FlipBelt Classic Running Belt, Belt Bag & Fanny Pack for Men and Women - Phone Holder, Waist Pack, Running Accessories, Belt Pouch, Money Belt, USA Running Company

I purchased this belt on the recommendation of a friend who swore that this was, in fact, the best running belt ever. EVER (she really did yell that part). Well, I am happy to report that she was correct. I ordered this in a size medium based on the chart because I fell somewhere in the middle of that and a small. I probably should have gone for the small, but no big deal. I actually just put one safety pin on each side, at the hip, and I'm totally good to go. I run anywhere from 6 to 20 miles on a given day and I have never lost anything, it is always comfortable, and stays where I put it. I wish I could say that about every single pair of stupidly expensive running tights I own, or the pinnies that always go places they aren't supposed to. I have had other running belts before and frankly, they end-up around my rib cage after less than a mile. Those are in a box in my closet. They are not the best running belt ever. I am known in my circle of friends for always carrying a small Nana purse that somehow has every single thing they could ever need inside of it. My purse is a little bit of a TARDIS probably. Need gum? I have gum. Need Pepto Bismol? I have that. Need dental floss, a Tide stick, sewing kit, a snack, or a hair elastic? I'm your girl. This belt is totally the Nana bag of running belts. I usually pack it with my iPhone (worn in the small of my back), my inhaler, 4-5 gels, my car and/or house key, Kleenex, dollars, and a thing of mace. All of this stuff fits, and nothing has ever fallen out. I choose not to flip the belt because well, bears. There are a lot of bears where I run and I really don't want to be messing with flipping my belt when I'm trying to look for mace and mostly not die from a bear mauling. Thankfully, I do know what to do in case of bears, and I have not ever been mauled by one, but I have lots of pictures taken with my easily accessible iPhone. Speaking of phones, my husband is always getting after me to bring my phone on long runs. This is something I didn't love doing because CHAFING. When that thing is strapped to my arm on a hot day I'm lucky if there's any skin left. There's not enough Body Glide in the universe when you have a gigantic iPhone strapped to your bicep, it's 80% humidity, and 86 degrees. FlipBelt=no skinless biceps, and a happy husband. Bottom line, this is a good product that does what it says it does. It fits well under clothing, it functions correctly, it carries lots and lots of items, and it does not end up around your rib cage or in places that it shouldn't be. Buy one!

I am a very small lady. 4'11 to be exact, and weighing in at 105lbs. I am also a product junkie. I have and will try every kind of running gadget they have. I think I enjoy getting a new running toy, as much if not more than running itself. I purchased a small on because I would rather wear it would my hips vs, my stomach. It gets very hot in the Midwest, and I did not want to risk it rubbing around. I usually wear it around my hips over my shorts. After the whole back story this is my review. Pro: It fits a TON of stuff. I carry epi pen ( sometimes I stop and eat at my local pub, and don't want to die). inhaler, keys and my Samsung Galaxy s4 phone with an Otter Box. Then some GU. ( if you don't know what GU is I suggest you look it up right now) I normally take off the outer shell off and just left with the hard plastic body. I love that my phone fits into Flipbelt, because I hated wearing the armband. That totally sucks, when it is hot, or starts to cut off circulation from your arm because it is too tight. I can never find an armband that fits because I have such small twiggy arms. You can of course FLIP it so everything is secure and does not fall out. The belt itself has 4 opening so everything can fit around the frame. It comes with a cool little clip inside for your keys. I suggest EVERYONE use it when carrying keys. I did not, and guess what.. I lost them. I was lucky and found them after 45 min, but after a long run, that is the last thing you want to do. It is bigger than it looks, TRUST ME. I was very skeptical when I bought it, I thought nope no way is all my junk going to fit into that tiny little thing. It does.. it really does, with room to spare. Color choices are AWESOME !! Cons: They do run small. I almost ordered an x-small only because of the size of my frame, but decided not to. I am so glad I ordered a small. The belt does not have compartments, and when you put stuff in sometimes things get bunched up together. When you fit everything inside the belt and then put on a compression shirt on it looks like you have a really messed up muffin top, where the fat won't move around. Cleaning : I always ALWAYS hand wash this and let it air dry. I do this about every three or four runs, or if it is extremely hot I do it as soon as I get home. I have had it about 3 months and it does not smell funky yet, so it must be working. Overall: I would ABSOLUTELY buy this again, and recommend this to all of my running friends. I actually would like another one in a super fun bright color. I have received so many compliments on this because people I know still have fanny packs, little clippy belts, arm bands or something that looks like it is from the 1980's.. all yucky. Not to mention all those things are sweat collectors in the summer, and no one and I repeat NO ONE likes to be chaffing in the summer. . This is made of breathable materials and a dream.

