The middle snap button ripped the first time that I used the belt. I feel it is a poor design.

Great capacity to fit water bladder, phone, gels… everything desired for that long outing. Needs a few tweaks for an even better experience: how about a clip to secure a key ring? The whole system is still bouncy when carrying water in the large pouch; needs an extra strap that would attach to upper part of compartment to secure it more firmly. I wear the belt on my back, and the extra support would firmly attach it against the back and eliminate bounce. Overall, a great product that can be made even better.

Great waist pouch, with plenty of space for a phone, satnav, water bottle and a light weight waterproof jacket. Fits comfortably and remained tight with no irritating bounce/movement on the body.

A nice size for carrying a rain coat, snacks, water and whatever else you need. My main criticism is the belt and buckle are flimsy and move plus there could be a pocket dedicated to your car keys as I spend half my run checking my keys are ok. It's a good bit of kit though and an upgrade on what I had.

Very good. Does not bounce as promised. Fits essentials like keys, wallet, phone easily for short outings and does not bother even when the pocket is not full. For slightly longer outings also fits packable windjacket or rain jacket, etc. Light enough to forget that the belt is in place and with the narrow buckle can also be worn for cycling and not just walking and running.

Comfy to wear. Not tried it with a soft flasks yet but I believe when carrying full kit the pressure on the flasks makes it leak. Did manage to get full kit in it though

I've found this very comfortable to wear, almost no bounce. The pocket for an Ultraflask works well and the side pockets are useful for bits and pieces on the move. The main compartment is roomy although a pocket within it for my phone would have been good. I have had a number of waist packs over the years and this is easily the best.

The only problem is that the flask will leak water if squeezed enough by the pack. This is especially a problem when the pack is full and you're trying to get the flask out for a drink.

This belt well made and it is a good for hiking but not for running. It is bounce and hard to reach the pocket to get the stuffs. I moved the pouch to the front which make bounce more.

Great product for a quick trail or mountain run if your out for a few hours, saves me having to have a running vest empty with just hydration and a waterproof, massive wish list would be a separated phone zip compartment but only a wish
