“I like it for the two pockets at the front of which one zips closed and the other I can keep a flapjack bar. There are two little pockets where I keep my nutrition pouches which can be held in place waiting to be used, one on each side of the front pockets. There is space for a small collapsible water bottle to the left of the pockets but I have not used it yet because the hydration vest is useful for this. I wear the bag at the front with my phone in the zip pocket. The free bottle is fine, has not leaked. Now I have adjusted the strapping to suit my waist it all works perfectly.”

“Brilliant running belt. Perfect amount of storage space for my requirements and so light you forget it is there. The non-slip section works really well. Looking forward to using it on the trails!”

“The features appear lightweight and functional. The build quality, however, may not hold up. I would be curious to know whether other runners have seen wear and tear after putting miles on this bag; for instance, do the mesh pouches on each side of the main compartment hold up to repeated stuffing and removing of water bottles and energy gels? The soft flask that came with this also feels cheaply made. It fell out of the waistbag early into my first run with it and immediately started to leak from under the lid. I'll need to revisit it to ensure it doesn't continue to happen, but I may end up using heavier-duty bottles/flasks with this belt.”

“Great solution for those runs where you need to carry a few essentials but a race best would be overkill. Plenty of room for a spare layer, gels and phone. The car key clip is also a great little touch. Not used the pole holders properly yet but on initial setup I would say this feature is not for me due to the bounce it'd generate. I can see these being of better use for stowing a waterproof or gloves, etc. The bottle storage takes some fettling/getting used to but once you've mastered it it's definitely the best solution for carrying fluids out on the trail.”

“I expected great things of this item as had had serious problems trying to replace my trusty ancient Eurohike money belt, whose main zip had broken after 20 years' use. I'm disappointed that it is not what it seems in your website advert: it is too baggy (contents rattle inside), has no useful and secure compartments for a phone, keys, money/credit card, the elasticated belt makes it bounce and it's impossible to tighten it enough to stop the bounce - the bag made its way past my hips to my knees when I took it running! Had to hold it with my hand to keep it in place for the rest of the run. I'm looking for the original packaging and will be returning it - very sorry. I would urge you to use sturdy and rigid straps instead of flimsy elastic in your designs, they are much easier to tighten and re-tighten securely. They will last longer, too. This applies to your Curbar 10L race vest as well. I've now seen other people's reviews... Whatever am I doing wrong? I fear if I keep overtightening the belt, the elastic will wear out within weeks. If you have an answer to my problem, please email me.”

Hi Barbara, I am not sure why you have had so many problems with this. It is stretchy fabric so it holds shape around things being carried, there is a key clip inside a smaller inner pocket in the main compartment, and the waist strap is elasticated because that gives a better hold/fit for when it's worn compared to those hard type ones which just ride up. The elastic is really not flimsy, we made it thick and wide to be comfortable and do feel like it is durable. If you need to speak to us I would ask you to email us rather than request it in a review so we can resolve any problems quickly because we never leave people hanging on when they are not happy with products. I have emailed you now anyway so hopefully you have received it. I am sorry you have been so disappointed in this product. Best wishes, Kate

“Treated myself to this for Christmas I have only used it once so far but the quality is excellent. I like the strips that stop it bouncing about it was a wet day when I tried it so I wore it under my coat. It will get a lot more outings soon where I can try it out.”

“Having not used a waistbag of this size before I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I'd previously used one just big enough for a phone. I initially had it on my hips but it seemed to bounce around a bit too much for my liking. (this may have been caused by the weight of a phone and gopro) I repositioned it to my waist, slightly higher up and the fit was great, no bounce. The flask fits great and had no issues removing it while running. Plenty of space inside and feels / looks quality too.”
