I am currently training for a marathon and have used this belt on 6 long runs, every 15-20 miles. I am high waisted and wear the belt facing forward and have no problem with my hands touching the belt/water bottles. I'm a slim woman and I can tighten the belt enough that it doesn't bounce, but I can still breathe, although not as freely as without the belt. I fill the bottles to the brim every time and 4 water bottles last 15-16 miles at 40-65 degrees before needing refills. The water bottles initially had a strange smell so I washed them 4 times in the top rack of the dishwasher and the strong smell was gone. The first few samples I used of this, the bottle had a very faint taste. I can't smell or taste anything anymore. I think you can wash them 10 times and you'll be done. :) I don't walk around with my phone, but the front pocket fits my 2-3 honey gels and salt caps, and they're very comfortable to chew on. The bag has a velcro closure which is very secure. My only complaint is that the extra water bottles for the belt aren't sold separately. I need 2 more to quickly change to fill up my water.
