Ultimate Direction Jurek Essential Waist Pack

The product description for this pack says the waterproof pocket can be used for phones. That alone caused me to drop one star. The pocket itself is mostly waterproof. Just this morning, I went on an hour run with a temp of 80 F and 85% humidity, and with my work badge in the pocket. The badge was dry. My Galaxy S9 with no case stretched the pocket nearly to the point of ripping, and it was work to get the phone in. If you use any kind of phone case, forget about it. A smaller iPhone might fit, but not the more recent larger versions. If you have an old school flip phone, you're set with this thing, though.However, if you plan to use this like I did - for a work badge, ID, gels, keys, etc., or as a supplement to a vest - this pack is a great accessory given the price. The fit is great and highly adjustable with decent strap management. The materials are non-abrasive (especially if you're wearing a shirt), and hallelujah, it does not ride up, though this may vary depending on how much weight you have in it. It doesn't exactly repel sweat, but it doesn't really absorb it either. It dries pretty quickly if you give it decent airflow. It will dry in a few minutes if you put it in front of a fan. It's also very lightweight.If you're going light or need a supplement to another setup such as a vest, this is a great addition.

If I had purchased this just for cash, energy gels or bars and keys, this would have received a five star rating from me. Well made and light as promised. However, my iPhone 6s is a little over 5 1/2" in length and a little over 2 3/4 inches in width in its case, and does not fit in the waterproof pouch. It squeezes into the expandable mesh pouch, but the zipper will scratch the side of the case as you struggle to squeeze it in, and should you finally achieve getting it in, will scratch the top of your case ...if ...you manage to zip it. I purchased this specifically to protect my phone from rain. The pockets, their dimensions as advertised would have fit my iPhone 6s, however the shape of the pockets are not rectangles uniformly in their depth and width... and they narrow to a V type shape as the pocket descends. The measurement and shape of the pouch dwindles dramatically halfway into the depth. The tops of the pockets are those dimensions advertised, but the the pocket shape dwindles in width about a third to halfway down. I now have had to purchase a waterproof bag with a neck lanyard which fits to the shape of the phone and it's measurements without a struggle. Even a struggle wouldn't end up a success story with these pouches and my phone. The waterproof pouch does however fit and protect my iPod. Excellent win there. For this and other small items I take on my walks or runs...perfect.

I have tried a few cheaper brands of waist packs but I realized that I needed one that would be comfortable for longer runs as I am training for my first half marathon. I tried the Ultimate Direction Access Waist Pack but had to return it because the pouch was too small to fit a smart phone. I was trying to decide between this one and the Ultimate Direction Women's Meow Waistpack. I picked this one because the separate compartments appealed to me as I did not want to fumble in a large pouch for what I was looking for. I am glad I did. For my needs, I fit a Samsung Galaxy S4 with a rubberized case snugly in one pouch, chomps in one, and the small pouch was great for my keys. I am planning on putting a small compact camera in the pouch as my first half marathon will be Disney World and I want to capture running through the castle.I ran my first 10 miles ever and this did not bounce or bother me much. I cannot say this is the perfect waist pack but for my needs, it worked very well. However, I will say that if you are running long istances, it is worth spending a little extra money on a waist pack.

One of my best buy this year!It is very very light and I can barely feel the waist pack when I run with it. It does not bounce at all while I run.The front small porch is perfect for credit card/ATM card and some cash with my door key.The black compartment is "sweatproof" and fit perfectly with my 4.7 inches LG Optimus G. It should be barely big enough for a 5 inches screen phone but should be a bit tight (I do not have one so unable to test it).The grey compartment is flexible, you can put 4-5 packs of gel in it, or a small windbreaker (those you can squeeze it to a size of a fist).There is two simple bib clips at the front so you can use it as a racebelt.Awesome design, love it!

This belt is sturdy and comfortable and will work if all you want to carry is a set of keys and credit card.The reviews were mixed, some said it will fit an iphone 6s and others said it doesn't fit. I can confirm that it does not fit, at least not if you have any kind of case on it. and without a case I wouldn't use it because the zipper would scratch up the phone. So I will continue to look for a belt large enough to carry a phone.

I love this little pack, and I love that half of it is waterproof so I don't have to remember a ziplock bag for my phone all the time! It definitely expands to hold a variety of phone sizes.But the buckle/strap system isn't really smoothly comfortable around my waist. It needs to ride up high above my hips, and that's just an awkward look on race day ;-) I'd love for this to have a wider strap. Maybe that's a woman thing.

I wanted to love this belt, but some flaws prevented that. I'm not one for wearing anything, however was looking for something to carry my phone and nutrition on shorter runs. This didn't do well under a shirt. It moves around a lot and turns. I fumbled with it the entire run. Over a tucked shirt was better, but still shifted during the run. Samsung S5 with no case just fit and fully zipped. Other pouches were nice for gels, keys etc. Just not for me. Ended up returning.

The pockets just aren't big enough. I can get my phone into one or both but it's a tight squeeze and it's just not easy to do (and I have an iPhone 6, which is not large at all) . Just another inch in length or a half inch in height would have made this more usable. As it is, it's going to Goodwill.

I've done already a few long runs with this little, cute bag and is just what I needed. Very practical if you just want to carry a few things with you, and very stylish too!

Although the description of the product does not claim to be able to hold a modern (2017 and later) mobile phone, I warn any potential purchasers that it will most certainly NOT accommodate a phone the size of an iPhone 6, 7, 8, X, or later. It is very snazzy though!

Der Preis ist zwar etwas hoch, aber dieser Belt ist es wert! Man merkt ihn beim Laufen gar nicht , er ist schön leicht und es passt viel in die Taschen. Wenn ihr euch dieses Produkt kauft, werdet ihr es nicht bereuen.

Very nice and little bag. I can barely feel it when I am running. The waterproof bag fits a iphone 4 size phone and any bigger model cannot get in. The little tiny pouch is able to fit credit card and some cash.

not recommended.
