FlipBelt Classic Running Belt, Phone Holder for Running, Money Belt Pouch

I purchased this belt on the recommendation of a friend who swore that this was, in fact, the best running belt ever. EVER (she really did yell that part). Well, I am happy to report that she was correct. I ordered this in a size medium based on the chart because I fell somewhere in the middle of that and a small. I probably should have gone for the small, but no big deal. I actually just put one safety pin on each side, at the hip, and I'm totally good to go. I run anywhere from 6 to 20 miles on a given day and I have never lost anything, it is always comfortable, and stays where I put it. I wish I could say that about every single pair of stupidly expensive running tights I own, or the pinnies that always go places they aren't supposed to. I have had other running belts before and frankly, they end-up around my rib cage after less than a mile. Those are in a box in my closet. They are not the best running belt ever. I am known in my circle of friends for always carrying a small Nana purse that somehow has every single thing they could ever need inside of it. My purse is a little bit of a TARDIS probably. Need gum? I have gum. Need Pepto Bismol? I have that. Need dental floss, a Tide stick, sewing kit, a snack, or a hair elastic? I'm your girl. This belt is totally the Nana bag of running belts. I usually pack it with my iPhone (worn in the small of my back), my inhaler, 4-5 gels, my car and/or house key, Kleenex, dollars, and a thing of mace. All of this stuff fits, and nothing has ever fallen out. I choose not to flip the belt because well, bears. There are a lot of bears where I run and I really don't want to be messing with flipping my belt when I'm trying to look for mace and mostly not die from a bear mauling. Thankfully, I do know what to do in case of bears, and I have not ever been mauled by one, but I have lots of pictures taken with my easily accessible iPhone. Speaking of phones, my husband is always getting after me to bring my phone on long runs. This is something I didn't love doing because CHAFING. When that thing is strapped to my arm on a hot day I'm lucky if there's any skin left. There's not enough Body Glide in the universe when you have a gigantic iPhone strapped to your bicep, it's 80% humidity, and 86 degrees. FlipBelt=no skinless biceps, and a happy husband. Bottom line, this is a good product that does what it says it does. It fits well under clothing, it functions correctly, it carries lots and lots of items, and it does not end up around your rib cage or in places that it shouldn't be. Buy one!

This belt keeps your phone, keys, money, cards or whatever you can fit. Keeps item snuggly in the belt. Material is stretchy and belt is lightweight. I have similar belt that I bought at a marathon years ago. First one I’ve found to use as a backup to my old one.

This is has been a valuable alternative to the sweat / friction of my running vest, so that's 4 stars, but on a day to day run this is 3 stars. The sewing / material seems high quality, the openings are meant to be tight and secure, but because of the nature of running / bouncing things tend to fall out of the openings. Make sure to use the built-in key ring clip because my keys tend to find their way out of the openings, and you don't want to lose your keys. You will need to invest in soft flexible water bottles for this. I can't put my phone in this belt either, it fell out too much the first time. And on the other hand, the openings are small enough that I have trouble during runs trying to find the openings without looking, to pull water bottle in / out.

I am a very small lady. 4'11 to be exact, and weighing in at 105lbs. I am also a product junkie. I have and will try every kind of running gadget they have. I think I enjoy getting a new running toy, as much if not more than running itself. I purchased a small on because I would rather wear it would my hips vs, my stomach. It gets very hot in the Midwest, and I did not want to risk it rubbing around. I usually wear it around my hips over my shorts. After the whole back story this is my review. Pro: It fits a TON of stuff. I carry epi pen ( sometimes I stop and eat at my local pub, and don't want to die). inhaler, keys and my Samsung Galaxy s4 phone with an Otter Box. Then some GU. ( if you don't know what GU is I suggest you look it up right now) I normally take off the outer shell off and just left with the hard plastic body. I love that my phone fits into Flipbelt, because I hated wearing the armband. That totally sucks, when it is hot, or starts to cut off circulation from your arm because it is too tight. I can never find an armband that fits because I have such small twiggy arms. You can of course FLIP it so everything is secure and does not fall out. The belt itself has 4 opening so everything can fit around the frame. It comes with a cool little clip inside for your keys. I suggest EVERYONE use it when carrying keys. I did not, and guess what.. I lost them. I was lucky and found them after 45 min, but after a long run, that is the last thing you want to do. It is bigger than it looks, TRUST ME. I was very skeptical when I bought it, I thought nope no way is all my junk going to fit into that tiny little thing. It does.. it really does, with room to spare. Color choices are AWESOME !! Cons: They do run small. I almost ordered an x-small only because of the size of my frame, but decided not to. I am so glad I ordered a small. The belt does not have compartments, and when you put stuff in sometimes things get bunched up together. When you fit everything inside the belt and then put on a compression shirt on it looks like you have a really messed up muffin top, where the fat won't move around. Cleaning : I always ALWAYS hand wash this and let it air dry. I do this about every three or four runs, or if it is extremely hot I do it as soon as I get home. I have had it about 3 months and it does not smell funky yet, so it must be working. Overall: I would ABSOLUTELY buy this again, and recommend this to all of my running friends. I actually would like another one in a super fun bright color. I have received so many compliments on this because people I know still have fanny packs, little clippy belts, arm bands or something that looks like it is from the 1980's.. all yucky. Not to mention all those things are sweat collectors in the summer, and no one and I repeat NO ONE likes to be chaffing in the summer. . This is made of breathable materials and a dream.

