Review on ๐Ÿƒ Race Belt 5.0 by Ultimate Direction - Optimized Running Waist Belt for Enhanced Performance by Brad Schillings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The perfect solution for hydration on race day!

I have high demands on the chassis. Possibly incredibly high. So I can't tell you how many backpacks and belts I've tried and sent back or worn once and knew it was nasty. This belt is the closest I have ever had to being ideal for race days or trails where you have access to help stations or hydration caches to fill up! Style, fits well and without significant jump. Second, the bottles are easily accessible and (unlike other hydration belts) don't dig into my sides and back! Finally, I love the materials used and the perfectly sized hidden pocket. It holds my phone, keys, and snacks with no problem. It's minimal but fully functional at the same time! The only thing I can comment on is the way the strap wraps itself around the plastic mount where it is tightened. It's not a big problem. Actually, that's not a problem at all, but then again, I have a standard of excellence in this business! I would definitely recommend it and have already recommended it to others.

Pros
  • STORAGE: Holds two UD Body Bottle 500 v2 (included) and an iPhone 10 on the back. Separate compression straps add additional attachment points. Flat front with key pocket on waistband.
Cons
  • Some difficulties
