Note: I was given this product to review. All opinions expressed are my own. I have a FlipBelt that I have been using for running but when SLS3 was looking for product testers I thought, why not? I love trying new fitness related gear! Here are five things I love about this belt:
- Fast and easy to put on. Unlike the FlipBelt that I have to step into, the SLS3 running belt has a clasp that you can easily wrap around your waist and snap to put on.
- One size and it’s adjustable. I remember when I first got the FlipBelt, it kept moving around and I realized it was too big. I had to return it and get the smaller size since it was size specific. This belt is easily adjustable. One size fits most, fits sizes 24″- 38″.
- Two big zippered pockets. I feel safe that my items are secure and won’t fall out being zippered. The pockets expand well and fits my iPhone 6 nicely. The other pocket is great to hold my energy gels or if I need to bring cash or a credit card.
- Fits snug. This is similar to the FlipBelt in that it fits snug and doesn’t jiggle when I run. I’ve run outside and on the treadmill with it and can hardly tell it’s there. It’s hard to see but I’m wearing the belt in the pic below.
- Water resistant. I always run with my phone so it’s nice knowing that it will protect my phone from rain and sweat.
Those are five things I love about this belt. This is another great belt for those looking for a running belt. The nice folks at SLS3 are giving one lucky reader a chance to win one.

If you can’t wait, their Amazon store is having a limited time introductory price for the dual pocket run belt: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017DRIKFY. The belt retails at $29.90 but their Amazon store has it listed for $12.90 (57% Off). That’s a fantastic deal!
Do you use a running belt? What do you use to carry your phone or fuel on long runs? Are you racing this weekend?
I am linking up with Eat Pray Run DC, Mar on the Run, and You Signed Up for What?! for their Friday Five Linkup.

Looks like a great product. Christine is doing a product review as well, but I am pretty attached to my flipbelt.

This looks pretty cool! I have something like it by Newton, but it’s not water resistant, which is a little annoying. Thanks for the product suggestion!

I am looking forward to getting mine. But I got an email that said they were on back order. I wonder how you got yours already…lucky. I think i will like this belt better than my flip belt. As my flip was always a little big and never had a snug fit.

I do use a belt – I tried Flipbelt but think I have the wrong size as it’s uncomfortable. I”m pretty attached to my SpiBelt!

Nice! It is similar to the SpiBelt but has two pockets.

That sounds really similar to the SpiBelt but I like the fact that it has two zippered pockets. That’s an awesome feature, unlike the SpiBelt I have with just one.

I don’t use a belt – I don’t like things around my waist. I put my phone in my handheld water bottle’s pouch 🙂

I use a SPIBELT which seems like a similar thing – adjustable, expandable pocket, etc. But the fact that this has 2 pockets is appealing. And I don’t believe my SPIBELT is waterproof. If I’m wearing shorts, I carry my phone in my pocket. But sometimes you don’t have pockets! If I lived in the US, I’d enter your contest!

I’d like to try this belt. I have a amphipod belt but don’t use it much because it jiggles when I run and it is not waterproof. This product seems to address both those issues.
