Lighter than the OGLighter than the original. Sometimes wraps over itself since it is so wide, but overall, I will use for marathons and ultras!

Great running band, sizing is oddLove this running band, here is my breakdown:
Pros: Wide band for tons of storage, loops for poles or shirt, lightweight material.
Cons: Not a fan of the bib number holder. I measured my waist as per the recommendation and had to send back for a size larger and it's still pretty tight.

Amazing beltI’ve tried many belts, but this one has by far been my favorite, especially for long-distance runs when I need to carry a lot. During a recent marathon, it held a soft flask, and it didn’t bounce around, and 8 gels. If between sizes, I’d recommend sizing up.
Not Bad At AllBought this to carry hydration/gels for marathons. I have a Salomon vest, which I think is easier to access water in, but it increases body temperature for me. Took some practice to get soft flasks in and out of this. I actually prefer to wear it backwards so the large pocket is in front and the side pockets are in back.

Gets the job done.Nice snug fit. No bouncing. Plenty of storage space. Only knock is it can roll up a little top and bottom because not much structure to it.

Solid BandGot this to replace a very simple band that I have had for many years. Unfortunately, the fit seemed to run a little small and even though this band looked very simple on the site there are more “extra” pieces to it like the plastic clasps that hang off on the sides. Other than that it fills the need of storing a few small items on a long run. Plenty of room of phone, gels, and other small items

Good bye bounceThe Naked running belt keeps your water bottles and gels secure with absolutely no bouncing. I ran a marathon shortly after receiving the Naked belt and it helped me set a PB. During the 26.2 miles the belt stayed secure and in place, water didn’t bounce around, and with the large pull tabs on the pockets it helped me access my supplies with ease. I would recommend this running belt.
Best hydration transport ever!Since buying my Naked Running Band in May 2019, I’ve ditched vests for good—this lightweight belt holds everything I need, including 1L of water via two 500ml soft flasks, with almost no bounce, making it perfect for runs from trails to pavement. It took some wiggling to nail the snug, non-adjustable fit, but once on my hips, it’s a dream: the breathable Exopower mesh shines in Florida’s brutal summer heat—think 90F and 80% humidity—drying sweat fast and dodging chafing, while three stretchy pockets plus silicone loops stash my phone, gels, keys, and even a jacket effortlessly. After nearly six years, it’s still durable, easy to hand wash, and my go-to for minimalist running, though sizing can be tricky if your weight shifts, and it’s not waterproof (bag your phone on rainy days). For anyone—especially Floridians—wanting a streamlined, bounce-free carry without vest bulk, this band’s a winner.

Top qualityPerfect training belt for my ultras and marathons. Practically wear it every run now to hold my phone, flask and if weather warms up my shirt/jacket. No bounce if you size right. Does run small, I keep it above my hips.

Best running belt optionPrecise fit and great storage. I used this for my most recent marathon and it worked great to carry a 500ml soft flask and all my gels.

Feel unnatural and too clumsySome friends recommended this, and I got the wider one for bottle and possibly trekking pole. However it felt very clumsy and unnatural. I had to return it.

AwesomeNo bounce. Tons of storage. Super comfy--forget I am wearing it. Make sure to measure your waist to dial in your size...
Just right for a 2 hour trail runVery lightweight minimalist belt that can hold your phone, keys, a windbreaker, water and some gel. It is very stretchy and does not bounce at all and gives you some extra back support. It is also very breathable and does not add a layer of insulation so is one of the coolest ways to carry your gear on a long run.

Ultimate BandSuper light fabric. Be mindful of the sizing. It runs a bit small.

No bounce, lots of storageThe naked Running band is great because it doesn’t bounce, and even when it rides up higher on my waist, it still doesn’t bounce. Make sure you read the sizing guide to get the right fit. The running band also has a great amount of storage so I can take my phone, keys, small layers, and all my nutrition I need for my run without it feeling overloaded.

Best running belt out there!Stays put & fits so much stuff, even a water bottle! I’ve done multiple 20 mile runs in it and can’t wait to test it out in a race soon!

Great belt!Have tried multiple belts, this is the one that fits best. Be sure to measure your waist! Very specific sizing.

Ok BeltDecent belt. Keeps items in place, but noticed stitching already coming undone after 6-7 runs. Could just be my belt, but worth noting. I had better luck with Salomon pulse belt

Great running bandI love how this stays secure on your waist.
Truthfully I mainly got this so I could have a convenient way to carry my poles when I run.
Overall it’s not very jumpy. If you get one that is jumpy I recommend you try another size. Beauty of this product is all the different sizes so you can get one that fits.

Spacious and SnugIt’s a nice running belt. I’ve had a couple of belts before but I had to get one that will carry me through a marathon. It fit so much stuff like about 9-10 gels, phone, 250ml flask or even 500 ml flask and more. Another reason I bought it is because it does not bounce around with or w/o contents as long as it is the right size, it’s snug and comfortable to run with. I just wish there’s a pocket with zipper to at least hold id/keys (it has a key holder).

Second TryThe first time purchasing Naked was not good. I gave the belt a second try and now love it to carry soft flasks and ditch the vest.

Sizing MattersTo optimize the belt make sure you read the sizing instructions. If you get the right size no bounce and easily load it down with fuel and water.

