Nathan  Zipster Max Waistbelt

These belts used to be made of a nice, smooth, soft lycra. My older version of this belt has pockets that are now too small to hold a modern phone, so I had to order a more current version. I was shocked to find that this belt is now made of mesh screening... the type of screening used in tents. Not only is it abrasive against the skin, but also it no longer has much stretch. This belt will rub the skin right off me. Who in their right mind designed this?

This seems to be a really nice belt, I liked how flexible and wide it is, and the pocket worked well for my smaller iPhone 13 mini. HOWEVER REI has incorrect sizing on their website, which caused me to buy a M when S was the correct choice. Nathansports.com lists 34-36" as M when REI lists 32-34" as M, a substantial difference that I'm sure results of plenty of unsatisfactory purchases/returns. Belt was too loose above my hip bones but also worked its way too low around my hips as I would run (M). Will be returning for a S now that I know that was the correct size all along.

Bought this belt yesterday and wore it for the first time this morning, and it’s already ripped and no longer usable. I do not recommend this belt due to poor quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite running belt! This stays in place so well while running, and I love all the pockets! It has two zipper pockets for essentials (phone and keys) and open mesh pockets for each access during runs. I LOVE the two zipper options so I can keep my phone and keys separate. It is less stretchy/elastic than my previous running belts, but surprisingly stays in place so well. Once it’s on i don’t realize it’s even there during my run. No more constant pulling down and repositioning my waste belt mid runs!

I've been a long time flip belt user, but after 3 that have had zippers break and seams fail, I thouight I'd try this belt. I've been greatly impressed. It sits well with minimal movement. The compartments front and back hold plenty of cargo - keys, phone, extra gels. The side "open" pockets hold extra gels very securly. I would highly recommend this running belt. It's very comfortable to wear, as well. I will buy another one.

Beside fitting a little large ( size down if you want it fitting snug), this hip pack is awesome. Carries my large a54 Samsung no problem. zippered key pouch too. Would definitely buy again.

It has horrible elasticity and runs big. the pockets didn’t keep anything down. I used 2 soft water bottles and couldn’t keep those down unless they were empty and flat. Waste of money

Bought size small - (31’ waist) fits perfectly and is comfortable. I put my phone in larger front and keys/cards/etc in smaller back.

Product came as advertised. Does ride up from waist to torso area but still manages to stay fairly snug.

Bought one of each color as they are super practical for running to carry my iPhone, gel and car keys.
