Amphipod Micropack Landsport

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

I purchased the Amphipod while deployed to Iraq this summer. Being active duty military and having to carry lots of identification, keys and other misc items everyday it was a savior. I completed upwards of 20+ 5K's and three half marathons and never realized that was even attached. I use this product everyday and it never fails

Unfortunately, this holder did not work out for me like I expected. If I wear it in the front of my shorts, I can feel it when I bend my leg. If I wear it in the back, it's comfortable to wear, but I can't access it without removing it. I can remove it while still moving, but to put it back on is a real pain and requires two hands.

Also, if my shorts are the least bit loose, the weight of the holder pulls them down.

I guess I'm the only one who uses this little pouch outside of a workout. I originally bought it for running but somewhere along the line I realized I can use it to get by without a wallet sometimes.

If I'm in swim trunks at the beach or just wearing them around town in the summer, this becomes a way to add a secure pocket to clothing that doesn't provide one. I stuff a license, credit card, healthcare card, and a few bills in it along with my keys. None of that stuff is sensitive to water and I know I'm not going to lose it. No more leaving a wallet on the beach while you're in the water and worrying if it will be there when you get back. Or, stuffing a fat wallet and keys into the side pocket of swim trunks and having it bounce around with every step or worrying about it falling out while you're seated.

I had a problem with keeping my work ID with me while running, as it is required to get back on the campus. I also had a problem with locking myself out of my car while running. I also had a problem of carrying a couple of gu's, a gu chomp, or other in-run fuel. This solved all of those problems in a compact fashion. No complaints about fit, comfort, or falling off the waist band. It works for my needs and I imagine for most runners needs.

Very cool product. It can not come off once attached and it doesn't bounce around. By some of the comments, I'm sure that some people are wearing this the "wrong way". The pack itself goes between your waistband and body (or underwear). The part with the label faces out. This keeps the label from chafing and greatly cuts down on the nerdy look. ;)

I really like this holder for when I'm on my runs. I never have enough room to carry a key, id, and treats on my run, but this is perfect. Clasp works really well and stays put!!

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

Works well to carry small items- I carry my ID and my ipod. They are secure and have never fallen out. Some reviewers have mentioned chafing after a while- the company sowed their logo tag onto the side next to your skin. The corners of the tag are what rub. I cut the stitches and took the tag off- no more problem and don't even feel it anymore.

I use this to carry my I-pod. I use my I-pod with Nike+ system and it is hard to get I-pod out quickly to push buttons.

Use this for my iPod while running. Great product.

Very handy and easy to use.

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

It's great for those times when you need a pocket and don't wish to advertise your carrying your valuables on your person. It's snug fit allows for a slim silhouette. Will try the waterproof version next.

Great product for your short daily runs. I use for ID, key and cash. Do not feel a thing during the run. Clamp holds securely to you shorts and flap seals with velcro. May not large enough for a phone for sure not a Blackberry.

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

I use this product to go running only, and it works well, no doubt. I like the fact that I can put documents and even money and keys in there, but I also find that the format is a little inconvenient, big on the top and narrow at the bottom.

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

At first I thought this was something made for the amphipod belt- however this has it's own clip. I found it too heavy to clip on my waste band so I clip it to my dog leash and it works great.

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

I use this product to hole my GU packs, iPod, and Keys while I run. It doesn't bounce around and holds just enough to get me through a few hours of training. Great Product, wish I had bought two when it was the deal of the day!

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

I bought two of these - one for myself and one for my husband. It is not something I thought we would use every day, and after seeing them, I still feel that way. We live in New England and for a good portion of the year, we are running in jackets with pockets. Only in the heat of summer do we sometimes find ourselves needing storage that our shorts/skirts don't provide, or when we are traveling. When that happens, I think these will be a godsend. They are just the right size for a cell-phone, room key and or/ some cash or ID. WARNING: They are too small to hold a US passport, no matter what the description says. I imagine you could fit a few GUs in here and still have room. It took me a second to figure out the open/close mechanism when I first opened the package, but it works well and I think it will be comfortable to run with. My husband had a cell-phone "holder" that he kept strapped to his camelback for biking, and he plans to remove that and use this exclusively. It seems much more comfortable to have your phone up against your body than flopping around in the back pocket of a bike jersey. Most of my running skirts have pockets in the shorts, but I find sometimes the phone works its way up and out - not any more! The material seems sturdy and perfect for this use. All of that said, I feel like we will look like "Nerd runners" wearing these. It's not the most fashionable/elegant solution. I guess that's the price we'll have to pay!

I've been using this product for several months, and I generally like it. Once it is clipped on, it will not fall off. It is big enough for my needs (several gels, subway card, money and ID). However, I recently used it to run a marathon in humid weather, and by mile 20, I had to carry the pouch. While the edges are somewhat soft, it cut into me leaving what looks like a skinned hip/upper thigh area. I guess I could try putting body glide on that skin area, but the rubbing is one consideration that should be weighed when buying this (and comparing it to a belt).

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

This pouch is great! Wore it through 2 marathons and training. Managed to stuff 2 bags of shot blox and 2 bags of sport beans for a marathon - good thing my pants had a drawstring. But I do wear this with my skorts (with fewer snacks) and it does great. A fantastic solution to no pockets and safety pinning gels to your shorts.

Comments about Amphipod Micropack Landsport Holders:

This is a great pack even though it's a little small for my needs. I have a pack with a belt, but it was starting to bug me (bouncing around), so this was my solution. The good news is that once you clip it on, it isn't going to fall off. If you put heavy stuff in it, you better tie your shorts on to prevent bounce. It's comfortable and doesn't rub. The bad news is that it isn't as big as advertised. I could fit my Razr in there, but not anything else. It definitely doesn't hold a passport. Amphipod does make a larger pack called the explorer which is about 50% bigger. Roadrunner Sports needs to carry this one too! Hint, hint... Yes, some of us run less lightly. I'll definitely use this for shorter runs, but I'd definitely need a larger pack and/or shorts with more pockets for a race (car keys and phone and gels and ID and money). Yeah, I know I don't travel light, but I want to be comfortable anyway!

I've had this product for 8 years and it's fantastic. Holds credit cards, money, key, ID, chapstick - just ran a marathon and had my cell phone in it. It's the best.