The flipbelt classic fit well and stays on relatively well. I also bought the 6 oz water for it but that was a bit bulky. This one does not have a zipper so you need to slide your phone, and gels into these slits which are sometimes not the easiest to access. That being said it held my keys in well and is better than my armband used to be for balance. I would recommend this to anyone at least semi-serious in running.

Fantastic product! I've had this for about a month and it is really helpful. I am able to carry my iPhone XS with a case on it, my keys (which have a cord & hook attached to the belt so your keys will not fall out), and a few cards if need be. Whether I choose to walk or run, it doesn't make a difference. Everything stays put As far as sizing goes, I have between a 34-36 waist & I'm 6'3". FlipBelt recommends that I order a large, but I tried on a large in a store and it felt uncomfortably tight. I ordered an XL it's a great fit. Nice & snug without feeling like it's too tight. If you're on the high end of FlipBelts sizing chart I would recommend going to the next size up. As a side note, I wear this just below my hips and I am slightly "rumpalicous" and my backside is a tad "bubblier" than many guys my size so that may affect how the belt fits me Update: 3/23/19: Still an awesome product and really well made. I'm able to smoothly fit my iPhone XS Max, with a slim Otterbox case, and it stays securely inside. What I wrote a couple of months ago is still true, that if you have larger hips or a bubble butt, you can go a size larger and the belt will stay above your hips just fine. Even though I've lost over 30lbs & on my way to 40, and I'm down almost 2 pant sizes, the larger belt still fits well. What I wrote earlier still applies, that if you're near the high side of FlipBelts sizing chart and you have larger hips or a bigger butt, go to the next size up Since I began wearing the belt I prefer it to sit just below my waist, right at my hips & slightly on my butt, and for the most part it stays there. Over the past couple of months I've been getting my 6 miles of fast walking in everyday and the belt does really well. Over this past week, though, I've transitioned to running for almost a mile of that, and combined with my weight loss the belt does not stay where I'd like it and I must wear it around my waist or it will fall off. But it still works fantastically and I would absolutely buy it again just 1 size smaller

