Win a @FlipBelt!

You guys. I am so excited to share this product with you. Back story: I use my iPhone to keep track of my milage when I run. I don't have a Garmin or anything like that, just the MapMyRun app and a free hand for my iPhone. But dropping my iPhone and shattering it to bits is not an option. You might recall that I purchased a running belt on clearance a few months ago. And I actually really liked it, but there seemed to be just one problem with it—It would only fit my iPhone.

When my training runs for the Chicago Women's Half Marathon went double-digit, this just wouldn't do as I needed to carry some sort of nourishment with me. So I did some research and found this:


I honestly can't tell you how I discovered FlipBelt (probably on another blog...perhaps with a side of divine intervention), but I got so excited about it that I promptly contacted the company to see if they'd be willing to let me test one out in exchange for a published review. You see, the FlipBelt is essentially a gigantic pocket.

It promises to hold your phone, keys, gels and more without losing a single thing mid-run, and without a single bounce to it.

It comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Yep, sizes. One quick measure of your waist (at whatever point you intend to wear it), and you're guaranteed a great fit.

It also comes with this handy waterproof bag since the belt itself is not waterproof.

Waterproof...sweat proof...same thing when you're a runner.

Seriously, words cannot describe how comfortable this thing is.

I swear to you on wine and chocolate that it doesn't bounce. Or ride up. I honestly cannot even tell that I'm wearing it.

Little pocket:

Like I said, the entire thing is essentially one gigantic pocket, and there are two of these access slits in the front and two in the back.

Puh-lenty of space for the iPhone.
You just slide it in...

...and then literally flip the entire belt over so that the seams sit up against your body.

This ultimately prevents anything from falling out. See, all tucked in:

I will admit to having some difficulty getting my iPhone in and out of the belt while I was running. And when I carry nourishment, it's usually a pack of GoGoSqueeze or something like that, which I wear on the back side of the belt. It's equally hard to remove, but I don't mind having to stop running for a few seconds to take care of business.

It's a small price to pay for a belt that truly doesn't bounce, is super affordable and is easy to clean. I wash it in cold water with the rest of my fit gear and it comes out like-new.

Love this thing:

I'm pretty sure you will, too. Even if you aren't a runner. It's perfect for biking, walking and/or strength sessions at the gym. You can go hands-free, but still pack your phone, music, whatever. It's a total winner.

And you might be, too!
