SPIbeltPerformance Series Running Belt - Large Pocket with Gel Loops (Black with Black Zip)

I've been wearing mine directly 'layered' above the waistband of my shorts and it's been comfortable to the point I don't really know I'm wearing it when I'm running. It's fiddly to open the zip, with your hand behind your back so it's useful to make sure everything is secure prior to heading off.I've been using mine to carry my phone and have some wireless earbuds, which works well for me and cuts out any cables.It's likely I'll get some of the water bottles at some point in the future for long runs and the loops will do the job for gels and can possibly be adapted for other bits and bobs.In the past I've used the 'wrap around' type armband carrier and also the 'compression sleeve' type armband but this belt is way more comfortable and practical too.I'd definitely recommend one to anybody wanting something to carry their phone on their runs.

I have an S9 Plus, and wanted a way to carry my phone on my full suspension mtb (saddle bag not possible) without having it slam around in a pocket or need to carry a backpack - and its a tight fit with a rugged case on the phone as well, but it does fit in the Spibelt, and when strapped around my waist I don't even notice it's there even on the most extreme trails so I'm still able to ride with minimal carry & record strava with minimal risk to it being destroyed.It does get some condensation on it however, so if your phone isn't water resistant (or even if it is) its a good idea to stick it in a separate bag.With the S9 Plus, being a new/expensive phone I wouldn't suggest putting anything else in the belt in fear of damaging it. - of course £10 note or something is fine, but coins/keys/tools I wouldn't risk it.

Great! Does not jump up and down and back and forth like my other running belt. My oneplus 5t fits, but I can't fit the phone and a soft flask at the same time inside the compartment.

A very lightweight running belt with a deceptive amount of storage. I can just fit my iPhone 7 with fairly thin case into this belt. The problem isn’t the storage capacity but more the opening size of the zipped area. It could do with being another cm wider really just to make it less cumbersome to insert and remove larger objects such as phones.The material is a nice stretchy neoprene but the internal pocket area seems a bit plasticky in feel and probably isn’t the best for minimising scratches to phone screens. Once a phone is inserted I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting any other objects such as money or keys in there... Not enough room and no way of separating items.There is also no soft material covering the reverse of the zip, so again, the risk of scratches is eminent in this design.Overall, it enables me to take my phone on runs but with a few tweaks could easily be a 4 or 5 star product!

Great for, no bouncing, but it's a bit of a struggle to take my iPhone 6 in and out on the move, especially when earphones are plugged in, and despite being next to nothing else in there with it. The zip pocket could have done with being a little bigger

Perfect! Best running belt ever and I've gone through a few I can tell you. It's so comfortable, carries a lot (I put my credit card, phone, lip balm, tissues and keys in the zip compartment and 6 gels on belt) I barely notice its there. No rubbing, no movement from belt. Perfect!!!

Best running belt ever! Perfect for phone and keys. Doesn’t rub or catch as you run and incredibly light. Would definitely recommend.

Bought the large SPI belt as I got a new iPhone8 Plus, but it was a struggle fitting it in! So disappointed as I love SPI belts, but I have a feeling I will drop my phone or the zip will scratch my phone, plus there isn’t much room for much more- so I’ve had to return it! Sigh!