EDIT: after a few months of use, I'm dropping my rating to 3 stars. Honestly this just isn't worth the money at all, and I'd recommend any cheap, adjustable belt with a zipper over this. Even two of those (which is how I often run) is better than this. I *really* wanted to like the FlipBelt. But the water bottles constantly fall out, the phone fits weird, my KEYS fell off of the (very poor-quality) plastic key clip (I'm really grateful I heard them hit the ground). And honestly you just can't adjust this thing...and there are no zippers, it's not waterproof...I don't really know what else to say. The concept is great, especially with the form-fitting bottles, but it doesn't deliver. My runs are so much better with just a cheap belt or two instead of this. The only way I can see this being the belt for you is if you absolutely must have 20+ ounces of water on your waist and don't need to carry phone/keys. Original review: I decided to write a comprehensive review for the FlipBelt, as I agonized and spent tons of time researching and trying other products before pulling the trigger here. Others may find my experience helpful. I have used the belt for three runs now--one 3mi, one 2.5mi, and one 6.5mi, in that order (I don't normally carry water on the shorter ones, and I don't need 11oz on the 6.5, but I carried it just for testing purposes). In my picture you'll see the FlipBelt with bottle on the left, and the other belts I talk about in my review on the right. My final thought (putting first so you don't have to read everything): while it's not perfect, no belt is in my experience. I give this five stars because it allows me to carry more water comfortably on a longer run, which is what's most important in my book and the reason I made this investment in the first place. On its own, without the special water bottle, this belt is not only too expensive, but I find it actually less functional than my other, cheaper, basic belts. If you need to carry many, many things while running, then maybe you'd feel differently. To the review: I have experience using two cheap, adjustable, single-pocket running belts prior to buying the FlipBelt, and I’m going to review here while sort of comparing to my experience(s) with those (see picture for what I’m comparing). Those belts were each 10 bucks and could carry a phone and a key *or* a very small, 6oz water bottle. If I all I need is my phone and a key, I take my favorite cheap belt. If I need to add 6oz water to a run, I add the second belt, and I keep the phone on one hip and the bottle on the other. I can also slip a granola bar or whatever in one of these belts no problem. That system works for me. Neither of those cheap options could do more than that in my experience. I tried a standard (16.9oz) bottle in the one that could even fit that, and no matter where I placed it on my hip or back, the bottle would bounce WAY too much. And I didn’t really have an option for something in between, but I suspect the same would be true if I tried. 6oz is really the max there in my experience. The factors that are important to me that I’ll be talking about: 1) fit, 2) feel, 3) water-holding capacity, 4) other notes. Here goes: 1) Fit So, I *don’t* love that the FlipBelt isn’t adjustable. I realize that the design negates that possibility. But my waist size can fluctuate depending on time of year and/or what I’m doing fitness-wise, and I am always messing around with size on my other adjustable belts. Just feels better to me when I can dial in the size whenever I want. With the FlipBelt, if I need another size, I need to buy ANOTHER belt and hope it works. I wear pants with a 36in waist, and I bought the large (32”-35”) here, and I’m glad I did. Fits snugly. Still feels less comfortable than my other belts (a little bulky, a little tight-feeling), but it works. 2) Feel I *need* my phone to be in a certain place on one hip, and I *need* my water so be in a certain place on my other hip in order to run comfortably. It’s a delicate balance for me, and it distracts and bothers me if the balance feels off. I appreciate in my other, two-belt system that I can get that perfect every time. The FlipBelt allows that—sort of. I have found so far that I spend the first ½-1 mile in a constant state of adjustment, trying to get the feel just right, moving the bottle and/or phone around the best I can until the balance feels right. It’s not a huge problem, but something I have to dial in as I go. On my first run, the water bottle (which I had to buy separately for another $10) actually fell out of the belt twice within the first mile. I’ve since learned how to get it stuck in there just-so, and it hasn’t happened since, but the fact that it happened at all shows me that the open-entry-point design does leave that possibility of things falling out, where a zipper-design would not. For me, putting the water bottle at the small of the back does NOT work. It was bouncy and unworkable. This could be a function of my waist size vs. the belt size, or just my body type, but it’s something to be aware of. If you and your body can make it work, I can say that this position is the most comfortable feeling while at rest and I kinda dream about it working someday for me. Just doesn’t work while running for me. On my hip, it’s totally fine, snug to my body, and no bounce. For me, that’s remarkable for 11oz of water. And the phone: it’s fine…my case (just a standard plastic/rubbery protective case) creates friction, which is probably a good thing for keeping it from falling out, but it makes it not super easy to get it in and out if I need to do that mid-run. My other cheap belt is easy, I just unzip and pull it out. This takes effort and logistical trickery, which I don’t love while trying to focus on the road, but it’s not a dealbreaker or anything. By the way, it’s an iPhone 7, nothing special. If I had a huge phone, this could be problematic. 3) Water-holding capacity This is why I bought the Flip-Belt, and it is really the ONLY function I truly like and prefer to other belts (but probably the MOST important). I wanted to be able to carry more water and still feel comfortable. I don’t like running with a hydration pack (for me, it’s fine for hiking, but I don’t like running that way), and I need that function in a belt. The bottle design is fantastic for the small of the back (which doesn’t work for me, but that may just be me). It’s fine for the hip. Not perfect (could use more curve for me), but 1000x better than any other water bottle. It slides in and out with ease. The cap opens and closes a little tough, but that’s actually probably good in that it won’t randomly open and leak water all over me. I like the bottle, I like that I can carry 11oz of water and still feel comfortable. 4) Other notes The little key clip thing is necessary in this belt, and I’m glad it has it. Otherwise, my key would go flying into a ditch because of the open entry points. It’s not water-resistant and soaks up moisture. Just a lot of fabric here. My other belts are mostly a utilitarian elastic strap with one pocket, and I have rarely (ever?) felt the need to wash them. This thing already needs a good wash. Cost: it’s an investment. Whatever. In the end, probably worth it if you need to carry more than 6oz water and you have at least one long run per week. Looks: it’s a cool-looking belt. Sleek and stylish. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but it was nearly $40 for the belt and water. I would NOT appreciate this belt without the water bottle. You can just get the same or actually better function elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. But the water option was important to me, and this really does do the trick.

Easy to use, comfortable, pockets are excellent and belt stats in place. Love it

Good quality product. Though I had some product related issue like figuring the size. So I went for precise size. Now belt suits snugly on my waist and I think : maybe I should have taken 1 size up...

Perfect for runners and definite must have! So comfortable you hardly know it's there.

Parfait. Ne bouge pas. Très pratique. Les grands téléphones entrent aussi.

Don't notice you are wearing it! I bought this for running so that I could carry my items like my keys and mobile phone (I use a running App to monitor distance, pace, time etc but don't get on with the arm bands!). This stayed in place perfectly and I genuinely forgot I was wearing it. I have an iphone 5s and this fits comfortably with still plenty of space and a bulky set of car and house keys and despite the little bit of weight I felt no movement! I was unsure about sizing due to other reviews but I am petite with a 26inch waist so went for the XS and it was true to size. I think the S would have been to big and may have moved a little however I would say this would be fine for a size 8-10. Great product!

Buen producto, tiene buen material y si te todo al correr no lastima y no te hace sudar, lo puedes poner bajo la playera y no se ve. 10/10
