Amphipod Profile Lite 12 Ounce

Comments about Amphipod Profile Lite 12 ounce Hydration:

I'm not a runner, purchased this to use for forest preserve dog walks. Can carry water along hands free, the squirt type bottle is good for giving the dog (and myself) a drink. The little zippered storage compartment is a bit small, could fit keys, id and some money. If you have a smart phone it will not fit in here.

I am training for my first half-marathon and needed something I could bring out on longer runs. I've never used a belt before, mainly due to concerns over bounce and noise. I'm happy to report I had neither issue while using this belt! The 12oz. bottle is the perfect size (every other belt I've seen is 20oz.) and nestled right into my lower back. No issue with slipping, bouncing, or splashing. Highly recommend!

Training for first 1/2 marathon, I was looking for a running belt that was lightweight and small enough for my needs. I chose the 12 oz. bottle size as that is all I felt I needed for the distances I run regularly. This belt sits comfortably along my lumbar (no bouncing or rubbing), and the belt around my waist does not rub or become intrusive. The zipper pouch is a tad small (my cell phone does not quite fit all the way in), but it holds just about everything else I need. I would not hold that part against my overall rating as I said earlier, I wanted something small in size.

I run long distances and trained all last year for a marathon with a hand-held water bottle. I live in Mississippi and training here throughout the summer can be dangerous because of the heat. I decided to try this one because I just needed a change.

I was very skeptical that I would like it. The first time I ran with it, I felt burdened by it, but now that I have gotten used to it, I will not take a long run without it. I just needed to find a comfortable spot for it to sit on my waist. Once I got that figured out, it was great. I really don't even think about it anymore; literally forget it's there. I love the zipper pocket on the back. It's perfect for my gels. The bottle is easy to slip in and out and it's easy to drink from.

I have another belt that I wear sometimes to hold tissues, phone etc. and I can wear both at the same time with no problem.

The only drawback is that the bottle is smaller and I do need to refill it on runs longer than 7 or 8 miles. Luckily, I usually have the opportunity to do this where I run. I'm very pleased with this product and I'm thinking of buying one for my daughter.

I don't drink a lot of water, so I was looking for something small. You do need to wear it on your waist instead of your hips to keep it still.
