R-Gear Go The Distance 4-bottle Belt

This fuel belt far surpasses my last one in all manners. The pouch easily fits an ID, 3 gel packs and some chapstick. The bottles are positioned well, balanced evenly throughout, and easy to clean. The belt doesn't ride up while runnning; sits comfortably on your hips.

I bought this when I started training for a half marathon. At first I bought a medium, but it stretched a little with use and so I got a small instead, which fits better. It has to be really tight to not bounce around. I find it helps to alternate the bottles as you drink them to redistribute the weight.

My biggest complaint is that my iPhone 5 does not fit in the pouch. It's a little too small, and the zipper will break. I added an Amphipod beltpod phone holder and that works. Now I can carry my phone and a Gu or some Chomps.

I did notice that it is hard for me to breathe deeply with the belt so tight. I switched to a hydration vest for longer runs (over 10 miles or on the trail), which is easier to breathe. I mostly use this during the week on shorter runs.

Fits well and has 4 bottles so you can stay hydrated
The only problem is the pouch is too small for my phone which has my music and my running app

I sent back the original belt I ordered in small for a medium. I would definitely recommend going up a size from your waist measurement. Also, the pouch is pretty small. Would have liked to seen some loops for gels. Otherwise, a comfortable nice belt for long runs.

I carry fluid replacement on any run that will last 90 minutes or longer. Many of my longest runs are on trails where refilling empty bottles is not possible, so being able to carry sufficient fluids comfortably is important to me. I am always on the look-out for something better than what I'm already using. The RR Sports belt looked like it could be a viable option.

Fuel belts are an individual thing. They either work for you or they don't. This one does't work for me for two reasons.
1. The location of the front bottle carriers causes my forearms to rub on the tops of the front bottles. Since the location of the bottle carriers is fixed, changing my arm swing was the only way to avoid the problem.
2. Sizing. For me, the size medium was not quite large enough and the size large was WAY too large. Cinching up first made it too tight to be comfortable. The second couldn't be cinched up enough to keep it being too loose.

High points are the ability of this belt to carry different size bottles and the padding at key pressure points.
This belt is worth trying. It didn't work for me, but if it fits, it may work well for you.

Like its never there. You just run and you forgot you have your utility belt for water and also to keep your key.
