Running belts with little water bottles on them. Which one have you found to be best?

Raspy32 Mar 2012 12:01am, 13 Mar 2012 6 posts	0 Raspy32 I have a Fuel Belt Helium 4 which is a really nice water belt, but recently I've swapped it for a Camelpak with a single large bottle on the back because I lost too much weight and the fuel belt no longer fit. I am surprised to say that I don't even notice the new belt upon a long run so would recommend either.

PeteFastFeet May 2019 9:05pm, 7 May 2019 118 posts	0 PeteFastFeet I am resurrecting this thread. After my "hitting the wall" last week I want to try running my next marathon with more gels, sweets, liquids and think a belt would be a good way to carry them. Do any of you have recommendations? Thanks

Fragile Do Not Bend May 2019 9:19pm, 7 May 2019 4420 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I’m interested to know too, I need to get something sorted out for longer runs in the warmer weather. I feel a hydration vest is OTT for anything but the properly long runs and I really cannot stand using a handheld bottle. I have a Nathan water belt but I can’t get on with it - the bloody thing keeps wanting to do a slow orbit around my waist.

westmoors May 2019 8:03am, 8 May 2019 3209 posts	0 westmoors I have a karrimor belt: two small bottles (180 ml I think), two elastic straps for gels, and a zip pocket. My only gripe with it, is it seems to be designed for large people!
um May 2019 9:03am, 8 May 2019 912 posts	0 um I just carry a 500ml plastic water bottle. Got so used to it, I feel I am missing something if I don't take it on shorter runs. More often than not, it comes back unused ...

Got something to say?
