   Me gusto mucho que puedas meter la botella en la parte de atrás. No se mueve y no se siente

   Trey – January 9, 2024

   I got pointed at this in a marathon prep class by a fellow attendee. Mainly because I’m getting into long runs and need to carry water and energy gels/chews with me.

   And it works!

   It’s comfortable, much more so than other things I tried in the past. The zipper pouch is about perfect for holding an ID, emergency contacts, cash and cards. It has 2 pouches that you can put a specialized bottle in and where you can put the gels.

   Now, it works for carrying water. It’s easy to get the bottle out. Getting the gels or chews out is a bit of a challenge, especially on the move.

   The key ring holder needs a slightly longer cord maybe 3-4″ longer than it is now. Possibly putting it in the zipper pouch.

   Last, there isn’t a spot to put your phone and see the display. Minor thing and really solved by adding a cheap phone holster.

   Still, 4 out of 5 stars. It works well and needs a little bit of supplementation.

   I love this flipbelt. I got the XXL and I’m a size 22 women’s. It fits all the way from my hips to my waist and isn’t too constricting. It feels well made. The zipper pocket is big enough for my Samsung A32.

   I tried a similar waistline product with an adjustable buckle that was promising but still left me wanting better so I decided to give this a try. These are my initial impressions after two runs. I am a 31/32 waist so I went with the medium and found the fit to be snug but not uncomfortable. The temperatures were between 85F to 88F degrees with one of the days being fairly humid. My phone is an iPhone 11 max and I use a case with a credit card holder on the back. It’s somewhat bulky so I removed the phone from the case and stored it in a ziplock bag. I used a smaller ziplock bag for my license, credit cards and cash. I also had the 10 oz. bottle which I threw in the freezer for a few hours before my runs. And lastly I had my key fob and wedding ring. I put the phone in the zippered compartment and wore that on my back. I had the water bottle inserted through the openings and over my belly button. The cards/cash to one side and my ring and key fob attached to the clip on the other side. There was very little movement during my light trail running. I kept feeling around to make sure I didn’t lose anything along the way and whenever I slowed for a sip of water but all items were accounted for. The water bottle wasn’t overly difficult to remove while running but it was trickier getting back. I’m sure it will get easier with practice but I just slowed up up a bit so not an issue.

   So after about 16 miles combined on the two days and found this to be the best solution I’ve tried thus far. I tried running tights with a phone pocket but my phone has worked its way out and fallen to the floor on occasion. The arm bands are super uncomfortable for me so I gave those up a long time ago. I had been running with just my watch and AirPods leaving everything else in the car but now I don’t have to. The cons for me are the price but like most everything made specifically for runners, hydration vests, etc., they all seem overpriced. And the belt probably weighed 2-3x more after running than when I started. It soaks up sweat like a sponge. The ziplock bags worked fine so I may use another for the key fob just to be safe.

   This worked great for me so I may get another for the wife. I end up having to carry her phone and other things when we go out and she wants to leave her purse behind. This can be worn underneath most clothes without being seen so it’s much better than a fanny pack.

   Justitia – March 4, 2024

   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!
