Running belt problem 😊

[Buddy34]

I bought a belt it has space for 2 small bottles and a zip pocket for mobile phone , jelly babies etc. The problem I have is on todays run it made my tshirt ride up constantly. Am I doing something wrong ? 😊

I have a flipbelt and I always wear mine under my tshirt, pulled down on my hips. Nothing rides up but there's a bit of fiddling to get anything out of the belt 😃

It's not a good look tho - not on me at least 🙄

I'm past caring how anything looks🤣 as long as it does the job and doesn't annoy me while running

Yes I also wear on my hips under t-shirt

And me 🙋‍♀️ But on my waist - too tight for hips.

Yeah flipbelts are awesome. They hold so much stuff. But not external water bottles i think?

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Decker]

I use the flipbelt bottles which slip inside the fabric - I have one large bottle and one small but it's not great with both at the same time.

Oh yeah, I forgot I have a small bottle too. I used it for two years! Its ok for shorter runs but i use a larger pack bottle now

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Decker]

Indeed! Those bottles won't fuel your runs 😀

I wear the flipbelt under my T-shirt for runs to 10k but when training for 10 miles during last summer I bought a hydration vest which was brilliant. Lots of pockets for goodies too.

Think I will look into a hydration vest instead . Thanks😊👍

I’ve got this one in blue but gives you an idea.

I doubt it’s your belt Buddy but the length or fabric of your top is probably to blame. I’ve had this issue and worked out it happens when I wear certain tops. A few are shortish in length and there’s one that’s very lightweight and so rides up easily. It doesn’t happen wearing the same belt with other tops.

Wild GingerRunning lady talks about this,problem on her video on YouTube.

She bigger-up,the Camelbak waist belt. She gave it a glowing review. Aqua or black 🙂. She’s an ultra runner who wears a hydration vest but she was full of praise for the roomy waist belt. I would like one but at £50 it’s out of my price range

I wear a belt at my waist, over a tee. There is only one top I have that rides up, but even that behaves after I get a little hot! It is a bit shorter than the others and a more slinky lightweight fabric.
