A runners best friend - Flipbelt review

- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2018
- Here is my review of my Flipbelt. Been using this nifty guy for about two years and I couldn't have been more satisfied to find something that works to hold all my stuff while I'm running. It really is a runner's best friend.

Video is over 2 years old and is still one of the most informative videos on this product. Kept it short and to the point while still keeping the viewer entertained. Well done thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped :)
Great review and answered all my questions. Can’t wait!
surfnyolly Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Nice review! Good to hear about it after two years of usage, then you know it's been around a while and is a good purchase.
Thanks! Now it's actually 4 years, some of the stitches got a bit looser in some areas, but still works as well as day 1 :)
usually you can fit 2 cards (ID and Debit card) inside of your phone case on the back of your phone. That way you dont have to have them loose or carry a wallet
It’s a talent to be able to review something and deliver it the wat you did. Great review! 👍
Thank you! Much appreciated 😄
Great review. I loved the information I got from it! Keep it up!
Thanks! I'm glad you got something from it :)
i love this review, it's so through!
Thanks! :) hope you got something out of it!
Thanks for the info!! Ordered one just now because I'm tired of holding my phone all the time when running!
No problem! I felt the same way too!
Cool video man, nice production as well. Thanks for the info!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Great review, I’m going to get one off amazon right now. That along with the back bay duet headphones
Thanks! Glad you could get something out of it!
Thanks for the review!
No problem! :)
Thanks for the great review. Made up my mind about the belt and I'm hitting pay right now!
Malina Agacinski Thanks! I'm glad it helped! I love mine :)
Haha me too. Thank you
And did you like the flipbelt?
Hey Kyle, you should make that winter running video!
This is awesome man.. every runners dreams for sure, especially since it has no bounce ! Wishing you well and I hope we can inspire one another.. new Sub !!
Definitely comes in handy! Awesome to hear :) Thank you!
@Kyle Wong For sure !
Nice review , love the belt . Hand washing it after each use and air drying it is recommend if you live in hot climates. I would also add that need to keep your phone on lock and in some kind of a light case whilst running . I use Spotify and blue tooth head phones and have de activated my phone a few times and called people while running from phone rubbing against body . Belt also gets a little heavy from sweat if you run in extreme heat .
Nice tips! I had the iPhone 6S when I made this video, and my iPhone XR is a bit more chunky so won't fit in the flipbelt if I have a case on/it would be an extremely tight fit. I haven't had issues with the screen turning on if I have a case on and touch to power on is off. I definitely accidentally deactivated my phone before and found it annoying - but it's normally because the screen is still receiving touch inputs from your body through the fabric, I've had no issues if the screen faces outwards.
Cheers!
Thank you for this video! I just purchased it right now and I was wondering if I could carry a water bottle in it and your review definitely helped, I’m probably going to buy the water bottle as well!!!
No problem! Glad it helped :)
Great vid!! Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
I'm a simple guy. Don't like wearing any arm bands, head phones, water packs etc. I'm a sub elite runner though and this looks perfect to store all the running gels I need without having anything stick out on the outside. Plus I can throw in ibuprofen if I need. This looks perfect thank you
Yes, it works really well for just the essentials! Glad you got something out of the video! :)
And thank you for not dragging it along. You got right to the point yet still made a very well thought out opinion. Will subscribe
Cool video, thanks for sharing and kind regards from Germany 👍
Thanks! Glad I could help :) hello from Canada 🇨🇦 👋
Thanks a lot. I may get one.
Glad to hear!
PRO TIP: Yeah, I have this anxiety of losing my cards too so I bought a Ridge wallet clone on Amazon for like $15 and slip my cards in there before slipping the whole thing in the belt. If that thing falls out, you'd know, unlike cards themselves.
Nice video!
Thank you!
you mean it gets so cold some places that phones stop working??😅 I have the opposite problem in Houston🔥lol but thanks for the review! I usually just run with my Garmin watch and thats it but Snagging this so I don't have to carry my phone in my hand next marathon!
Haha yes, unfortunately once it gets too cold the phone battery does not like that and would power off until warmed up again. Great to hear, I imagine this would be great for a marathon because it's out of your way and could store a bit of water. Cheers!