No bounce, all funI fit my phone, multiple gels and a 16oz soft flask in here. No bounce, I could fit more if I wanted!! Used for multiple 20milers and a 50k so far. Planning to use for a 100miler!! Also, No chafing!!!!! all

Naked BandThis is my second Naked running band. The first one has lasted 3 years and still works but is starting to get holes in the mesh. This band is great for its simplicity and minimal bounce when running. Make sure you dial in your size to get a good fit. I can fit a 500ml soft flask in the back and 250ml flasks in the two other pockets plus some gels. The material doesn’t stretch much over time but if you keep on putting a 500ml flask in a pocket, there is a chance you can rip or stretch the mesh. Again I wore it 3+ times a week for a few years and it held up fine. I like that this new version has the black lettering to make it more subtle. Would buy again.

Great for long runsFound this to be great on long runs and for ultra- training and racing. I tested it with (2) 18oz soft flasks and a PF+H flow flask. This does NOT work at faster speeds with full flasks (bouncing), but anything slower than that, this was great and a nice alternative to the hydration vest. The more I drank the water in my soft flasks down, the better it seemed to hold them (I was really pushing the capacity)

Great StartI've only taken one long run in the Naked Band, but I'm a fan. I really didn't feel my water flask, keys, headlamp, phone etc. the whole run. I thought I may have needed to exchange for a size up when trying it on, but it was perfect when loaded on the run.

Great, The best !!!Great, amazing, the best belt i ever tested, i used every day, the softh flask 600 ml, 500ml even a 360 ml no problem for this product, any you have, thanks naked and running warehouse for this great product!

Naked, nothing is thereSwitched from a 1bottle belt to this & it was a game changer. I've used it on the roads and trails with no issue of it bouncing around or the bulky feel (one 14oz soft flask & 2 neversecond gels, with more space for more items!) I measured as instructed & 8 fits well as it sits lower around my waist. But, I would try a 7 if I wanted the belt to fit higher above my hips. Would recommend this product.

Just what I’m looking forFor reference, this is my first belt but I wanted some storage for gels, and two soft flasks that was lightweight and most doesn’t bounce or stay put. Check & check.
Very pleased with the product, wish the cost was bit lower but I decided to go for it with something I’ll be spending hours and hours with. Went with 1 size smaller assuming it’ll stretch out a bit and I’ll inevitably lose a few lbs during marathon training. So far its holding shape great, I think I could have gone with my true waist size and it’d be great.
Very pleased!

Naked BandI own several running bands and I was excited to try this Naked band as it’s rated as the best one. I only run with 1 flask and like to store it up front with my phone in the back. Unfortunately this band does not have front storage, only the sides and the back, there’s stitching up front separating the two side storages. I couldn’t find an optimal place for my flask, keys and phone without being totally uncomfortable. I’m sure it works for most if they carry a flask on each side but not for me.

Naked running bandAll I need when running a long run, gel, phone, key and more. love this band.

Don’t get anything elseI hate carrying anything while running. I’ve tried packs and other belts, but they all end up sitting in my closet because they bounce or chafe or can’t carry enough. But the naked belt is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Naked running bandI unfortunately got the wrong size to start, I got the 2 instead of the 3. The smaller size made it difficult to breath when running, but the problem was solved by sizing up!
I do really enjoy this belt, the pole holders are incredible and you really can jam a lot into it. Sometimes you don’t even feel like you have it on!

Best Running BeltI have tried multiple running belts and this one is by far the best! Easily hold 2 500L soft flasks and can hold 3 if necessary

My favorite piece of daily running gear.I use the naked running band daily for everything from short weekday runs to long runs in the mountains or canyons. I've used it in road half marathons to carry my phone and a soft flask and in trail 100 milers to carry several soft flasks and extra nutrition. This thing is amazing! You can carry so much and forget you're wearing it. I highly recommend using a cloth tape measure and following the size chart as it's supposed to fit snug.

great designAs noted in other reviews, this belt is great for carrying a lot with you.
Pictures don't capture how lightweight and sheer the material is -- it breathes remarkably well, and if sized appropriately, you barely notice it while running. ( I rounded my measured waist up and added one inch, and the fit is just right).
Also, note that it's easier to get on and adjust position if you make sure you're handling the inner layer, not the pockets.

Best running beltI’m a seasoned runner of 45 plus years of running and this is the best belt I’ve ever purchased. I actually have 3 of the naked running belts. Always nice to have a dry on to put on in the Texas heat.

Holds What You NeedEven though there are no zippers in any of the pockets, there's some magic going on with the fabric that they do not fall off. With previous running bands, there's bounce when it holds a flask. That's not quite the case with the Naked Running Band. For keys, there's a nice clip that keeps them very secure. On hot summer runs, you can rest assured that you can hold your skirts in between the two rear elastic straps.

Great Product. Make sure you size it upThis is the best running belt I've used. You really can't ask for more. I usually put a water flask, phone, couple energy gels, car key, and salt pills for my run. And they all fit perfectly no bouncing. I love the little thing I can pull to put my flask back.
Only thing is sizing. I ordered a 5 first based on my measurement + a little buffer but still feel super tight. So make sure you size up.

Perfect BeltThis running belt is perfect for your week day runs. You could honestly get away with longer efforts as well using this belt if you wanted to leave the vest behind. It fits a soft flask, gels, and your phone easily.
No bounce.
