Running belt recommendation please ?

[MartinKH]

Can anyone recommend a running belt please ?

Just so I can carry my phone (an old but big iPhone 6 plus) and keys with me while out running.

I know I could leave my phone at home, but I use it to track my runs and listen to music/podcasts.

Thanks and happy running.

Look online for bum bags, they are usually around a tenner..

Amazon do them.

Thanks for getting back to me, my other half has a bum bag but I'm after something little less bulky.

[Hidden in reply to MartinKH]

I'm sure I saw belts that you wear on your upper arm that carry your phone etc..

Maybe some camping websites would have what you are looking for..

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks again Handyman, I'll have a look at that.

Ok and I founds this

Thank you very much.

I just use a cheap Karrimor one from SportsDirect but don't know whether it would suit if your phone's really big. Mine has a 5.7'' display and it's okay, but I wouldn't get a bigger one in. Apart from that, though, I really like it

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to Archerygoddess]

Thank you for that info. Archerygoddess, much appreciated.

I bought this one and really liked it

It’s neat and sits close to my body and fits my iPhone 6 and keys nicely

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

Thank you very much, looks very good.

I’ve got one from sports direct. For £5.99. It fits my iPhone 6 Plus in my bank card and my keys. It’s a Karrimor one.

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to ThisMummaRuns]

Thanks very much, will check this out too

I bought a bum bag which does the job, but is too bulky. I bought my daughter in law a sports flipbelt. They are flatter and she loves it.

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Thanks Speedy60, yes something like you bought your daughter in law sounds ideal.

Google “flipbelt”. They are not cheap, but they are amazingly capacious and snug. Make sure you get the right size as they are Lycra and have no adjustments.

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Thank you MarkyD. I had a look and these look interesting. If you have one, would you recommend the classic or zipper version?

Thanks again 🙏

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to MartinKH]

Deffo the classic one. If I need any of my FlipBelt contents during a run. It’s easy to wiggle some fingers into the classic & extract (for example) my phone. No need for a zip!

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Great stuff, thanks very much for the advice.

I got this one a few weeks ago and it’s great! Not bulky at all and I forget I’m wearing it. Has headphone holes and a couple of smaller pockets for keys etc. I have a 7 plus and it fits fine! smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KM...

[MartinKH Graduate in reply to LJAR]

Sounds like a definite contender, thanks very much. 👍
