Raide Research UL 1L Running Belt

This belt feels light and thin, almost as if you are wearing nothing. The back pocket is secured against your lower back, so a full bottle does not slide around. Because the pocket wraps all the way around, you can easily distribute your belongings across your hips.

It comes into its own best during training sessions where you need something to drink and eat, but not much more. Think of a long run along the Amstel, a weekday trail run in the Amsterdamse Bos, or a warm summer run of one and a half to two hours. Halfway through your run, you notice the difference: you grab your bottle or gel without stopping, and afterwards you don't have a sweaty back like you would with a jacket.

If in doubt, consider how long and how far you run. This belt is ideal for your daily training, but for long trail runs with a jacket, extra food, and a larger bottle, space is limited. In that case, the larger LF 2L is the better choice. Choose the right size, as the belt works best when it fits snugly around your hips.

In short: the lightweight belt for almost every workout.
