With a show of hands, how many of yinz have been the recipient of the dreaded eye-roll? I recently received it from my daughter when packing my 80’s fanny pack for a fun-filled vacation. She said, mom, I can’t believe you still have that electric pink fanny pack from when we were small. I was instructed to move into the 21st century with a running belt. It’s technically a fanny pack with a modern design twist.
Runners and joggers need a way to safely carry their phone, keys, and money while exercising. Popular options include using your short pockets, a sports bra, a pocket armband, a racing vest, or a running belt. whichever way you choose to store your valuables, you want to ensure that they are protected and out of the way. While jogging, you do not want your carrying device to interfere with your range of motion or worry about losing your items on the road or track.

Jog in style with your new running belt!
Rather than running the risk of sagging shorts due to insufficient pocket space for your personal items when jogging, a running belt is the ideal solution. Fanny packs date back to the 1980’s with luxury brands like Gucci and Prada were major players back then. Now in the 21st century, they have made a comeback. Though this may be called a running belt, you don’t need to exercise to own one.
When you’re running, the last thing you want is to have all your essentials bouncing around in your pockets. USHAKE’s slim running belt is so lightweight, you may even forget you have it on. The belt is made from nylon and polyester moisture-wicking fabrics. Moisture-wicking means that sweat is moved to the exterior fabric surface and it evaporates quickly. Therefore, you’re not burdened by wet fabric touching your skin.
The running belt fits a wide variety of waist sizes ranging from 24-42″ with a fully adjustable elastic strap. The strong waistband guarantees the running belt to be bounce free and includes reflective straps for night safety. There are 3 pouches sewn in the device. The stretchable main pouch is 3.5 – 3.93 x 8.0 inches. The two side pouches measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Several brands of phones fit into the main pouch including the iPhone 8plus (and smaller versions), both Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Note series, Sony, LG, and other compatible smartphones. The main pouch also includes an access point for your earbud cord.
The running belt pouch is sweat-proof and rain-proof, but not 100% waterproof. (Do not expose the belt to a lot of water or rain for extended periods of time.)