I've only used this for a few runs, but it doesn't slip, it holds my phone with or without my wallet on the back, it isn't adjustable but comes in several sizes. I hardly notice I'm wearing it on the run. I love that I don't have to hold my phone in my hand anymore or try and find a place in the stroller that my kids won't kick it off. The color is pretty consistent to the picture. It also has a way to hook your key so you don't lose it even if it slipped out of your pocket. I like this better than one that straps to your arm to hold your phone. It doesn't slide and it's overall comfortable. I think it's a good quality and I like the style. I would buy again.

I love this. It has no moving parts - no zippers to break, no web belts to adjust, no Velcro. It simply slips onto your waist or hips and gives you storage space for phones, keys, and other small items. There’s even an 11 ounce flask available that fits perfectly in this belt. While you’re running you hardly notice it’s there. Perfect solution for my needs.

I have three of these belts, each one a different size (sm, med & lrg). This specific order is for a medium, i am currently running with a large and there is too much bounce. I am 5'7" and 143ish lbs. The large sits on my waist fine with just a phone in there but if i add my waterbottle it moves around too much. The small "fits" my waist, but adding anything is too uncomfortable. I really like this belt if im doing shorter runs where i dont have to carry a bunch of extra stuff. I like to only carry my phone, key & a small water bottle. So this is perfect. There is a small loop snap for attaching keys. The pocket holes are a good size i can easily slide in the flip belt water bottle. I also have a S26 ultra in an otter case that will fit into the pocket, but its a tight squeeze. If youre new to this style belt, you cannot adjust the size (which is why ive ended up with 3), but they do have some stretch. Ive been using them for years and ive never had an issue with the quality, never had the pocket openings tear or broken the key ring attachment. I really like this style running belt.

Fantastic product! I've had this for about a month and it is really helpful. I am able to carry my iPhone XS with a case on it, my keys (which have a cord & hook attached to the belt so your keys will not fall out), and a few cards if need be. Whether I choose to walk or run, it doesn't make a difference. Everything stays put As far as sizing goes, I have between a 34-36 waist & I'm 6'3". FlipBelt recommends that I order a large, but I tried on a large in a store and it felt uncomfortably tight. I ordered an XL it's a great fit. Nice & snug without feeling like it's too tight. If you're on the high end of FlipBelts sizing chart I would recommend going to the next size up. As a side note, I wear this just below my hips and I am slightly "rumpalicous" and my backside is a tad "bubblier" than many guys my size so that may affect how the belt fits me Update: 3/23/19: Still an awesome product and really well made. I'm able to smoothly fit my iPhone XS Max, with a slim Otterbox case, and it stays securely inside. What I wrote a couple of months ago is still true, that if you have larger hips or a bubble butt, you can go a size larger and the belt will stay above your hips just fine. Even though I've lost over 30lbs & on my way to 40, and I'm down almost 2 pant sizes, the larger belt still fits well. What I wrote earlier still applies, that if you're near the high side of FlipBelts sizing chart and you have larger hips or a bigger butt, go to the next size up Since I began wearing the belt I prefer it to sit just below my waist, right at my hips & slightly on my butt, and for the most part it stays there. Over the past couple of months I've been getting my 6 miles of fast walking in everyday and the belt does really well. Over this past week, though, I've transitioned to running for almost a mile of that, and combined with my weight loss the belt does not stay where I'd like it and I must wear it around my waist or it will fall off. But it still works fantastically and I would absolutely buy it again just 1 size smaller

