does the job. good for me

I like it! It fits my iPhone 7 Plus and hardly changes position. I like that it's made of a thicker material, it's almost supportive.

Pros
  • The belt is easily adjustable to fit your waist perfectly.
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt may not be able to accommodate larger items such as water bottles or groceries.

Comfortable strap! Definitely recommend!

Very roomy belt! My cell phone fits in perfectly. I wouldn't say it's waterproof. I put my phone/keys in a Ziploc bag before using the strap. Even when it's not raining, there's moisture inside and I want to make sure my valuables don't get ruined. If you are on the border between two sizes, choose the smaller one. Now it fits well but I have a feeling it might stretch a bit and be too big.

Pros
  • Precisely
Cons
  • Pockets are not easily accessible while driving

Well designed and comfortable.

Haven't used it yet but when I tried it on. it was convenient. The material is good, stretches moderately. I feel like it ran a little more than I measured. I reordered a size smaller but it had a different fabric that felt more like mesh than smooth, which I didn't like that much. The first fabric resembled swimwear material. You can enlarge the pictures and see the difference.

Pros
  • The material used is strong and durable, ensuring the belt will last many times.
Cons
  • The belt may chafe or irritate unprotected skin.

holds everything: my review

It's great - it has two zipped pockets which I use for keys and when I need to carry cash or a debit card. There are two large flap pockets, one of which I use for my old iPhone SE. I bought a large size and wear it at waist level and it doesn't move when I run.

Pros
  • Fits great so far. Comparable with more expensive Flip Belt. The only problem is that larger phones won't fit in your pocket.
Cons
  • You get what you pay for (cheaper) velcro and more pockets for not much more than $ to pull this off could be really nice

Pockets too small for my Samsung 10

In fact, Zipster promised to "fit most widescreen smartphones" - that was the main reason I bought it, so my phone would be easily accessible but at the same time secure when camping. Unfortunately the pockets are too small and my Samsung 10 doesn't fit in. I almost lost my cell phone today. I want the company to be honest and not trick customers into buying a product that doesn't do what it promises.

Pros
  • Zippered pockets keep your belongings safe and secure.
Cons
  • The belt may not stay in place during activity, causing distraction or discomfort.

Excellent carrier

The first time I wore them was my first half marathon. As there was water on the route, all I needed to bring was my phone (iPhone 7), ID and some fuel (two squeeze bags of baby food). Everything fits perfectly, there is space. No bouncing. For the record, I have a 28" waist and 36" hips and bought the small one. It wasn't very tight but it stayed in place and I forgot it was there. While it claims to be water-resistant, it's definitely not sweat-resistant. My phone and ID were a bit wet, even…

Pros
  • Cool it was perfect and it's perfect for jogging
Cons
  • The belt lost stretch after a month. The pockets are large but difficult to reach. I stopped using this belt.

Too hot :( .... the best in my rating

This product is good, but it is very thick and hot to wear. I bought this for my insulin pump and am currently in a fairly humid climate and it became uncomfortable fairly quickly due to the material. Still a good product, just not a hit with me.

Pros
  • The strap is water-resistant to keep your stuff dry
Cons
  • The belt may cause discomfort or breathing difficulties.

It would be better if the pockets were a little bigger

I really like this belt, but the tailoring started to diverge after less than 6 months. Also, be careful when claiming that it fits your phone. It does. but without a phone case, and who doesn't use a phone case?

Pros
  • Great fit and feel
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt is not suitable for all body types.

Perfect running belt for small essentials.

I had a hipster running belt before I discovered Zipster. They are identical except for the zippers on the two Zipster bags. I prefer the Zipster because of the two zippered pockets. Holds some valuable items even more securely. I even bought a magnetic "Buddy Pouch" that holds a small water bottle, and I often attach it to my Zipster. .

Pros
  • The belt is versatile and can be used for different activities.
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt may not adjust to body position.

great product in my opinion

I use it for running and it works great. It stays in place and doesn't move. Comfortable. I agree with other reviewers that if you're in between sizes, order a size down. Plenty of room for stuff - phone keys, snacks etc and I even brought a small flashlight for night runs. Nothing has fallen out or been lost.

Pros
  • everything OK. was sent faster than I imagined. very good
Cons
  • Pockets may not hold enough items for longer runs or activities.

Perfect for the iPhone!

This product is amazing! I used to wear my phone on my armband, but that's a million times better. I can also deposit my car keys and my money there. It stays where I put it and doesn't move even over long distances. Highly recommended for runners!

