Know before you buy
The zippered pocket is designed to accommodate most standard-sized smartphones. However, if you use a bulky protective case, you may want to measure your device against the belt's dimensions to ensure a comfortable fit.
The belt features an adjustable waistband and is constructed from Nulux™ fabric with four-way stretch, which helps it sit snugly against your body. When adjusted correctly, it is designed to minimize movement and bounce during your run.
While the fabric is not waterproof, it is made from sweat-wicking Nulux™ material that dries quickly. This helps keep moisture away from your body and prevents the belt from becoming heavy or saturated during intense workouts.
This specific model is designed primarily for essentials like keys, cards, gels, and your phone. It does not include dedicated holsters or storage for water bottles.
To maintain the shape and elasticity of the Lycra® fibers, we recommend machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle with like colors. Hang it to air dry, as high heat from a dryer can damage the fabric's performance properties.
