Review on Nathan Peak Insulated Fanny Pack by David Jones

So far so good. First off, I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of buckling up while running. But after many mishaps with water stops during races and an extremely hot and humid summer, I finally broke down and bought it. I've tried a few others that I found uncomfortable or too strong when filling liquids into bottles. I'm not sure where I discovered this Nathan, but I decided to find him myself and give it a try. My longest run with it was only 8 miles, but it's hot and humid enough to require hydration. When I first put it on I had a slight rebound. I fixed this by adjusting the belt tighter as I have a very small waist. So if you are small and care about your figure, this belt will suit you. What I would like to emphasize positively is the wearing comfort. Maybe it's the width of the belt as I don't feel like it cuts into me. In addition, the bottle is placed in such a way that I hardly notice it. The pocket is large enough for a large cell phone. I'll probably do what the other reviewer suggested and put it in a plastic bag to keep moisture out. It wasn't very wet but felt a little wet after a run. I haven't had to carry any extra power/fuel packs yet, but I have plugged the power pack into one of the small shock cables on the side and did a quick test run. I'm not worried about losing energy gels with these cables. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I feel a little awkward reaching back to grab a bottle. I guess it's just me and I need more time with the belt. Overall, this is by far the best belt I've found for a petite woman. The comfort is excellent and no rebound.
