Review on Running Race Number Bib Belt with Elastic πŸƒ Webbing - Ideal for Marathon, Triathlon, and Cycling Enthusiasts by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as hard as you do

I used this product for my first triathlon and running. Putting my phone in a pocket seems to be testing its limits, but my phone is a phablet with a solid case. The weather resistance seems very good, but I wouldn't recommend swimming with it. The large strap sits well where you want to wear it, and the strong elasticity is enough to keep it as high or low as you want without much movement. The zipper is a bit stiff, but keeps the contents dry. The main pocket is not very easy to access while cycling when using chews or food bars. Loops are easy enough if you're using gel packs. The loops are good for keeping gels or gummies in place, and I've even used them to route my headphone plugs to my phone and keep them out of the way. I have not used/tested any extra laces although they are similar to what I currently use and work well. Update: I've taken this product out a lot more times during quarantine and found that the seam was beginning to fray due to the stress on my phone. I still like this product but larger phones can weigh it down too much. This is one of the few products that has a draw to accommodate the race number. For endurance sports or events that last less than a few hours (e.g. sprint/olympic triathlon and marathon distance or less) this works very well. If you're in the ultramarathon community, there might not be enough room for your extras. The reflective details have held up well since my first purchase in October and it's now June, although I'd like to give a special mention to the reflective aspect that extends throughout the strap, not just on the side.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