I need to give a little background first. I used a Nathan belt for a long time that click in the back. It was a bit bulky. It worked though. I was logging some 45+ mile weeks. I needed something that was durable, non-slip, it could hold my cellphone, keys and nutrition. The Nathan belt has done that for several years. I decided to change because I did want something lighter. I forgot about the FlipBelt. When I was looking for new running belts I came across it and ordered it after reading the description. The belt material is very good. It's very comfortable to wear. It is very light. It does feel good to run in , My cellphone fits perfectly and doesn't move. The belt will stay in place most of the time even running at a fast time pace. It does not bounce which is impressive. There are some negatives to the design of this belt for me and this is why I consider it fair for my usage. The rear two openings are hard for me to get to when running. I find the opening, but it's a struggle to get a gel or bar out without slowing down or stopping. Where I live we've had an incredibly hot and humid summer. Sometimes my belt does "slip" because of how much sweat the belt gets. It doesn't wick a lot away. I don't think it's a design fault though. I have to pull the belt up well above my waist and hope it stays. Sometimes it still slips.. This only happened twice though. The other problem is this belt STINKS so bad if you let it sit around in a dirty clothes bin. My running and cycling clothes smell a bit bad of course, but this belt is so bad.. Even if you wash it with soap by hand and let it dry outside. That alone makes me not want to use it because I have to wash the belt after every run. Sometimes I have 3 back-to-back days. That means I have to wash the belt in my washing machine every time. If I could wash it by hand and let it dry out without a problem I wouldn't care. Those are my grips. If you run or hike 3-5 miles in a mild climate a few times a week I think you'll really like this belt. The above grips are something to consider if you run 5-6 days a week or are logging high miles that require carrying gels or bars.

