Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not what Nathan used to be - Qualith Lost

This is my second belt that hasn't worked for me in over a year. My wife and I have used the same Nathan running belt for almost 20 years - we both use it daily and she runs way more than - I run 4 miles a day - she runs 8-10. Because their runs sometimes occur. If I want to run, I've decided that I'll buy my own belt. Bought this belt - noticed immediately the materials had changed - the stretchy neoprene was thinner and overall seemed much less durable than the old belt we have. Then it didn't work for 6 months. Revain replaced it and now it's out of service again. Disappointed that such a great product has lost its quality. The original belt we have is still in great condition. I like it. The modern version is a cheap disposable item in comparison. The photos below show two bags. Black is new, blue is almost 20 years old. I understand that a company needs to cut costs to make money, but quality should never be compromised. I walk an average of 4 miles a day and only carry my iPhone with me - nothing else. They shouldn't fall apart that quickly.
