dirty ethel rackham Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Any runners on the board? What do you wear to carry phone, keys, id and such? Dd will be doing a cross country camp and some running over the summer. She absolutely detests the armbands - she finds them very annoying. But, she wants to listen to her ipod and I want her to carry a phone and ID when she runs in our neighborhood. She is about a size 2. Any waterproof, bounce-free belts that don't cost an arm and a leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runningmom80 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Flip belt! It's at flipbelt.com. I've been wanting to try this, it looks way cuter than a spi belt. My spi belt works perfectly though, so I haven't wanted to spend the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I use a Nathan hydration belt. 2 8 oz. water bottles, pouch and key pocket. Love it.... Used it on runs up to 18 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I use a Nathan hydration belt. 2 8 oz. water bottles, pouch and key pocket. Love it.... Used it on runs up to 18 miles. Sometimes I carry little bags in my Spi belt while I'm walking the dog a couple miles...somehow that doesn't sound nearly as impressive.... :thumbdown: ;) Not a belt, but Skirt Sports skirts have fabulous pockets for phones, keys, and other items in the shorties under the skirt. I don't even need a belt when I'm wearing a Skirt Sports skirt. My favorite pair of running shorts is a skirt! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I wear Althetica running shorts and capris. They have a zip pocket in the back that fits my iphone and my key. Waist belts always irritate me. I also carry a Nathan water bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I prefer a wrist wallet, personally, and this one is my favorite: http://sprigs.com/banjees/sport-mesh-banjees/ I don't put an iPod in it though, so that might change the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I made one. I love it. It holds my iPhone, keys and ID. It cost me $5 in fabric and maybe one hour of sewing. I am not a seamstress, but this was easy to make. http://thecraftingchicks.com/2014/02/diy-running-belt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Flip belt! It's at flipbelt.com. This is the best running related purchase I have ever made. I've run two marathons with it and several halves. It is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutamattatt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I also use the Flip Belt. Just like your DD the armbands made me CRAZY, so I broke down and bought a flip belt. LOVE IT. I always carry my phone, key, sometimes a chap stick along now. The only downside so far (and it isn't a big one) is that my Lifeproof phone case doesn't always slide super easily into the pocket, but it isn't any huge deal. Well, the other down side is that when I forget to put it on before I leave home, it feels like I am putting on my underpants when I have to step into it in public. :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks for all the suggestions. I will run them by dd and see what she wants to try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