Love the vid great info, was just wondering what your waist size is ( I saw you said 36” but that seems way to big for your body shape, did u mean 26”?) and if you could would u get a bigger or smaller size?
Aegon Thank you! 🙏 oh yeah I meant 26”, my bad! I was on the smaller end on the small size since it’s 26”-29”, this is a good size for me, but if your on around 29” I might bump up to a medium so it’s not too tight.
Great video! Just subscribed!
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
@@KyleCWong You are welcome stay connected!
Does this hold up for sprinting workouts? I like my music but i hate holding my phone in my hand to while sprinting
I don't do sprints, but in interval running, it's not a problem as long as you get the right size!
Hi, It is the flipbelt Classic ? You don't need the hydratation one to carry a bottle of water ? Thanks for your help
Eric Gignac Hi Eric, yeah it's just a regular flip belt. They also sell the flipbelt water bottles individually if you're interested I think it's $10-15 depending on where you're from!
Hi, Thanks for your quick answer.
Eric Gignac No problem!
It looks like maybe you solved the riding up issue by wearing it up around your waist instead of hips? Did you get a smaller one for that reason? If you wanted it around the top of your pants would it stay there? I’m shopping for a runner in my life and he has mentioned the “ride up” problem of other belts.
I tried wearing it around my hips, but I found that it wasn't comfortable because it restricted my movement, and it would ride up to my waist anyways. I have a fairly skinny waist, so I got small so it would fit more snug. With other solutions I was always worried about chafing on the skin, but I've had this for about 3 years now and have had no issues.
Is the zipper one better or classic? Theyre pretty much the same, but zipper seems better
John Smith I found that the original is just fine, I don't worry about my things falling out, but if you want the extra security, can go for the zipper. Also helps if you want to carry change!
Is there any issue with the phone bouncing around during long runs? Also is it moisture proof on the inside?
If you get the right size, the phone should stay right up against your body - no bouncing! It's not moisture proof inside, which is not ideal for long hot runs, cause your phone can get soaked in sweat, but I haven't found any issues with my phone.
@@KyleCWong Great to know! Thanks for the quick reply :)
@@johnnyjoe88 No problem! :)
does the inside has a lining to prevent your phone from getting wet? ive a belt and the screen is full of sweat on it the screen just cant respond anymore
No, its just the fabric, I can relate to pulling out my phone and being soaked in sweat, but I just flip it so the screen faces away from my body. Hope this helps!
Pls advsie Width & Total Openings on this belt ..thanks
MS Andy Hey the width of the belt is 3" and the openings are 2.5" hope that helped!
Hi... I'm seeing this in April 2021. What does it look like today? or whatevver the lengthiest flipbelt that you have?
So far I've had it for about 5 years now, some of the stitching has been falling loose (doesn't effect functionality), but still feels and works the same as when I had it day one. I still use it :)
@@KyleCWong Wow it’s truly amazing. Thanks for the reply, very good to know!
It being against the body might be good for freezing temperatures, but it would be horrible for hot temperatures!! DX Other than that and maybe be annoying getting on and off, it seems good. I would just put my cards and loose flat things in a light flip wallet thing and maybe also bring a small pouch for loose tiny items like change.
Yeah you're absolutely right, can get uncomfortable in the heat because its double layered it's not as breathable - especially if you have some stuff in the flipbelt. But I find that if I'm running in the heat, the trade off is worth it to not have to hold my phone and be able to bring water.
did you buy it in Toronto or ordered online?
Ordered online :)
How many gems can it carry with the water bottle?
6 oz in the small bottle and 11 oz in the big bottle :)
Does your breathing feel inhibited?
Naruto Uzumaki No, I feel fine! :) the band is elastic, but not tight if you get the appropriate size
Is the flip belt water proof ?
Khairuddin BIN JAMALUDDIN it's made of a stretch cloth so sweat can soak through it especially on hot days. I haven't had any issues with storing things though!
yooo that bottle is SMALL!
It is! Super handy to bring around!
Bought one of these belts and my phone fell out not good.
Did you put it back in with the flaps covering your phone? I think it's recommended that you flip the belt after you store your phone/card/money in there
Thanks Kyle yes I now do that every time .Cheers
Hello new friend , I am new here, have a good day
