Nathan Zipster Running Belt for Men and Women, Bounce Free Waist Pack, Running Fanny Pack Women, Pockets with Zippers, Fits All iPhones

This was a great product for traveling around Italy. We were worried about pick pockets and bought these belts to stash our money, passports, and covid documents. The passport was a tight fit, but it held everything and you couldn't tell we were wearing them.

It's a good size fits me perfectly right. I got a small size S. My phone pixel 6 pro (6.7 inches) phone doesn't fit in the pockets with the zipper, but does fit on the side pockets (w/o zipper). But I think bigger sized belts such as M and L won't have that problem fitting big phones. On my runs I'm taking two soft water flasks (500lm and 250ml) and both fit well in the pockets without zipper, I put them in each pocket. The other zippered pockets are not that useful to me but I can put small things there like my keys or gels on racing days. Quality seems to be good, I've only used it on 3 long runs so far and didn't have any issues with the belt. I'm actually very happy of this purchase. Edit: I was able to carry my insta360 camera with a selfie stick (in a two different pockets that are w/o a zip lock), and 2 soft flasks with water. The belt held up really great.

For reference I purchased this running belt in a size xxs. It's ideal for iPhone 15pro or any phone around that size. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra this belt is not going to fit that phone.

I wanted a band for my child to go to a theme park with. Luckily she has an iPhone 6s with an OtterBox defender, and that JUST fits. And when I say just, I mean just. If you have anything newer, I wouldn’t even risk trying it. There is pretty much no stretch to these pockets at all due to the zipper being cut too short. If they would’ve extended the zipper a little bit more, this would be a much better pouch, but that space makes everything so limiting. I’m not completely disappointed with this, but I was hoping it would be a little bit better. She hasn’t used it yet, so I do not know how it is going to hold up. My guess is that the zipper is going to be the first to break, as it is a cheap little thing, and like I mentioned not open long enough. It is a very weird type of stretchy material, and I definitely see her sweating in this if she doesn’t put it over the waist of her pants. For the price I’m not complaining, it does fit the phone I needed it to fit, I just wish it were made with a little more thought. It also has pockets on both sides and if the zipper does break, there is a flippy fabric piece (although I am not sure how that will hold up on a roller coaster). I couldn’t see anyone running with this. This fabric will definitely slide up.

Was looking for a way to carry my phone when trail running that didn't bob up and down like my small fanny pack does sometimes. I liked this idea of this waistband pack. Got it yesterday and ran this morning with it, worked great, just as described. Just as a note to anyone wondering about a smartphone fitting... mine does, but just barely. My Pixel 4a with a thin case JUST fits. My phone dimensions with case are 5 7/8" (149.2mm) x 2 7/8" (73mm). The zippers are 5 1/4" (133.3mm) wide so I have to stretch it get the phone in, but it is secure and no bouncing around. I like it, plenty of room for a lightweight shell and some gu and keys and even a small wallet I suppose, but at that point it might be a little more uncomfortable. The packaging I received said this is the "Lite" version.

I needed a non-bulky way to hold my phone and keys while walking or running a few miles. I also want to carry a very small water bottle, like those you find on a fuel belt, but fuel belt products always twist and bounce, and a fanny pack was too big. This works well for my phone and keys. The zipper pouch gets the keys, my iPhone 8 fits in the pocket w/o the zipper, securely. As for the small water bottle, it worked in the other zipperless pocket. It doesn't twist or shift and was comfortable. The fabric is not like spandex shorts, it's a bit rough, but since it doesn't shift it's not irritating. Also not waterproof / sweatproof, so don't expect that. If you sweat a lot you may want to put your valuables in a ziploc bag for protection.

I bought this belt because of the great price of 6.99 which was nowhere near current asking price, and to compare it to the flipbelt zipper. There is absolutely no comparison. The flipbelt wins in every category hands down. First, even though the Nathan has two pockets, the pockets are just too small for most smartphones. The pockets have very little stretch so getting phones in and out is a real chore. The flipbelt has larger pockets that are stretchy. Second is the comfort. The material used in the zipster light is mesh. If you wear it over your clothes, then no problem. If, however, you wear it under your shirt and it’s directly on your skin, this thing itches. The material in the flipbelt is infinitely more comfortable. Third is the movement of the belt. The zipster is not quite tall enough to sit comfortably. As soon as I started jogging, it immediately started bouncing. This was with my phone, keys, one ID and two cards and my Jaybird vista case. No way I was going to make it 3 miles with this thing. Add to this the scratchiness of the material and I lasted about 100 yards and turned right back around to swap it for the flipbelt. If you’re in the market for a comfortable running belt that doesn’t bounce, this ain’t the one.

Being a long distance runner, I've tried almost all brands of running belts / pouches. Every brand has their pros and cons - ease of use and durability is the most important aspect i look for. When you are on a long run, you tend to look out for your energy gel /fuel packs. The sides of this belt doesnt have zippers so it's easy to access. The zippers on the front and back pouches are sturdy ( 5 months of use ) and holds your phone / keys / valuables. I've used it for 3 marathons and the sides can hold upto 5-6 gel packets ( Maurten) each ( that's pretty much heavy / bulky ). The elasticity is still in great shape. Since there are no elastic extensions, i'm not worried to adjust the belt every now and then. That's a big plus since adjusting the belt while running with stuff inside is the most distracting this you could have on a race day. I've not used this in rain (CA has not seen much rain for a while :( ) so i'm unsure about how much water resistant it is. All i know is that it resists sweat a bit but not that much. I'm not worried about that since I can use a small ziplock to put any cash / cards if i need to and place it inside the zippered pouches. All in all, i'm very happy with this product.
