Review on ๐Ÿƒ X31 Sports Triathlon Race Number Belt with Six Gel Loops for Enhanced Performance by Chris Parrott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good race belt that requires some improvisation

I used this race belt during a marathon where I had a goal of using gel every 30 minutes. I had to take 6 gels with me and couldn't afford to lose any of them while running. When I received the strap, I quickly tested it by loading the gels into each loop and then bouncing up and down for about 30 seconds. Some of the gel packs stayed in the loops, but some flew out and fell to the ground due to the violent movement and impact. I then tried loading the gels upside down with the wider side of the pouch facing up. This seemed to make them a bit more reliable but still didn't give me 100% confidence that none of them would come loose during a race. I thought of putting the staples through the loops and making them a little smaller. This didn't work either. Then I fold each gel pack in half and put it through the loops. It worked like a charm. They sit very securely and passed the first test at home. I'm happy to report that none of the gels came off during my run and I ran confidently without worrying about losing my calorie source.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
