UltraspireEssential Bottle Pack Hydration Belt

Edited after ordering my 3rd belt. 2nd belt actually lasted 2-3 years before the zipper broke—which I think is pretty good! This time, the zipper separated from the belt…probably due to me always putting my plus size phone in the pocket, zipping it up, and pulling the bungee cord tight. Worked my way through leakage problems by not putting cap in the dishwasher. This is probably the least bouncy designed belt I’ve tried. Changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars.Long term review here. I bought the belt because it could fit a plus-sized iPhone. The belt lasted almost a year before the zipper broke off. Although, the points at the top of the belt where the zipper and the bottle strap attach started to fray after only a few months. The fit of the belt was good, and it stayed in place well. Water in bottle would slosh around when the bottle was not full. You could squeeze air out to prevent sloshing, but then it was difficult to put the bottle back in its holder. Finally, the cap leaked slightly. I even bought another cap from Ultraspire, and it leaked too. I’m going to try a different belt next time.

This thing is great! I decided to go with this over Osprey, Nathan, and Ultimate Direction. Perfect for those 5-10 mile runs (for me). It holds my iPhone 7 Plus with the case, a couple gels, a key or two, and cards/cash (tight fit but you want it tight). There is basically no bounce. It fits very close and snug to the body. It’s very light and breathable; very comfortable to wear, even during a mid-day run in 80 degrees in Southern California. It looks like it’s made well and high quality so we’ll see how it holds up over time.**EDIT 10/15/20**I’ve owned this for roughly 6 months and wear it for almost every run. There is a small hole that has started to develop where the bottom of the water bottle (the corner, essentially) pushes up against my back. I do like the shape of the bottles so I’ll continue to use it as is... I have not contacted the company but I might. Regardless, this is still a solid product and has done well for over 500 miles.

I’ve tried many running water belts and can say that this one stands out as the best. The bottle shape nests in the small of my back, and the belt construction is lightweight. The zippered pocket holds my iPhone XR with enough room to spare for a tiny sunscreen tube and a house key.I’ve used the exterior bungee cord to hold a light shirt.My one complaint is that the buckle belt adjustment slips for me, so I’ve had to loop the belt around itself a few times to keep the belt tight.

Slim and lite weight.Pocket has difficulty fitting my phone Samsung GS22 Ultra.Bottle is decent.

The positives are, it works just fine! Light weight the water bottle feature is functional it hold my iPhone 7 Plus snug with a otter box case. I guess if I had any complaint is the bungees that hold your shirt loosens on its own while running but I guess that can be fixed by tying a knot. I just stopped using it but all in all I recommend this product

I ordered this to use while running. It does not stay in place and takes 2 hands to get the water bottle back in to it's pocket. I'll still use it for hiking, tho.

No bounce at all when I ran. Water carried in the bottle had not funky taste after being in it for 2 hours. Comfortable when wearing.

Good for the price. I’m happy with it.

Me encantó, lo utilizo para mis entrenamientos cortos, es practico, cómodo, resistente y amplio
