Review on FILA Waist Pack - Adjustable Running Belt Fanny Pack for Women & Men - Sports Pouch Phone Holder ideal for Running, Walking, Cycling, Exercise & Fitness by Tyler Born

I've been looking for one of these running backpacks for a long time and decided to give this one a try. I often put my phone in the pocket of my shorts, but it jumped too much during workouts. I just wanted something simple to protect my phone while running. The backpack is large enough to comfortably hold a large phone. There is an internal partition so you can also store some other small flat items (car keys, ID card, etc.). The backpack is flat so bulkier items (such as a wallet) may not fit inside. There is an extra layer of mesh on the back of the backpack which allows for some breathability between you and the backpack. The adjustable, durable elastic strap is comfortable, provides a secure fit, and stays in place throughout the session. I really like that the strap axis sits closer to the center of the pack and keeps the pack snug to the body so it doesn't dangle while running. If you are still using wired headphones, there is a small slot in the case to insert the cable. I listen to podcasts during my workouts so I don't need access to my phone. However, if you're constantly skipping songs or checking notifications, this pack might not be the best choice as you won't be able to access your phone without taking it out of the pack (other packs have windows for this purpose). Additionally, this backpack has a low profile, so it can be used as a waist bag to hide essential items while traveling.
