibBelt zum laufen . Mein aphone 7 plus passt perfekt rein. Das einzige was ich ein bisschen blöd finde ist, ich habe Kopfhörer die noch mit dem Handy verbunden werden müssen und dafür gibt es keine Öffnung ( für das Kabel). Ich lasse den Reißverschluss ein Stück offen und das klappt super.
