FlipBeltZipper, Carbon, X-Small

Going pandemic crazy, I needed to get out and exercise (safely.)I started doing what I call "City Hikes"... I live downtown in one of the larger oldest cities in the country, and the main streets have inclines and declines with uneven sidewalks that can be somewhat challenging for a somewhat older person. A 3+mile hilly walk in under an hour can be an ok cardio exercise.I like to carry a lot: my smartphone with the MapMyWalk app on it, which both records and reports to my headset throughout my "city hike": my varying rates of speed, the degrees of elevation, my heart rate as well as distance covered and my speed right at that moment.Being a very cautious person - I carry with me all my critical keys including my car key, a major credit card, ATM card, garage pass, Driver's License and some hidden folded cash.I also carry 2 spare paper masks, 2 pairs of nitrile plastic exam gloves and several sealed SONO hospital-grade equipment wipes.I also carry my glasses and a water bottle I can drink from, particularly in this heat.But not only is that a lot to carry but downtown in an old major metropolitan area is not always the safest place - at least not in my neighborhood. Thefts occur even during the day.After quite a bit of research, scouring Amazon's site and trying a few items, I came up with a combo of items that make carrying all this effortless and as if I weren't carrying them at all, feeling as safe as possible and able to just focus on my "hike."I put in the items listed below (except my phone) in the various pockets of the FlipBelt Level Terrain Zipper Edition https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH0CXQO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I was between sizes and found the larger one more comfortable - and though it slipped a bit, not by very much, tighter was not as comfortable.WRT my phone, Sinjimoru Phone Grip Credit Card Holder with Phone Stand ( I chose the silicone version), works perfectly on my Samsung Note 9 in an Ottebox Symmetry Case. Though the product pictures primarily show just using a couple of fingers to hold the phone - it actually stretches enough that I can put my whole hand through, holding the phone in my open hand so I can look at the phone face to see the map or whatever other info I want to at a glance while I am speed-walking, without fearing I may drop the phone, no matter how I might shake it.Now, I am female and with relatively small hands for 5'3" but there is still a lot more stretch room left for a larger hand -- but the material stays very snug around my hand, without cutting off any circulation.As an extra precaution, I use the Sinjimoru Phone Grip in combination with "SHANSHUI Phone Lanyard, Neck Strap and Wrist Tether Key Chain Holder Universal for Phone Case Anchor" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083158CBJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 using the wrist band lanyard. The Shanshui Lanyard is amazing; I can dangle the phone by the lanyard and it stays attached. (There is no adhesive in this product, yet with the right cell phone case, it seems amazingly safe.)I prefer to put the credit cards, Driver's License, cash, etc in the zippered pocket of the FlipBelt rather than in the cardholder of the Phone Grip, tho I am sure the cards and cash would be safe in the Phone Grip. I just feel it is much less likely that a thief would be able to steal the Flipbelt off me in broad Daylight than perhaps in a fly-by action - cutting the lanyard *and* pulling the phone and phone grip off my hand at the same time while running by - tho I sincerely doubt the latter could happen with any feasibility.And finally, for my water, I use FlipBelt's Water Bottles https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Water-Bottle-11-Ounce/dp/B01ESTP0J4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1F6AFSLLBJBL7&dchild=1&keywords=flipbelt+running+belt+with+water+bottle&qid=1594441055&sprefix=Water+Bottles+flipb%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-3 , either the 11 oz or 6 oz, though I prefer the 11 oz in this heat. I fill them half full with my bottled water and freeze them. When I take one out for my "city hike", I fill it up with my chilled bottled water from the fridge. The bottle fits snugly and very stably - because of the curve - in the FlipBelt pocket - easy to pull out and put back in. And in this heat, the ice helps keep me slightly cooler - but honestly, the ice is all melted and the water almost normal temperature by the end of my walk.I am soaking wet at the end from sweat; so is my Flipbelt - but everything else - in my FlipBelt or my hand - is absolutely safe and dry.And I walk with all the speed and flourish I want because I feel like I am carrying nothing the whole while... free as a bird :-)I hope this helps!

I wore this for a full marathon in the drenching rain, and it worked great with minimal chafing (inevitable due to the rain). It’s also come it handy for safe storage at our local amusement park, so the phone or wallet doesn’t go flying on rollercoasters.

I first heard about flipbelt on a social media platform so I bought it and recently tried it out. I wish I had known about this years ago! I easily carry my phone, car keys, and GU packs. I would recommend this to any runner.

Nice product, would suggest buying a size down. They fit good but after putting a phone and the FB water bottle in it they tend to slip down.

This belt is amazing for my runs!!! I can fit my phone, keys and wallet in it and never have to worry about losing anything. Nothing jiggles around and it's not too bulky either! No more holding onto my stuff and having it get covered in sweat from my hands! Although the items in the belt don't get drenched in sweat, the belt itself does and takes a long time to dry after each run. I just purchased a second one so I can just alternate and use whichever one is dry since I run a lot.If you are tired of the arm straps or the cheap clip belts with flimsy plastic shields for your phone, get this. It holds more items and it's snug and secure!

Fits great, and holds more than you would think.

It's fantastic! The zipper pocket is great for keys and other important items. I used this for my first half marathon and couldn't even tell I had it on. Would also recommend buying the water bottle - access is easy and convenient. It also packs up nicely and is easy to store. Worth a try if you, like me, hate carrying things in your hands.

I found this product suggestion on a Type 1 Diabetic site for carrying an insulin pump. It's perfect and allows those of us wearing a pump to have greater flexibility with clothing options while keeping the pump safely close to our body. I bought a second one to wear on wash days, and now my husband wants one for his bicycle rides!

Me pareció una compra estupenda, la cangurera FlipBelt es única, ya que va pegada al cuerpo, puedes ponerte la playera arriba y no se nota, es super cómoda, de muy buena calidad y segura

Útil por el momento

súper perfecta

When you flip the belt to keep things safe - you end up with the black on the outside. I would rather have the slits on the black side. Zipper is ok where it is, but on the black side would be better.

The best among all flipbelts, works for me no more bumpy feeling while carrying my bottle while running. Recommend.
