I’ve been running without a phone or much else for a long time now, but I’ve been thinking for a while about having at least my phone with me. In part for safety reasons (I always run alone), but also because of the beautiful views that I’ve been seeing during my runs that I simply just wanted to share with others. And, let’s not forget music. My Garmin watch doesn’t support music, so I need to rely on other sources for music. I got a Flipbelt a few weeks ago and I‘ve used it on all my runs since, here is my experience.
There are several different Flipbelts available besides the standard version:
- Hydration belt – comes with 2 small and 1 large water bottle
- Zipper – added security through a ziplocked pocket
- Visibility – includes lights and/or reflective fabric
- Safety belt – with pepper gel and alarm
Comfort
The Flipbelt fits nicely and I’ve only noticed it moving after I’ve taken something out or put something back in it, so that’s probably my own fault. I barely notice it’s there during my runs and that is a great plus!
