Summary

Flip belt is an essential piece of gear for holding your phone and fuel. I like the zipper pocket for my valuables and small items and the easily accessible slit pockets are great for gels, blocks and a key attachment.

Flip belt is an essential piece of gear for holding your phone and fuel. I like the zipper pocket on this one for my phone (Samsung S20 Ultra- Fits easily), license, debit card and chapstick. The easy to access slit pockets store my gels, blocks and a key chain attachment kept my car key available but safe. The quality is fantastic with great seems, no damage after 2 years including regular washing in the machine. I appreciate the lightweight feeling that does not seem to capture heat. Does not cause chaffing.

Experience

I have used this flip belt for hundreds of miles in training runs as well as several marathons and a 50k. All with immense appreciation for the simplicity and minimalist feeling. I have tried the previous version of Flip belt without the zipper and was not able to fit a larger phone in the slit pockets even though I occasionally lost a gel pack when I pulled one out another one fell. This happened with the newer zipper pocket version as well. I have tried several other Belts/waist packs and the biggest problem seems to be the belt itself doesn't stay in place well. Additionally, the top of the belt seems to cut into my skin if it moves above my pant line. The soft rounded edges of the flip belt don't cause any digging.
