The best solid running belt in the sport

I like this belt, good feedback. It seems to stay in place quite well and two 10-ounce bottles get me through 10 miles fairly efficiently. I run early in the morning so I like to fill bottles and mix them up with IV fluid the night before, freeze them and then usually thaw them about 3/4ths halfway through my run so this works perfectly, some sips of ice cold water filled with intravenous fluids will help you as you begin to gain momentum. Or take them out of the freezer 30-45 minutes before your run and they will thaw in a few miles. I do have one gripe: I've noticed that the bottle pockets start to stretch quite a bit, and only after maybe 10 uses of the strap, so I'm just hoping it doesn't stretch so much that the bottles start to fall out. The large pocket stretched a bit and was necessary, my Pixel 2 XL (with case) was a little tight when I first used it. But then again, most of the belts I saw were similar. there were smaller bottles and/or there was no bottle, i returned one before because it wanted to lift my hips when i started running. But this material is comfortable, does not irritate the skin and does not roll. I usually run shirtless for a mile or two depending on the temperature and hang my shirt through little bib holders, which works well.
