Review on 🎒 Stay Organized on Your Runs: PakRat Running Belt Waist Pack - Securely Holds Phone, Money, Keys - Perfect for Jogging, Exercise or Travel by Mark Dahmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great idea. for running

I really like PakRat. It appears to be marketed towards women but I am 63 and decided to give it a try as I already have and use a flip belt while the shogun uses a flip belt. The PakRat is different in that I can fold the top half of the strap and essentially lock my stuff inside. As a phone I have a Samsung Note 8 and it suits PakRat perfectly. I use PakRat as my daily gear to store my keys, wallet and phone. I haven't run with PakRat (alternating between Flip Belt and Shogun) so I can't comment on how it is in that regard, but if I use it I know it will work fine for me if I use it while running would have to use . I use another phone (cheap) for running and also when I work out at the gym. I'll get another PakRat to be able to rotate the straps like I did with the other two straps I mentioned. My waist is about 31 inches and I bought the medium one and it fits me perfectly. Update: 9/30/18 Everything I said in my original review still applies. PakRat performed well and I didn't make a single mistake. I've only used it on a few runs because I used different phones for my run. Since switching to the iPhone XI, I've started using different Android phones for my runs and workouts, but now that I've switched to the iPhone XS Max, PakRat has taken on a bigger role. I mean it seems like the PakRat is made for big phones, it fits perfectly and definitely holds my XS Max securely. Also, unlike other straps, there are no seams to come loose from overuse (I haven't experienced that, but with a $1,000 phone I don't want to risk it. I bought another PakRat and will keep checking availability ). this belt is available at a discount, but it's still worth it at full price. This belt is my daily companion as I use it all the time even if I'm just lounging around the house, shopping for groceries or whatever. Nice job and definitely a great idea!
