Camelbak Flash Belt 17oz Black Drinking Belt - 600 Red, N

I use the product for running and it is very comfortable and practical.

Used it for a half marathon, didn't even know I was wearing it, very comfy. Bottle fell out once during steep a downhill section but perhaps I hadn't tightened the waist strap enough so it was jostling. Only dropping one star because I think the elastic holding the bottle in place could be designed a little better. Decent storage for gels keys etc. Absolutely no chafing at all. Over all I'm very happy and would absolutely buy again.

Die Flasche fällt leicht raus. Zwei kreuzförmig verlaufende Gummis wären hier vorn besser..

Le doy 3 estrellas de momento hasta que no pase un tiempo para ver la durabilidad del producto, a simple vista parece buena calidad y costuras bien hechas, podrian haberse dejao un poco mas la piel pensando en un cierre mejor para la botella pero bueno.. a espensas de probarlo.. todo sea que me lleve una sorpresa... x cierto.. el precio.. demasiado caro.. pero bueno..

I’ve tried a handful of hydration packs and belts and this one has been my favorite by far. It fits very comfortable and doesn’t bounce or come loose on my runs. I almost forget I am wearing it sometimes! The most I run is 6 miles so the 17 oz bottle is perfect. The only reason I took away a star is because once you put the belt on it does not fit my iPhone XS with its case on. However it fits my keys and external charger, which is perfect for me since I usually carry my phone in my hand using the aid of a phone loop. If you’re not worried about the pocket space I would say definitely give this hydration belt a try! Love it!!

I've had numerous bottle carrier belts for running over the last 14+ years, mostly Camelbak brand but some others. This one is my about my second favorite. This belt places the bottle at the closest to horizontal position of all the belts that I've used, and it really helps to keep the bottle from bouncing up and down compared to all the other belts I've used - as long as I have the belt tight enough. Unfortunately this position also makes it easier for the bottle to fall out compared to a belt with a more vertical bottle, so the elastic band is needed to keep it secure. And that band is the weak point - it stretched out and deformed within a month (see photo). It still holds, but I need to be sure that it is correctly placed, because it's easy to think it's slipped on the nozzle of the bottle when it has actually slipped off the edge of the bottle cap. Camelbak should make this band out of better quality material, or at least make them replaceable, like by using snaps on each end of the band.The belt straps can slip in the plastic strap adjusters. On a previous model Camelbak had a cam on the buckle that could be locked down, preventing the straps from slipping - they should put that feature on every belt they offer. If you only use this for walking or slow jogging, it should be okay, but if you're running at a decent pace you might have to tighten the straps at least once a run.The bottle that comes with the belt is okay, but I wish it was larger in size, like 21 or 24 ounces. Sometimes when putting it back in the belt it doesn't quite want to fit right until I twist it forward or backward a bit, then it's fine.I hand wash my belt after each run with Hex Sports Wash, otherwise it gets smelly/mildewy.Make sure you clean the bottle regularly, especially if you're running in 70+ degree weather, and especially if you use a sports drink mix.

Out of a few water packs I've owned, I do like the design how the bottle is oriented more horizontal. It's easy to grab the bottle and shakes less than the vertical ones. My 1 complaint is that the straps don't stay tight but gets loose during the runs. But overall good quality and functional!
