FlipBelt Review & Giveaway

I've been waiting for weather to warm up a little to test out a new product I recently received... the FlipBelt.  As a long distance runner, there is always a handful of stuff to carry when I'm out on my feet for hours at a time.  I'm not a big fan of fanny packs, fuel belts or anything that wraps around my waist. I typically carry a handheld water bottle, and love winter running if not for the sole purpose of wearing a vest with lots of pockets to carry "my stuff".  But once that outer layer comes off, I'm a little strapped on where to store the goodies.  (Note: Between the girls is not ideal... GU wrappers do some nasty chafing!)  With that said, I was intrigued by the FlipBelt for its pure simplicity.


Before Sunday's long run, I loaded up the FlipBelt with the essentials... car key, energy packet, gum, cash and my iPhone. It all slid nicely into the fabric belt through a slit down the middle. I stepped into the FlipBelt and let it rest gently on my hips.

I was impressed on how well it blended into my fat curves. With my outer shirt pulled overtop, you could barely notice any extra bulge (like we need any, right?!).  Of course, in the summer months, the FlipBelt will be a nice color splash to my favorite ninja (all black) outfit.


How did it perform on the RUN?
Over the course of a half marathon (13.1 miles), the FlipBelt worked well. In my mind, the comfortability factor is #1 plus with this product. As someone who is normally annoyed with things around my waist, I forgot the FlipBelt was even there during my run.

The iPhone was a bit heavy, so I turned the FlipBelt around within the first mile... so that the items were on my back rather than my tummy. I should have went a size smaller on the belt (sizing chart here). All my items stayed secure in the FlipBelt, but if it's a concern, you may also flip the belt inward to seal the openings against your body. I love the versatility of this product.

Through the miles, the FlipBelt found final resting place around my waist. Again, a smaller size probably would have kept it tighter down on my hips. I reached in several times to use my phone and take an energy gel. I found no problems with its use. While it had slipped up to my waist, I was impressed that the FlipBelt didn't end up all scrunched up. It was visually pleasing even after 2+ hours of running. That matters in a race... hello, finish line photos!?

Conclusion: Would I use it again? 
Yes! I may even order another color. The FlipBelt retails for $24.99.

    I hate the fanny pack carriers because they always slide up around my waist and then bounce around. I want something that will stay around my hips...I love the idea of this. I don't really carry water anyway but it would be nice to be able to carry a couple of gels.

    My runs are finally getting long enough where I need to carry water with me and carrying my keys and my phone along with a water bottle can get quite frustrating. This past Sunday, I went on what was supposed to be a 7 mile run (time only allowed for 5.5 miles) and I strapped on my hydration belt. It was horrible. It was too uncomfortable and the water bottle felt like it was gonna come out of place. I wouldn't mind carrying the water bottle if I had a place to put everything else in during my run. The FlipBelt looks like a great product and I'd love to try it out. Specially because it would allow me to carry my products even during short runs and doesn't look uncomfortable at all. Thanks for the review and the giveaway!

    I really don't have a reliable way to carry items with me during runs. I have to rely on my pockets to carry everything ... and when I don't have pockets I either have to go with someone or call someone and let them know where I'm going, when I leave, and when I should be returning. This simple belt would be a HUGE help and much easier than keep picking up my phone after it flies out of my pocket! :)

    I want one of these so bad!! Maybe I will win yours!?! I have tried the hippie belt (like the spiblet) and it is too big form my narrow boyish hips and slides around. This looks like it will stay in place much better and it's cute!

    I found a wrist pocket that I can wear to hold keys and license, otherwise everything goes in my pockets, which of course is annoying. Thankfully our running store has a place to put keys when we run with our groups so I just have to have my phone with me (required as a running mentor). This belt though, looks awesome! And I agree, I don't like the fuel belts or fanny packs, too bulky and annoying for me.

    i cannot express how much more comfortable and secure it felt than my usual fuel belt. i'd highly recommend it to anyone. i just wouldn't recommend getting the green one because in all the race photos it looks goofy. i'll probably pick up a black one to use this summer.
