| Napkin test. |
As you can see, it’s a pretty wide band. One thing I was concerned about was it being waterproof for a phone. I sweat a ton and if you run in the summer, it’s basically impossible to finish a run without being drenched. To test the waterproofness, I put napkins in the belt at the start of the run. I also threw in a gel and my car key.
I ran for about an hour and the best thing about this belt is that it didn’t move. Not one time did I pull it down. And it was snug, but I forgot it was there. It was comfortable and didn’t bother me a bit. After the run, the napkins were mostly dry but a little damp near the edges. I would suggest a zip lock bag if you want to run with your phone. I rarely run with one but it’s great to have this option because my other belts are either too small or bounce around way to much to carry one.

| Post run belt stayed in place! |
So here’s how I would break this belt down in pros and cons.
Pros: Stayed in place and didn’t bug me at all, lots and lots of storage space, easy to clean
Cons: Not 100% waterproof (not that they claim it to be but this was something I was curious about), may be snug if you wear over “puffier” shorts
Final Thoughts: I will 100% wear this belt again. I can see me wearing this at races where I want to carry a phone for pictures and carry bigger fuel options, like bars or chomps.
