"Personally, I opt for vests or sling packs when carrying water, as I find it more comfortable and can sip while running rather than needing to pull bottles out and replace them in the belt." "Some people don’t mind the sensation of a tight belt, but for others, it’s worth checking out a hydration vest instead," says Torres. Water weight: Something to consider is the more you carry with a belt, especially water, the snugger it needs to be in order to reduce bounce."Additionally, our bodies naturally fluctuate, so, I always recommend something that adjusts whenever possible." "Adjustable belts will allow you to carry more or less on different days," she says. Remember to check the fit with all your stuff included, according to Torres. Adjustable fit: Finding the right fit for you is important with belts, otherwise you’ll spend your run adjusting it or feeling uncomfortable.The biggie: Everyone needs a secure spot for a phone or communication device, according to Torres. But, if your cargo is for emergency use only, one catch-all pocket works fine. "Depending on the season, you might stuff a rain or wind shell in there or mittens, in addition to chapstick and your keys." Separate sections for different items are ideal if you're using your stuff regularly (eating and drinking and grabbing your phone frequently). "If you’re running for an hour or more, you’ll typically want some nutrition too, and water or something else to drink," says Torres. Storage options: What you’ll need for storage in your running belt depends on the duration and remoteness of your route."If you’re carrying more, you’ll want a little more structure or adjustability, so you can loosen or tighten it as needed." Materials: "A stretchy, soft and comfortable material is great if you’re just carrying a few items," says Torres.To streamline your shopping, these are the features that really make a difference in your run, according to Brooke Torres, RRCA-certified running coach, ultrarunner, and CEO of Hilma.
