Review on ๐Ÿƒ Fitletic Retractable Hydration Belt with Quench Technology by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great belt for runners!

I love this belt! I had a Nathan hydration belt, but for some reason I could never close the cap on the little bottles properly (not sure if it was user error or a defect) and water was all over my butt. Well, I noticed that a few people at my running club had a Fitletic (formerly iFitness) quench belt, and I thought it was so cool that it fits in standard water bottles. The quench strap is very comfortable to wear and has a thick elastic waistband and grip points to prevent bouncing. I thought it would be awkward to wear the strap on the front, but I actually notice it less and like it a lot more. The bottle holders can also be closed with a zipper. So if you only use one (or none) you can keep them closed and the strap won't get lumpy. I had no issues with water bottles popping out and found the standard size (500ml?) bottle fitted fairly well. There are also multiple loops for holding your gels. As another reviewer pointed out, I like to wear a belt around my hips (for comfort and to avoid knotting) so the bib straps sit too low on me (e.g. in the crotch/thigh area). Otherwise I really have no complaints. I bought mine from Revain for about $27 which is an amazing price as they are usually in the $40-$50 range. If you are not picky about color, check all colors as they may cost differently.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
