Review on πŸƒ Fitletic Hydra 16 Hydration Belt: No Bounce | Perfect for Marathon, Triathlon, Ironman, Trail Running | 2 8 Oz Water Bottles | Various Sizes & Colors by Ananta Crowley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is my go-to harness when I need a dual bottle harness for mine.

So far this is my go-to choice when I need a two-bottle belt for my long runs. I found some things I really liked and some things I didn't like. Here's a summary of my pros and cons: Pros: 1) I have pink and this band fits my Samsung Galaxy S5! :)2) 8 oz. The bottles are a good size and not big enough to be in the way. 3) I like that these are squeeze bottles and not ones that actually have to be opened to open. 4) The strap has grip points on the inside to keep it from slipping on you. 5) The buckle is strong and the whole belt looks high quality and well made. 6) The belt does not start for me. 7) Bib holders are a nice addition. 8) The wicks sweat and get wet over long distances, but the contents inside stay dry! (I've never made my phone sweat) Cons: 1) Bottles are sometimes difficult to squeeze out and pour the water out of. Sometimes you have to squeeze very hard with both hands. I think this is because the bottles are made out of very thick plastic and not as flexible as bottles from other brands. 2) The belt sometimes slips when I wear a shirt with a smoother/silkier thread texture. 3) If the two small loop-shaped pieces next to the buckle are meant to be gel holders, they can be slightly larger. It was very difficult for me to insert my gels. However, they did not fall out. 4) Add more gel loops! (I bought it for marathons) Overall I like this belt and hope to see an improved version in the future.
