Review on PYFK Running Hydration Bottle Reflective by James Wonsley

Works well. I've been running for over 25 years and have tried many ways to carry water. This is the best I've used. I hesitate to give it 5 stars because all water carriers are a bit painful. I used a standard alligator aid bottle and it held it up very well. The bottle landed on my right thigh, and while I knew it was there, it stayed fairly still with a minimal bounce. On the other side there is a zipped pocket. My iPhone X fits easily and I also tested my wife's iPhone 8+ and it fits. The bag is small 3D which is good if you still need to carry around a few things like gel or keys. Overall the build seems very good - time will tell but I expect it will hold up well. The strap can be shortened to fit better if you like. I have a 34" waist and don't see any point in cutting the belt. It is attached to the waistband with Velcro and holds very well. A few more notes. I wore this belt almost directly on the waistband of my running shorts and with a shirt underneath and it was very comfortable. I sometimes run shirtless so I tested it a little deeper to see if it rubbed against my skin. The belt had to be tightened fairly tightly, but wearing it a little lower also worked. Long-distance running can be challenging enough without the pesky water belt. This belt keeps irritation to a minimum - I recommend this belt.