This is a great product. I was skeptical of its effectiveness and value initially, but after fairly extensive use in a myriad of activities/situations, I can honestly say it was worth the money and a great buy. I have used the FlipBelt in a range of activities, including "outdoor" and sports-activities (e.g. running, hiking, snowboarding, biking, and even swimming in pools and the ocean) and it's worked excellently. I've also used it when attending concerts, trade shows, and even a multi-day music festival- it's worked well in those situations also. One use-case that I hadn't originally considered when I purchased the FlipBelt was "casual everyday use," though I've been particularly happy with the FlipBelt using it in that manner. To clarify, typically, I carry quite a few items around with me everyday (e.g. A full set of keys, two smartphones, a bunch of cards, maybe some cash, sometimes lip balm, and sometimes more). With the most comfortable clothing I own (or formal/dressy clothing for that matter), I simply can't carry those items (not well, anyway)- said items carry awkwardly, noisily, and sometimes uncomfortably. In addition, often-times, the outline of those items in my pockets looks terrible, and certainly stunts efforts of "trying to look nice or dress-up." With a FlipBelt, I literally wear whatever I want to wear- comfortable, classy, slimmer-fitting, no-pockets, loose and light, whatever- owning a FlipBelt, I can comfortably carry around any or all of the items I usually carry- bulky or not. (The FlipBelt is actually fairly inconspicuous, even when worn with "less forgiving" clothing, and it remains so for me, even when I'm using it to carry "all my stuff.") After owning one for a while, the FlipBelt has easily worked its way into my regular wardrobe- its too convenient and common-sense an "accessory" to NOT use, at least for me anyway. I no longer have to pick out an outfit for any activity based on how many pockets I'll need, or how much stuff I'll be carrying around. The FlipBelt stretches well to accommodate all manner of "cargo," and it holds it all well, in-place, without causing discomfort. A smartphone such as an iPhone 5s, for example, fits very easily, and an iPhone 6 or Samsung S5 or S6 fit also, though with a little stretching- it's still fairly easy to slide those phones into and out of the FlipBelt "pockets," however. I haven't tried a Samsung Note 4 or the iPhone 6L, but I have little doubt that those types of phones could be carried in a FlipBelt, though with those "phablets," there would obviously be a bit more stretching. Quickly removing or storing something like a Note 4 or a iPhone 6L (while wearing the FlipBelt) would be a little bit more cumbersome, too, I imagine, but certainly still do-able. The built-in key-clip/lanyard is a fantastic feature, and it ensures that you won't lose your keys/key-chain, regardless of the activity you're doing. The clip is also very handy for things like work/resort/casino/hotel key-cards, access-cards, and discount-cards, provided they have some kind of hole punched through them or some other method of attachment. To me, it makes sense to punch a hole into most of my cards (away from any integrated security-chips or magnetic-strips) so that I could "key-chain them together," or otherwise secure them when necessary- the FlipBelt's key-clip/lanyard feature is quite nice for that purpose. The lanyard portion is also (for me) just the right length and "stretchiness"- it's not so short that you can't even get the keys out of the belt, and the lanyard length also happens to make it easier to "fish the keys out" of the FlipBelt, by pulling on the lanyard itself. Even when carrying a bunch of items (like the example "cargo" I listed above), the FlipBelt is still surprisingly comfortable- the material it's made of breathes well, it's fairly durable and retains "stretchiness" well, it washes easily when necessary and whole belt dries relatively quickly when washed or taken swimming. Further, (as long as it's sized correctly) the FlipBelt feels almost invisible while worn directly against skin, or even when it's worn over other clothes. The continuous "wrap-around" design of the FlipBelt's "pocket" allows for "adjusting" the placement of carried items without requiring that the belt be removed. The ability to "adjust" the placement and orientation of carried items throughout the FlipBelt's wrap-around pocket, and through its cloth, while still being worn, makes it easy to "flatten" a loaded-up FlipBelt for appearance and comfort purposes. It is due to this ability to "adjust" carried items that I find the FlipBelt able to stay relatively inconspicuous in many outfits, for many activities, and a wide-range of carrying-ability, all while being quite comfortable. To me, the ability to make said "adjustments" to carried items while the belt is still worn, is a critically-important design-aspect that should not be overlooked. A Few Considerations: I originally had reservations about the design of the FlipBelt, since it doesn't "come-apart" like a belt (there is no buckle, velcro, or zipper)- you don the FlipBelt by sliding it over your head and down your body, or the opposite-way- that seemed like an hassle to me at first; like it was a design-oversight, or a bean-counter eliminating features or some other cynical explanation. In using the FlipBelt, I must say that it's design allows it to be light, comfortable, non-chaffing, easy to rotate-around your body, inconspicuous, and durable. I doubt, now, that having something like a buckle or zipper would have improved the design- in fact, I think it would have detracted quite a bit from my positive experience with the FlipBelt thus-far. Even when considering the design of the FlipBelt's pocket-openings (there are four, evenly spaced around the belt, if I recall correctly)- they have no closing-mechanism; no zippers, no Velcro, no buckles, but the FlipBelt still contains all of my stuff well nonetheless. The explanation for this lies in the ability to store items into the wrap-around pocket of the FlipBelt, and then literally flipping the belt inside-out while wearing it- this faces the four pocket-openings of the FlipBelt snugly up against the wearer's body, thus preventing the FlipBelt's contents from falling-out (provided the belt is sized correctly to the wearer). [Incidentally, I believe the suggested waist-sizes are relatively accurate, or at least it was in my case. I don't believe that FlipBelts should be considered to "run large" or "run small," but of course, your mileage may vary.] [Disclaimer: I am not in any way whatsoever affiliated with or compensated-by either Amazon, any FlipBelt resellers, nor the FlipBelt manufacturer.

Good quality product. Though I had some product related issue like figuring the size. So I went for precise size. Now belt suits snugly on my waist and I think : maybe I should have taken 1 size up...

Perfect for runners and definite must have! So comfortable you hardly know it's there.

Parfait. Ne bouge pas. Très pratique. Les grands téléphones entrent aussi.

Don't notice you are wearing it! I bought this for running so that I could carry my items like my keys and mobile phone (I use a running App to monitor distance, pace, time etc but don't get on with the arm bands!). This stayed in place perfectly and I genuinely forgot I was wearing it. I have an iphone 5s and this fits comfortably with still plenty of space and a bulky set of car and house keys and despite the little bit of weight I felt no movement! I was unsure about sizing due to other reviews but I am petite with a 26inch waist so went for the XS and it was true to size. I think the S would have been to big and may have moved a little however I would say this would be fine for a size 8-10. Great product!

Buen producto, tiene buen material y si te todo al correr no lastima y no te hace sudar, lo puedes poner bajo la playera y no se ve. 10/10
