Fitletic Hydration Running Belt with Water Bottles for Men

Best hydration belt ever – a few imperfections, but can be easily fixed by the user
I absolutely love this hydration belt. I’ve tried Fuel Belt and Nathan hydration belts and this is by far the least bouncy option out there. I bought it for my half marathon coming up and I wanted to have water with me and be able to bring gels and gummies along so the large pocket and the straps for gels was perfect. I do have a few notes of consideration though.#1 Sizing – I bought the small and I have a 27″ waist, this belt has to be all the way tightened to stay secure for me, so if you have a waist smaller than 26″ to 27″ this belt will not fit you properly. As it is the belt does loosen slightly throughout a 13+ mile run, but its easy enough to adjust as you’re running.#2 Where it sits – in the brand photos of this product, they mostly show it in worn front not in the back and the women have it very low on their hips – wearing the belt this way when running is nearly impossible. Wearing it it front is possible, but not very comfortable; but wearing it low causes bouncing and chafing. You have to wear this belt right on top of your hips, otherwise you will have a very bumpy ride. When worn on top of your hips, and adjusted correctly there is NO bounce, you forget it’s even there, which is a fantastic experience.#3 Bottle Cap interference – When I bought this I read a lot of reviews and I saw some that called out how the bottle caps can scratch your arms when running. And it’s true, when you’re wearing the belt on top of your hips the bottles are higher and your forearms sometimes scratch the bottle caps which is annoying at best and painful at worst. But a fix is easy, simply turn the bottles around so the angled caps face inward instead of outward so the bottles mimic the contours of your body – no more interference.#4 How big is the pocket – I don’t generally bring my phone along on runs but I was excited when I saw how big the pocket was, and I thought I could bring my phone along. Yes, the pocket is large and I can easily fit my iPhone in it, and its big enough for my husbands HTC One, you could probably fit bigger. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. My first 13 mile run with my phone in the pocket was excruciatingly painful. I wear the pocket on my back so each stride the rigid rectangle of the phone rubbed up and down on the base of my spine, causing lower back pain for a week. It also made the pocket harder to access for my nutrition and I wasted time messing with the bag trying to get gummies out. Definitely not worth having my phone along. On my most recent run I didn’t bring my phone and the pocket was far more flexible and I didn’t experience any pain at all. If you wear the pocket in front this may not be an issue.#5 Watch your Gels – This belt sports two nifty elastic bands to hold gels, which is great, but only if you have thicker consistency gels. Honey Stinger, Gu, most Cliff Shots are fine. But thinner consistency gels like Power Gels can easily slip out of the bands and be lost which has happened to me, even though I thought they were secure. So if you prefer thinner consistency, be prepared to check your belt consistently or just keep them in the pocket.#6 Bottle Plastic – I saw a lot of reviews that said the bottles smelled like chemicals, had a bad smell, etc. That was not the case for me. The bottles didn’t smell like anything and the water/gatorade I put in never smelled or tasted other than what they should and I am very picky/sensitive about smell. So take what other reviewers say with a grain of salt.#7 Bottle Caps – I was a little concerned about bottle leakage since the caps don’t actually have closing lids, but the design is amazing. The only way you can get water to come out is by sucking on the cap. If you shake the bottles (right side up or upside down), and even light squeezing doesn’t cause any leakage. Not only is there no leakage, it helps me regulate how much water I’m taking in so I don’t choke and cough.Overall this belt is the best thing ever. A few imperfections in the design, but nothing that can’t be fixed/hacked by the user. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hydration belt.

Product use
Great fits well doesn’t move much

Haven’t got to use these yet, but it seems like it’s gonna be great.
I’ll be giving these a try in the next few days on my long run and really look forward to it. I particularly like the little attachments they have for using during races. So nice to have this attachment as opposed to having to try to get safety pins to work during a race. Really most suitable for long races, but I plan on using my training runs also

Produto muito bom! Comprei o tamanho G. Totalmente anatômico, fechos de qualidade, garrafinhas bem planejadas para não atrapalhar as passadas na hora da corrida.

Como corredor, considero este acessório em específico, como o que mais bem empreguei meu dinheiro na compra de produtos focados na corrida. Excelente custo/benefício. Um pouco caro, mas deixa a anos luz de distância opções mais baratas. Bonito, muito bem acabado, com materiais de qualidade. Adapta-se bem ao corpo, não balança (basta ajustar bem), fica bem fixo mesmo, muito bom. Garrafas de tamanho adequado, com válvula, não necessitando encostar a boca para beber, basta apertar e o jato será direcionado. Fácil de guardar e usar as garrafinhas durante a corrida. Bolso impermeável, cabe até um iphone pro max, uma chave de carro, documentos, gel de carboidrato. etc. Indispensável para rodagem superior a 6km, não saio para correr sem ele. Recomendo fortemente.

I used this belt for running and it carried two bottles of water and two phones in all conditions, hot and rainy weather, and it was the best fit for me and I highly recommend it.
