Why change a good thing? This is our original no-nonsense belt. Four 8oz bottles without any bounce! Comfortable Velcro closure, reflective rear neoprene pocket.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Excellent weight distribution, bottles cheaply made
I love the belt itself - it fits tightly and I barely notice it's on me, even on my longer runs (15-20 miles). The front pouch is small, OK for keys but not more than two packs of gel, which is just enough for me.
The problem I have are the bottles themselves. I think in the effort to make them flexible and easy to empty, the area where it connects and seals with the cap are porly made and/or the caps themselves aren't the best. I had one cap crack within a few weeks of use, and one that doesn't seal properly between the cap and bottle, making it leak a little.
Because of this I use it for easier runs where I have a second source of hydration (ie, water fountains somewhere on my route), but I wouldn't rely on it for long distance runs where I must reply on them 100%.
Overall I think the belt itself is one of my favorite items to use, it's only a bit of a shame that the bottles aren't of better quality.

Fuel Belts
Fuel Belts are a great way to carry water or sport drinks on longer runs. The belts never rub or cause wear on your shirts even on the longest, hottest runs (unlike some other water belts that I have used). They're comfortable and easily adjustable.
The bottles however do not seal well and can be very difficult to use while actually running. The lack of gaskets within the caps, combined with the soft bottles, mean that you can easily end up squirting sticky sport drinks on yourself while trying to combine running and drinking. I've found that I really need to stop or remove the cap to effectively use the bottles. Finally, they can be somewhat difficult to clean.
A good product, and much better than many of the alternatives, but not perfect.
Great for Female Runners
I love my Fuel Belt. It's light and flexible. If I have one complaint it's that the belt tends to fit snuggly. The small is REALLY small, so order up one size. The velcro belt will ensure a snug fit. The bottles tends to slip from your hands when you perspire, but overall it's a great training tool.
