FlipBeltClassic Running Belt for Phone and Small Accessories, Exercise Waist Pouch for Women and Men, S, Reflective Neon Yellow

I took a long time to take the plunge to buy this belt but I'm now glad I did. My concerns were probably like most of you, would my precious I-pod, 'phone and house keys be safe? The answer is an emphatic yes. My covered Sony Z2 fits with no problem as does my I-pod classic 160Gb. A key can be hooked in by a tethered retainer. I find the material to be good. I've yet to wash the belt but will look out for shrinkage or colour fade. The manufacturer makes an issue of the performance and robustness of the material and contrasts this against that used by its competitors. Time will tell. Please note the reflective chevrons feature on one side only and if you flip the belt so that the access slits face inwards, you lose the reflective capability. That said, I have not found the need to use the belt in this way. Lastly size. Being a slim person, my default is usually small size. I opted for medium and find it sits comfortably without moving when running 🏃.

Works well

Great fitting belt, but huge design flaw is that after you have put in your keys etc., when you flip it over all of the reflective strip is then on the INSIDE and therefore no use at all in low light conditions. The reflective model is dearer than standard, too. Cannot understand why manufacturer didn't just make strips double sided.

Can carry tissues keys and iPhone comfortably and without bouncing around during a run. Reflective strips also a good feature

I was keen to get a flipbelt having read lots of positive reviews online but it just doesn’t do it for me. The sizing is on the small side and offers no adjustment. The pockets are held by groups of stitches which feel strained with phone etc inside. The reflective pattern only works if you don’t FLIP it. The pockets ‘unflipped’ gape and offer no security at all (except for the key clip).There are better, cheaper running belts out there
