Race Belt 4.0

Fits a bit smaller than I expected for a S/M size but I really like it

With the bottle not 100% full, the belt totally disappears and I forget I'm wearing it. With a full bottle, it is a little uncomfortable. Easy to adjust with plenty of space. My only gripe is that the phone pocket isn't waterproof. Putting some waterproof fabric in the phone pocket it keep my sweat from getting through to my phone would make this belt 5 stars.

I am new to distance running (doing my first half in October!) so I needed some sort of hydration for training. This is perfect. It doesn't bounce at all. It is easy to get the water bottle in and out. It fits my phone well. I am not sure what the little drawstrings are for though!

I spent quite a bit of time searching the internet for hydration option that would not sit on my hips and bounce when I run. The Race Belt was my solution. The water bottle is a little more difficult to get out of the pouch than a traditional hard bottle in a cup holder on a belt, but there are benefits. The body bottle collapses like a tube of toothpaste as you drink the water, preventing the water from sloshing around inside the bottle. Once I put the pack on it didn't move the entire run. I sweated a little, but he mesh is not heavy and I didn't sweat noticeably under it. The main pack sits in the small of the back. Though I did sweat there, the pack was relatively comfortable. It did not move or bounce, and the Velcro straps were easy to readjust on the fly.

There is a pocket inside the pouch, but I have chosen not to put my phone there as it seems a bit tight in case I needed to remove it while running .

An added improvement would be if they made the lining on the belt reflective. I like to run at night so I have been wrapping reflective material around the belt, but it would be nice if it already functioned that way.

This is the perfect running accessory - it fits the essentials of cell phone, soft water bottle and even a wind shell! I dont go for a run without it!

Tested it out on a high tempo run with a 1,200 ft gain and decent to see if there was too much bouncing with a full water bottle. And I didn’t get annoyed with it at all, which for my personality says a lot. Definitely recommending this to anyone who needs a belt!

Highest marks for this belt, barely knew I had it on, loved the easy adjustable velcro straps, perfect size....recommended this to a friend who i ran long with this past weekend, may be a challenge to get the collapsible back in the pouch if your in a hurry but this wouldn't deter me from recommending it.

Very comfortable, lightweight, functional. I use everyday for road and trail runs. I do wish the snap that is used to close was easier to use. I have to turn the belt around in order to snap shut. Would be great to be able to secure shut more easily :-(
