Review on FlipBelt Reflective Belt Black Medium Outdoor Recreation and Accessories by Christopher Buck

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Will NOT stay in place

So I REALLY REALLY wanted to be able to add to the many 5 star reviews I read prior to purchasing the FlipBelt. I bought it to use while jogging, to hold my phone and listen to music through the Amazon Prime Music music app. I need a phone for this because I can't stream music from my Apple Watch. In any case. I was very disappointed when I took it for my first run. It is advertised that due to the belt's design, its position at the waist/hip does not bounce or move. This was NOT the case for me. It was CONSTANTLY sliding down my thighs while running. In the end I had to pull it down to the middle of the buttocks. Like in my pelvic bone. These are stupid lowly people. However, this didn't completely fix the issue and I still had to tug and tug to keep it in a comfortable position for my run. Not to jump to conclusions, I decided to use it a few more times to be sure. . Each time I had the same disappointing results. Finally, on my last run, I pulled it across my chest to see if I could get it to stay there (I was desperate at the time). There is no such happiness. It does not work. Before I bought this I made sure I was the right size (or what I thought was the right size based on their size chart). My hips are 32.5 inches which would be the limit of a medium to large size. So I went for the medium size because I thought it would fit best. Perhaps a small size would be better as it fits snugly on my hips and is less likely to ride up my hips when running. I can try small. If it works I'll be ready to update this review. I really want to be able to join the 5 star views. But right now he gets 1 from me. And that's because I like the slots you put your items in.

Pros
  • Belt pouches
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
