Comfort
Salomon created a belt that keeps the runner comfortable by eliminating a few common problems with running belts. The first is the fit. This belt comes in a variety of four different sizes so runners can find the best fit for their size and shape. These different sizes in conjunction with the thoughtfully selected materials ensure that this belt will stay in place. The belt is made using a 4-way stretch fabric that conforms to the shape of the runner. It is lightweight and breathable. It stays in place without the risk of riding up and causing irritation or chaffing but it is also made from a highly breathable material that allows air to flow freely through the product. The belt features a tubular fit that is specifically engineered to wrap around the body and create a customized fit for each runner.
Size
The secret to the success of this belt is its ability to rest snuggly against the body without riding up or moving around. Due to the need for it to stay snuggly in place, Salomon created 4 different sizing options. In addition to this, Salomon uses a 4-way stretch mesh and the use of their patented tubular design to stay in place. Many runners commented that a snug fit is imperative to getting the most out of this product, so they suggested a smaller size as opposed to a larger size when deciding between the two.
Accessories
This belt is made using a simple construction, and its minimalist style is one of the qualities that runners like best about this product. It is made using a tubular design that simply and effectively wraps around the body and stays secure. It doesn’t offer a wide range of accessories, and for runners looking for a running belt with lots of bells and whistles, this might not be the best choice. It has a total of 3 stretches, mesh pockets along the outside of the belt in easy to access area. It also is made with diagonal straps that criss-cross the product to provide an area of extra storage or as a place to store hiking poles. It comes in 4 color options and comes with reflective elements along the belt to protest runners while they run in low visibility areas.
Use
Runners, hikers, skiers, travelers, and adventure enthusiasts love this belt as a hand free alternative to carry all of their most important items while they are out on the slopes, trails, or roads. This product is not designed to carry all of the athlete’s items, but instead, can be used as a glorified fanny pack to keep the most important items like keys, money, cell phone, GPS device and hydration snug against the body and easy to access. This product is designed to eliminate bouncing and unwanted movement so athletes can concentrate on their activity and not worry about irritation. The pockets are strategically placed so athletes can reach all of their equipment quickly and efficiently without needing to stop their movement. This came in especially handy for serious runners who are attempting to achieve a certain time goal.
Style
The design and the ultra soft materials used to construct this belt give it versatile wearing options. The jersey mesh that covered the belt and the 4-way stretch material is soft and comfortable enough that this belt can be worn directly against the skin with no irritation. It is also stretchy enough that is can fit snuggly over running clothes as well. If runners choose to wear it outside of their clothes, they will be pleased with the four different, trendy color combinations that Salomon offers. Runners also liked that this belt has the capacity to store all of their most important items during their activities, but it is still able to maintain a sleek, streamlined look.
Breathability
