Nathan Running Belt Pack. Lightweight Training Pack with Stretch Pocket. Marathon Belt/Fanny Pack. Bounce Free

I have always relied on Nathan products to equip my active running. I had an earlier version of this belt that had lasted many years, and only replaced it as the reflective decals were worn away and some of the Velcro was worn; Nathan designs these belts with quality material and if handled with care (I recommend you always launder it in a delicates mesh bag) it will last many years and hundreds of washes. The zippered pouch easily holds my phone and any ID I bring on my run. The front pouch closes via Velcro but I find one side ideal for a set of keys and the other for either a folded GU packet or (For night runs) a Nathan blinking light.

Everyone's needs are different - I just want to hold my phone (most are too small for my phone with case) a gel or two, and my house keys. The previous Nathan I had came close, but the neoprene connection to the straps started tearing out after just a few runs - the neoprene was just too soft to hold stitches with any stress on them. The solid fabric in this one solves that problem - it's the perfect size for my phone, keys, and a couple gels and fits snugly without bouncing. It took me five running belts to get here, but now I've found what I wanted.

Perfect. I have been going through running belt after running belt.. trying to find one that wears well, is comfortable and very usable. I run with mine every morning, and I like to carry my phone in there, with some keys and a little cash. Sometimes I even ball up a small grocery bag so that I can hit the market on the way home. This is the first belt of the 7 I've bought that works on all counts. It doesn't bounce, it's super comfortable, it fits everything I need, yet it still is not bulky. I wear it on my waist underneath my shirt, and I have at times had to lift my shirt or feel for it, to know it is still there. It's perfect. Highly recommended.

Took on trail runs, than ran a marathon with this pack. The good: comfortable fit. Loops for 4 gel packs. Plenty of space for phone and other small items. The bad: gels fell out on trial runs, needs gripping material inside gel loops (work around - put gels in upside down. I also used a small piece of tape for insurance, but probably did not need to) I use 5 gels per marathon, so one went in front pouch. Belt loosens during run, but I think they all do, at least in my 50+ marathons. Sometimes my arms nicked the gels (I wear it backwards while running) but not a problem. Plan to run my 5 marathons a year with this belt. Too early to comment on durability.

It is hard to find a running belt that holds my pixel 4XL with a case on it. This one not only fits my phone but it is easy to get in and out. I love it for hiking because I can quickly get to my phone for photos

Fits my iPhone 12 Mini perfectly, is comfortable and objects are secure and don't bounce around.Only improvement would be a hole for headphone cord, you can just close the zipper but this results the cord bending more than I'd like, I worry this could weaken it over time. I might poke a hole to fix this myself... or just upgrade to wireless earbuds.

Belt has many pockets to hold fuel, protection, sunglasses, etc. Took this with on my first marathon and it held everything I needed

Just what I've been waiting for! I've been using the Nathan 5k for distance races and it's too tight a squeeze to carry my iPhone 6 phone in its chunky case, car key and nutrition. This has plenty of room for the iPhone and has a divider to keep it separate from the key, and there's plenty of room for nutrition. (Now if someone would only make a single bottle hydration belt with a big enough compartment for the newer iPhones!) This is a big improvement over the 5k.
