This pack has tons of space. I just used it for a marathon and was able to put 6 gel packs in it. Room for a smartphone and more. The only negative is the waist size. I have 26 inch waist and it could be tighter. I actually cut the straps once adjusted because they hung down. Lightweight and comfortable though!

This is the first water carrier for running I've ever bought, so I might be jaded, but this thing is wicked. Other standard size bike bottles will fit in it. You can operate your touch screen phone fairly well through the clear protector. There is a space behind where you place your phone to stash other stuff (keys, gels). Great buy for the price!

Sturdy construction, lightweight, perfect size and weight for 6-8 year old swimmer to haul their own gear.

Looks and description can be deceiving.. There are no smartphones on the market that will fit in this. If you have more than five keys and a key chain attached it will not fit. I can only see one card and a few bills fitting more than that and will will look and feel bulky.

I bought this in January to wear while riding my bicycle early in the mornings while dark. I missed the fact it was led lit in the description so imagine my delight to find them!! just have one issue with one of the led strips not staying on the full ride but I am positive we can rectify that very easily. I would recommend this to my friends! thanks!

This band isn't too tight or too loose. Obviously your mileage will vary based on size of head. But for me, it's the first that didn't either squeeze the head or slip around. It's also softer than others I've tried -- no weird scratchy bits, in spite of the hardware for the light. The band covers my ears well and is warm enough for most days in Boston. (Style was irrelevant to me, so those stars apply to warmth.) On the days that this isn't sufficiently warm, no headband would do it. You just have to go for the hats. The light is easy to turn on and off. I don't always need it, but it's nice to have the option. Thoroughly pleased with this.

This is a great vest. I use it for Cycling and Walking. I love that it is adjustable for when I am wearing multiple layers. Great vest for the price.

Super lightweight and highly reflective. I ordered this because I am running a Ragnar Relay (reflective vest is required of racers) but after wearing it during my training I have realized I always need to wear it on my night runs. I live in a poorly lit area and didn't realize how little my clothing was reflective. The only negative is it does tend to twist a little but this is a minimal inconvenience for the price of my safety. I also do not recommend carrying a phone in the back zip pouch because it will be too heavy and pull the vest around your neck. The pouch is good for lighter items such as a key or gel.

I bought this belt to replace a FuelBelt I had for several years. I choose the Nathans due to pocket design, I can fit several Gels in and there is no zipper to work to get them out, in that respect is performed well. Unfortunately that is the only thing it did well. It is not nearly as comfortable as my old FuelBelt, it bounces way more than the fuelbelt and required repeated adjustment. While I could live with that what I can not live with is the fact that the bottles fall out! On my first run after about 1½ miles I heard a bottle fall out, I turned around and picked it up. After another mile or so I reached down to take a bottle off the belt and it was gone, I must not have heard it drop (this was a different bottle than fell out the first time) I really wanted to be able to use this product and sent repeated emails to Nathans asking for assistance with this issue, I received an automated response which stated that I would get an answer within 48 hours and never heard anything more. So my advice would be to stay way, if a hydration belt cannot hold the bottles it is worse than not having a belt at all.

I cycle 30+ miles daily mostly rural roads. I usually wear white for visibility and the NC summer heat. I wanted something I could use year round to increase visibility on any color jersey/outerwear I use. This fit the bill. Very light, very cool, very visible. I got caught in a thunder & hail storm descending from Mt Mitchell, NC for 30 miles and used this vest with blinking light. No issues at all. Highly recommend for anyone looking for light, breathable, visible addition to your cycling wardrobe. If you want to carry it and only wear it on specific occasions it will pack up really small an fit into a rear pocket of any size bag.

I am a woman with a slim build (5'7", 125) and the vest will not fall off. I like the hidden key pocket and ID tag. Keeps me safe when I run!

I bought this to use for my half marathon training. Belt is very comfortable and the bottles are easy to use during runs. Only negative is that whatever you put in the bottle ends up tasting like the plastic bottle. Thought that it would go away after several washes but no luck.

I have another Nathan fuel belt which holds 4 bottles. I love their products as they are well made and last for years. The company also has outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this fuel belt and I have received numerous compliments. It is most comfortable and is lightweight, and the pocket fits my cell phone and money. A great product!

I am training for a 30K and this belt has just the right capacity for my training runs. (I may have to strategically refill my water bottles on some of my upcoming longer runs.) The back pocket is the perfect size for a snack and my Smartphone, and the waistband is comfortable and doesn't shift around. You do have to be careful about closing the nozzles on the bottles, but they are easy to remove from and replace in the holsters with one hand. I have the pink version and I love the color!

I like this belt a lot for the look & the pocket where I can fit gels, cell phone & cash. The bottles leak leaving me soaking wet and minus hydration.

I am very happy with my purchase of the Nathan Speed 2 hydration belt! The belt is very comfortable and stretches well to my breathing as I run long distances. The bottles are slightly tight in the holders, but I think they will quickly stretch and be less tight as I use the belt. I highly recommend this belt, it is the best belt I have tried yet.

The belt is very comfortable; however, the bottles leaked. One of my bottles lost half of the fluid in it. I will not buy a Nathan belt again; however, Zappos is still awesome!

This is a great hydration belt. It's very comfortable and it stays in place. I don't even realize I'm wearing it on my runs. The velcro is very strong and the fabric of the belt stretches to fit just right. The bottles are easy to pull out mid run without breaking stride. The 2 bottles are good for those who only require sips every few miles. If you require more, the 4 bottle belt may be better suited for you. The pocket is handy for cell phone, gel packs, keys, etc. Overall, this is a great product highly recommended to make those long runs a little more comfortable.

I like the belt, but the water bottles don't quite seal well. Even filling the bottles half way, when running, water sloshes up and leaks from the seal.

Fantastic belt! I first ordered a medium but exchanged for a small. I'm 5'8" 135lbs. With the small I can wear it high on my waist or lower on my hips. For marathon training I am able to store my droid phone, car key, 6 to 8 GU packs without a thought. I don't feel that it adds any extra weight but I have been training with the belt for 6 months. The velcro is super strong and has held up to the rigors of training in 100+ heat. The bottles are freezable as well. I freeze them the night before a long run and then have cold water throughout the miles.

This works great! I also have the belt with the larger water bottle and having the bottles "split in two" seems to work better for running. I actually wish they made a pack with just one bottle in this size.
