A soup herb bit of kit, easily big enough for a modern smartphone (I use an iPhone 6), plus the key clip, plus it will carry 5-6 gels and a wee first aid kit () for maras. Flippin great and thoroughly recommended. I thunk the retail for £25 but if you're passing through That Europe you could get one for €25 foreign money. () first aid kit comprises plasters, compeeds, painkillers. Defibrillator, stretcher and air ambulance not included.

I've spent a long time wearing an armband thing when using a small mp3 player, then went through a number of waist carry pocket products for when I needed to carry a little more, and when I changed over to the smartphone for music/podcasts instead of mp3 player. Flipbelt is where I've settled, it's good. Seems expensive for what it is, but it'll last years.

I'd never considered the need for one before, having previously used an armband for a smartphone (when I used that for run tracking), but ditched that when I got a proper watch. Always do worry that I could be out somewhere without contact, so let's give this flipbelt thing a try so I can take my phone too. Ordered!
