Useful, but not very durable.
This pouch was great - fit well, didn't shift, held my large phone and chews. Buuut, less than a month after purchasing, it broke. I wonder if I just happened to get a dud, because I've had other tell me theirs is still going strong.

Perfect for dog training and walking. I can put away all the clumsy doggie bag holders and treat holders and key holder and blah blah. You can put the phone in the front the treats in a ziplock or just loose in the right flap for easy access. The keys in the back zipper so they are hella secure and the phone in the front zipper with a bag roll on the side with a face mask as well, without looking like a bulky donut. It’s all tight up against you and wont bounce. NOTE THE MEASUREMENTS are to be taken seriously for the belt not to bounce. The design is meant to sit below your ribs above your hips so measure across the belly button. I’m not an extra small in any pant but I followed the measurement after watching the video and noting that the design requires this fit for it not to bounce. I bought the xs because I have a 27 inch waist and am not dissatisfied. You completely forget you have the belt on and it covers the tummy area in a flattering way so you can wear a sports bra and not be over exposed. It’s downright perfect. I wish is had loops for walking sticks like the Salomon one that is 10 dollars more but I’ll keep my 10 dollars and deal with finding a solution for storing my jacket when it gets colder later in the year.

The first time I wore this was my first half marathon. Since they had water on the course, all I needed to carry was my phone (iPhone 7), ID, and some fuel (two squeezable packets of baby food). Everything fit beautifully with room to spare. No bouncing at all. For reference, I have a 28 inch waist and 36 inch hips and purchased a small. It wasn't super snug, but stayed in place and I forgot it was there. While it claims to be water resistant, it definitely isn't sweat resistant. My phone and ID were a little wet, even inside the zipped pockets.

Works like it should. Haven’t washed it yet but seems like it’d be fine. Material is nice and the zipper works well and seems good quality. Wore it running and everything stayed where it should. My phone (iphone 11 pro) barely fit in the zipper with its case on and was hard to get in and out, so I used the folded pocket and it felt sturdy in there. But I like that I could put my phone in the pocket if I felt I needed to on particularly rigorous runs. Which is really all I need. It’s not like I’m digging for my phone while I’m running anyway.

I ordered the blue in small to wear under my clothes while traveling abroad. The fabric is soft but the band is a bit bulky once I put my cell in the front pocket and my passport in the back. The pockets could be taller. My Motorola G7 cell phone and my passport are a tight squeeze.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits iPhone XS Max
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
I just got this and went on a run with my dog. I got it to carry my iPhone XS Max because it doesn’t fit in any of my running clothes. I have a protective case on my phone and it fits in the zippered pocket but just barely. It was a little awkward to get in and out. I found that it was easier to get in and out of the flap style pocket and it seemed really secure even though it wasn’t a zippered pocket. The other flap style pocket was a good fit for the dogs leash. As far as sizing, I usually get size small running tights and that’s what I got the belt in and it fits pretty well. I wear it down on my hips not at my true waist. It actually seems like it helps hold my running tights up which is an added bonus.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

I had the Hipster running belt before I discovered the Zipster. The are identical with the exception of zippers on two pockets for the Zipster. I prefer the Zipster because of the two pockets with zippers. Keeps some valuable items even more secure. I even bought the magnetic "Buddy Pouch" which holds a small water bottle and often secure that onto the Zipster.

I'm 5'2" and weigh 116 lbs and bought the small size. Both are extremely comfortable and do not bounce at all.

Fits according to the guide. Room for plenty of stuff on your runs so that part is really good. But I had expected it to last longer that two months before the first zipper fell apart. So I cannot really recommend it as I'd expect better from Nathan. Still use it though, but with only one zip-able pocket so will see how long that one lasts.

Muy buen producto.
Dos bolsos con las mismas dimensiones con cierre, y dos por igual sin este último.
Mi smartphone de 5.7" entra un poco ajustado ya que tiene carcasa protectora, pero sin ella entra sin problemas, y una vez dentro, tiene buen juego, y ya ni explicarte para tarjetas u otros objetos pequeños.
Te la recomiendo usar con audífonos Bluetooth, o con conector 3.5 mm con un ángulo de 90°, ya que el que es totalmente recto se te podría dañar por los movimientos al trotar o correr.

My daughter loves this running belt. Not for running though. It's low profile enough to look like it's part of her yoga pants and it's very comfortable. She'll wear it out with her friends to carry her epipens (it can easily fit 2), since she's not a fan of purses yet (she's 10. Wears a women's sized extra small pants). And it has a zipper! So much better than the fold down belts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good running belt
Reviewed in Germany on August 18, 2020

I really like this belt and was a bit unsure at first if it will stay up during a run. After wearing it for the first time for fitting, it didn't have that "tight" feeling (that feeling that it is really so close to your body that it wont fall off), but a "right fit" feeling (that feeling that it slips on nicely but you're not sure if it will stay up), making me wonder if it will stay up on my waist-hip area during the run.

After using it for a few times, I feel that it does hold up well, though I haven't tested it for runs farther than 10km. I bring with me in this belt:
- my iPhone 11 Pro Max with a thick rubber case in the front zipper pocket (yes, it fits!);
- my keys, some cards in a small plastic bag (transportation/health/bank card) and a snack bar in the back zipper pocket;
- my mask on one side pocket (if i need to go to a store after my run) and;
- my small alcohol spritzer on the other side pocket

Just to note, though the phone fits with its thick rubber case, I do have to manoeuvre it a bit in order to slip it in completely so i don't break the pocket as well. Without the thick rubber case, the phone can easily go inside but I'm afraid that the zipper might damage my phone without a case (and so i am now in search of a cheap and thin rubber case just for this).

The belt looks exactly as what is in the photo, and material and built of the belt looks durable. I do agree with one review i read that it seems that maybe one size down might have that nice tight feel to it, but I went ahead and ordered my correct size (according to the Nathan Sports website) just in case the XS will be too tight that I couldn't even slip it on. All in all, i do recommend this belt for minimalist runners or for quick runs. I'm not a minimalist runner, and so if i need to run farther or longer, I use my Nathan Sports vest instead (i use the VaporHowe). :)
