Zipper broke
I just replaced the zipper in mine 8/6/22. It was worth it to take the time to rip out and replace the zipper. I could not find when I purchased mine, and a REI employee helped me find the date - it was purchased 9/20/15. So sort of impressed it lasted this long Some people mentioned the elastic was an issue for them, sometimes I just need to tighten it up or loosen it - I can understand their issue with it, but I have not had it be a major problem for me. I like to use mine hiking or horseback riding. When you put a heavy item in it ( I put an external speaker in it so I could ride with music) it did bounce. I like how it expands to hold more items than you think it will hold.
Exactly what I needed
Started running and needed something to hold my phone and keys. This does the job well and the pocket expands a bit if you want it to hold a few more things. I'm not hyper aware of it while running, as it doesn't move around much or bang against me uncomfortably. As for sizing, I'm a size 16/XL in women's street clothes and the belt fits just right adjusted to the biggest width without much stretching. Would fit a bigger person with stretching. I was concerned about it stretching out over time as per other reviews but I've been using the belt for over a month without this issue. It may be an issue if you're very slim.
Unexpectedly great
I didn’t have high hopes for this and it was more of an impulse buy. I’ve had a ton of different race belts and they all seem to have fatal flaws. This one helped overcome many of them. First and foremost you can fit a large iPhone in it. The straps also can be tightened enough so they stay up. They also have some elasticity that helps it fit snug without feeling like it will cut off circulation. If your looking to hold a large phone, a set of keys, and a gel or two this is a great option. I liked it enough that after I misplaced it a couple days ago I’m considering buying another.
Bounce Free Adaptable Belt
I use this belt whenever I take my phone running. Holds my Samsung S22 easily and keys if needed. Adding a wallet would be a bit bulky but one could stuff all in there as it does expand. I wear it to the front for easy access to my phone, mostly taking photos as I run. The belt has a strong wide elastic and good buckle. In time the elastic loses a little elasticity, but I am always able to adjust it tighter with the buckle and adjusters. I purchased a prior model which has a thinner strap and capacity. I got a couple of years of use out of it before buying a new one. This model is perfect without being overly bulky. You barely notice wearing it. You will lose a bit of airflow where the pouch sits but about the only downside. If I go out for a longer run or hike I'll carry a Camelback Classic on my back and this belt.
keep looking
Agreed with the other reviews that it stretched out after some time, did not like it at all. I wear my running belts at my waist, so I had to pull the slack of the straps to the shortest setting (even tho this says it goes to 18? I'm a 26" waist), causing the ends of the straps to flap loosely in the wind which is the last thing I want when running. In the end, it stretched out so much that it would just bounce when I ran with the belt near my hips. So I switched over to running tight shorts that had pockets for my phone, but who wants to wear tight pants when running in the summer heat? Finally found a running belt that I loveee and have not gone back (unfortunately REI doesn't carry it)
Perfect for a quick run
This is my replacement to my current, it’s the exact same one. I’m one of those people if I like something I’m so afraid that they’ll discontinue it that I buy a back up. Love this because it’s so light weight, the mesh is very durable & cool. It holds everything I need on a run when I don’t have pockets for my iPhone and car key. My only thing I’d say the only negative is, the straps are elastic and they do stretch out. Wish they’d just use some type of webbing or something else that won’t stretch out.
Disappointed
I ordered this less than three months ago, and initially I thought it was great: nice quality, comfortable to wear, no bouncing. Unfortunately, the elastic has stretched out so much to the point that it's unwearable without tying knots to make it shorter. I tried washing it, and it didn't return to its original size. I might get a few more months of use out of it before I can no longer tie enough knots :( All in all, extremely disappointed with this purchase.
Works great, but........
The elastic stretched out after ~20 uses and I either need to gain weight or throw it out.
The elastic strap is no good
It works, but for a short period of time - about three years of very light use - I don't jog with it, only for commute occasionally to hold bus card and keys, but the strap lost tension and became very lose. I am a small person, so it won't work for me any more, but if you are big, it might still hang on. I would recommend something with a more sturdy belt, not a elastic one.
Amazing Capacity with Slim Profile
Don't let the size fool you. I have an iPhone 6+ with case and it holds this easily. I can carry my phone, my keys, sunglasses even stuff a T-shirt in and it will expand to hold all of it with the slimmest profile possible. I use it running and hiking and it doesn't jiggle around. LOVE LOVE LOVE