Pros
  • The belt is stylish and adds the finishing touch to any tracksuit.
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt can cause uneven weight distribution or imbalance during exercise.

Runs small, phone doesn't fit in pockets.

Runs small if you want to wear it around your hips instead of your waist. The zip pockets don't fit my iPhone X, I really have to stretch them to fit. Be careful if you have a big phone!

Pros
  • It is suitable for all iPhone, Android, Samsung and other smartphones.
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt may not be sufficiently adjustable to accommodate individual preferences.

Lots of storage space for long distances

In this package fit 6 gels, 2 packs of chewing gum, iPhone 7 and passport (international marathon). The side pockets were a little hard to hit while running, but part of that was probably due to fatigue. The zip pockets are weatherproof so you can throw in a few pills too. This is definitely my long-term path from now on!

Pros
  • Excellent quality. Peace of mind when traveling through tourist areas.
Cons
  • The belt can cause crushing or crushing

Works great!: my review

I love this product! I wear size 12/14 and had to return size XL because it was too loose to stay in place while running. L was perfect. It easily holds my phone with a case. I also have a POPwallet so it's a little tight, but I'm just thrilled that it fits. (iPhone 11 pro for those interested).

Pros
  • The belt is also comfortable to wear for a long time.
Cons
  • Bags may not be comfortable to wear against the skin.

it's ok my rating

I don't know why companies claim their product fits in a smartphone when in fact my droid barely fits - I can't think of anything bigger that's so popular with kids these days. In terms of width (like top to bottom) I'd say it's a bit narrow and shifts when I try to wear it on my hips, which I prefer, although it's fine on my natural waist . Everything OK. i will use it But I would come up with something else the next time I shop.

Pros
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt is easy to pack and doesn't take up much space in your luggage.
Cons
  • Bags can be difficult to see in low light or at night.

Don't stay on your hips

Before purchasing this belt I read various reviews online and here on Revain. I was disappointed that the belt didn't stay on my hips for me. It rides up my waist and makes a fuss. Also, it's a bit difficult to get the phone in and out of the zippered pocket. I also don't like that I have to stretch it so much to put it on and take it off. I have a feeling it will extend from just this one action. I like the concept, it just doesn't suit me.

Pros
  • It has multiple zipped pockets that provide secure storage for all your essentials.
Cons
  • The belt can cut off blood flow and cause discomfort or numbness.

I like this belt, in my opinion

It's perfect for running/exercising and rarely slips off your hips. I think it stretches a bit with constant use so I might have to scale down next time. For reference I ordered L, I'm 5ft 3in and about 145lbs. I have wide hips and wanted to sit comfortably on my hips. If you sweat a lot this strap is not fully waterproof but it does keep the contents dry for most of my workouts/runs.

Pros
  • Ideal for people who like to travel light
Cons
  • The belt may rub or chafe on other clothing or equipment.

Great running belt

I wear mine to run. At first I was frustrated when my phone didn't fit in a zip pocket with a case. And then one day I noticed the hidden pockets between the zip pockets! 🤦🏼‍♀️ They hold my phone perfectly! I'm 5ft 3 in 140 and ordered honey. It sits perfectly on my hips and stays in place. I love it so much I've ordered another one for a friend!

Pros
  • So comfortable to wear. Ideal for any activity. I like that there are two separate pockets.
Cons
  • The phone will not fit in a pocket and is not adjustable. I was hoping it would at least match the phone!

Too small for a phone in a case, may scratch the phone

Just a running belt and not used yet. Soft and seems comfortable to wear. The reason for giving Nathan Zipster 3 stars is that it will support iPhones and Droids. I have 11pro. The biggest iPhone. I have a full case on it (the minimum case) and it doesn't fit in the largest case. I have to take it out of the case, then it will fit. It's not good anymore. In addition, you put it in a case and the zipper is covered with soft material on the outside. Inside where your phone is, the zipper rubs…

Pros
  • fits and works great
Cons
  • The Nathan Zipster running belt may not be strong enough for prolonged use.

Great to start my review.

Large! The zip pockets are great for a small thin wallet and keys. I use a different case for my larger iPhone 10 in an otter case. My phone doesn't fit in a zip pocket. That's not a problem as the other pockets are safe and secure because they have some sort of bottom and top pocket that keeps things safe!

Pros
  • This thing is awesome, I forgot it was on.
Cons
  • Pockets cannot securely hold items which may result in them falling out during activity.
