Although I'm not a marathon runner, I sometimes want some water or fuel on a run. I had always seen other runners with their various belts and wondered how they worked, etc. Fuel Belt sent me the Helium four bottle belt and I immediately tried it out.
The first thing I want to mention is that I received it in pink. Running gear is ugly most of the time, so a splash of pink is just what I need to make me "run pretty".
The Fuel belt fit snugly around my hips, but comfortably. I was concerned that it was going to bother me while running, but once I got going and had it in just the right spot, it didn't bounce at all.
I only filled two out of the four water bottles. (I only run about three miles at a time). The water bottles were the right size and they were easy to open while running. I did have some difficulty getting them in and out of the elastic holsters. However, with time I know this would be easier.
I love the idea that the bottles are dishwasher safe so I can throw them in when I come home from a run and be ready to go the next day. With using two at a time, I will use two, wash them, use the other two and so on.
The Helium belt also has a small pouch so you can carry a key, gel, etc. Usually belts make you chose between water OR carrying things.
I also liked the material the belt was made of. It dried quickly and didn't pinch or pill my clothes.
