Customer Rating: Summary: pretty good Comment: Like it alot! Wished it was easier to put the bottles back in the holster, so I don't have to use 2 hands. Customer Rating: Summary: Fuel Belt is great Comment: The Fuel Belt has been a great tool for me on long runs. I don't feel it at all while running, no jostling, no movement. I did buy it a bit small due to reviews that stated it might stretch. I don't know that this was the best idea. Completely my fault, but it fell off once while while running because the velcro does not fully overlap. Other than that instance, it has been completely stable. I read some reviews about bottle leakage, but I havent had a problem. Customer Rating: Summary: REALLY small!! Comment: I just bought the fuel belt!! I bought the pink one and it is really cute, but the sad news is it is way too small. I bought the size medium and it is way too tight! Not good to have a muffin top over the fuel belt. I guess it makes you keep running to have to see that sight!! Great idea just remember to order a size bigger!! Customer Rating: Summary: Comfortable and fun Comment: The fuel belt is very convenient and extremely comfortable. The pouch is a bit small and can fit a fair-sized cell phone and a credit card or two but you probably couldn't get a Blackberry in there. The bottles themselves are quite cheezy, but adequate. I really enjoyed the feel of the belt; it's a dramatic improvement over any other water-carrying solutions I've tried in the past. However, the belt holds less than a litre of water, which is skimpy, so you need to be somewhere you can refill.
-- Rebecca Customer Rating: Summary: Marathon Savior Comment: I used the 4 bottle fuel belt for the entire training season for a marathon including on a half marathon race as a beginning runner. I got a medium, when I'm normally a small in running shorts, but that is because I like to wear it down on my hips. The small bottles are nice because they spread the weight more evenly. I usually use the front two to drink from, and when I finish those, I bring the two full bottles to the front. The pocket is expandable, and I can shove three gels and a chapstick in there. I've never had a bottle slip out as I've seen happen to many other people at races, but it does require two hands to put them back in, which I've gotten used to. The little elastic holder isn't really necessary. Over time, my bottles have begun to leak, but they still don't leak when I'm wearing it on a run, just if I put it on the ground without propping everything up. I'm not sure if I have the old or improved bottle.
I've found this is perfect for a half marathon since I load it with a little more concentrated sports drink and drink water at some aid stations. Since I don't want to carry more bottles for the next marathon, I'm going to buy a second set of bottles and have my family give me the second set at the half way point.
I'm a little lazy and haven't cleaned it promptly after a few runs, so a few of my bottles have a permanent sports drink smell, but they clean reasonably well just by putting a dish cloth inside and using a utensil to move it around in the bottle. Archaic, but they're still being used over a year later.
