Review on FlipBelt Zipper Acrylic Summer Small by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only comfortable running belt

I was hesitant to buy this because of the price but I'm glad I did. I already tested it yesterday by running a few miles with my iPhone 8 Plus in a zip pocket and it didn't jump at all. I'm a guy with a waist 32 and size Large fits perfectly; tight enough to hold things in place but not so tight that it gets in the way. I compared a few other models before settling on this one. Here are some of the reasons I chose it over the rest: Comfort This belt is made of polyester and lycra and has no rough edges to chafe against the skin, so it can be worn under clothing. Appearance I bought a solid black color that goes with almost everything I run. It pairs well with my solid black running shorts and thanks to the slick material it can be worn under clothing to avoid the nerdy fanny pack of some belts. Security Given the cost of my phone, I'm more comfortable with the Zip model. I also like the little key strap built into one of the pockets to keep keys safe. I also think it is possible to prevent possible theft by hiding the strap under clothing along with the phone and valuables. After a 35 minute run, the side of the strap that was pressed against my skin was slightly damp but seemed to wick moisture fairly effectively. I haven't noticed any sign of moisture getting on my phone or case. Overall I'm very happy I bought this strap and I think it will make running more comfortable as I don't have to carry my phone in my hand like I used to. House keys, credit cards and a small snack can also be stowed away here, perhaps even without bulky clothing.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
