CamelBak Flash Belt 17oz

Lo mejor en cinturoes, lastima que no siguieron con el modelo

Don't believe what you read on the competition. They *SAY* one size fits all, but - at least from what I've seen - it's only this one that does what it says on the tin.I wear a 40" short, and this fits me comfortably. When researching my purchase I wasn't able to find anything else that would fit me without being at the absolute upper end of it's range.Comfort wise, it tends to be a TINY bit bouncy when I fit set off. Literally, after the first sip of water it settles down and I don't even notice it's there any more. This is really helped, I think, by the dual waist straps that help get it cinched down.Capacity - the single 17oz bottle is good, doubly so given the tiny bounce noted above. If it were any larger it wouldn't be comfortable. If I wanted more I think I'd want a vest style carrier to keep it stable.I like the storage. No complaints on size at all - I don't want to carry much. Just a set of keys and perhaps a gel. Definitely not an oversized phone.Final comment - I've had no issues at all with removing or replacing the bottle while on the move.

I’ve tried a handful of hydration packs and belts and this one has been my favorite by far. It fits very comfortable and doesn’t bounce or come loose on my runs. I almost forget I am wearing it sometimes! The most I run is 6 miles so the 17 oz bottle is perfect. The only reason I took away a star is because once you put the belt on it does not fit my iPhone XS with its case on. However it fits my keys and external charger, which is perfect for me since I usually carry my phone in my hand using the aid of a phone loop. If you’re not worried about the pocket space I would say definitely give this hydration belt a try! Love it!!

The bottle is a good size and easy to use; one-way valve works well, and doesn’t easily leak, even if you leave it briefly open, by accident. When properly tightened, bottle “bounce” is minimized, and not distracting. Zippered pocket easily holds a good amount of protein gel or small bars for energy / re-fueling. Also works fine for holding phone and keys, if you don’t want to use an armband or place in pockets. Stuffing too full makes the pouch become noticeably puffed out, such that your arm may brush it when running, so better to just bring the bare minimum in there. Clips securely, and after tightening, the ends of the straps are held neat and tidy with small bands that keep them from flapping. All in all, a pretty slick product — I’m glad I bought it.

I've had numerous bottle carrier belts for running over the last 14+ years, mostly Camelbak brand but some others. This one is my about my second favorite. This belt places the bottle at the closest to horizontal position of all the belts that I've used, and it really helps to keep the bottle from bouncing up and down compared to all the other belts I've used - as long as I have the belt tight enough. Unfortunately this position also makes it easier for the bottle to fall out compared to a belt with a more vertical bottle, so the elastic band is needed to keep it secure. And that band is the weak point - it stretched out and deformed within a month (see photo). It still holds, but I need to be sure that it is correctly placed, because it's easy to think it's slipped on the nozzle of the bottle when it has actually slipped off the edge of the bottle cap. Camelbak should make this band out of better quality material, or at least make them replaceable, like by using snaps on each end of the band.The belt straps can slip in the plastic strap adjusters. On a previous model Camelbak had a cam on the buckle that could be locked down, preventing the straps from slipping - they should put that feature on every belt they offer. If you only use this for walking or slow jogging, it should be okay, but if you're running at a decent pace you might have to tighten the straps at least once a run.The bottle that comes with the belt is okay, but I wish it was larger in size, like 21 or 24 ounces. Sometimes when putting it back in the belt it doesn't quite want to fit right until I twist it forward or backward a bit, then it's fine.I hand wash my belt after each run with Hex Sports Wash, otherwise it gets smelly/mildewy.Make sure you clean the bottle regularly, especially if you're running in 70+ degree weather, and especially if you use a sports drink mix.

I bought this so that I could have my electrolytes with me without having to hold a water bottle. I have worn it on a few runs now. Once I got the straps tightened to the correct level everything was great. It does bounce a little which is to be expected carrying a water bottle on your waist but it is not bad. The little pocket fits my iPhone 10 and a gel packet. I suspect I could also fit another gel or a key or something in there as well but haven’t tried. The water bottle is really great, no leakage at all. Overall I am very happy with my purchase!

Great for the long, brisk walks I take. To clear up a few things others have said... All straps are easy to adjust and there are plenty of small bands to hold the excess so they don't flop around. Also, the water bottle holder will hold round water bottles other than the one supplied, as long as they are not too wide. The only real negative is that the pocket won't really hold a modern phone to play your tunes as it's too small, mostly just good for keys or a flashlight if going out in the dark.

I use it when running 4-6 miles in 90 degree weather with heat indexes around 105. It’s just enough to get me through those runs. I pull it pretty tight and it doesn’t bounce. It does require a bit of spatial understanding to reach while running. I love it though.
