Pretty happy with this fuel pack! When I first got it I thought it seemed too small, but it stretches comfortably (I am 5'9, weigh 155lbs & size Large works). It feels like it's barely there when running. Was perfect for my 1/2 marathon training. I could fit my cell phone and a cliff bar or gels in the pouch.
Great belt pack October 31, 2008

Very nice product with adequate features for medium distances. I also purchased a Nathan 20oz hand held to go along with the two 10oz water bottles to allow for longer runs. After several runs I found I like having both of my hands free so I ordered an extra clip on water bottle and large zipper pouch to store gels. An average runer could easily go 1-2 hours out on the trails with this pack - if used in conjunction with other Nathan products or have access to drop bags this would be the perfect belt for a race
I have not had any trouble with the bottles falling out ot the belt "sloshing" around as I run. I like having the weight of the water on the back instead of the sides (the bottles do not get in that way of any arm motion)
The rear pouch is large enough to store a cell phone - two gel packs - emergency matches, car key, shoelaces and tissue
I love it! October 29, 2008

I love this belt! I take it with on runs longer than 4-5 miles, and find that in 70 ish weather I will use up both bottles on an 8 mile run. I can fit my iphone and an energy gel pack in the pocket too.
Bottles are easy to get out and put back in while running, as well as getting into the pocket.
I agree with other reviews about the size. I am 5'1 and 125, and according to the description, I should've ordered the small. But I followed the others advice and got the medium. Glad I did! It fits great and I know the small would have been way too small.
Best hip belt for running October 26, 2008

This is the best fuel/hydration belt I own, hands down. Holds enough for 10 mile runs or shorter and doesn't ride or bounce like the others do.
Best hydration pack I've used October 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've struggled with many different hydration packs over the years and have never found one that is right. Prior to purchasing the Nathan Speed 2, I was using the Fuel Belt Endurance 4 Bottle Fuel Belt, which was a pain because the bottles sloshed around and the belt wasn't a true fit. Additionally, it required the use of two hands to remove a bottle.
The Nathan Speed 2 is designed to be worn so that the bottles are on the front of the belt (although you can wear it reversed with no problems). It holds two 10 oz flasks for a total of 20 oz of water. The front pouch has ample room for cell phone, energy gels, keys, etc. Additionally, the pouch is compartmentalized, so you can put your sticky energy tell trash in one pocket and your cell phone in the other. There's also a clip on the inside pouch so you can secure your key ring. While it's very unlikely anything will come out of the velcro-secured pouch, this gives added peace of mind for those who may be doing rigorous trail running or wading through a stream for some reason (I am always checking my keys to make sure they haven't fallen out).
As to the flasks, it would be nice to carry more water, but 20oz is usually enough to get me through a 13 mile run. If you're looking for more, try the Nathan Speed 4 Waist Pack with Four 10-Ounce Nutrition Flasks. The flask holsters are made of molded plastic, which means they are strong and don't move. They sit slightly away from my hips, so I don't have to deal with them banging against my hips and thighs the entire run. The flasks fit securely in the holsters, so no additional securing is needed. With my old Fuel Belt I had to use two hands to remove a flask, one to remove the elastic band holding the flask in place, and the other to take out the flask. The Nathan holster is just tight enough where the flask will not come out accidentally, but isn't too tight to slide right into the holster. The lip of the flask is easy to open with your mouth. Unlike the Fuel Belt, which I had to pull open with my teeth, the Nathan lip easily opens up with gentle pressure from my lips, and closes just as easily to form a tight seal.
The belt is one of the best parts about this product. It is stretchable elastic, which is a must for me after trying to use nylon belts with clips. The velcro forms a strong connection, and the belt fits snugly against my hips. I've found the belt is more comfortable if I wear it very low on my hips, right over the hip flexor muscle. This may seem weird at first, but I suggest anyone to try it for a couple miles and see what you think. The belt will not ride up easily, and it will not slide down your legs either. Try to put it as low as possible, and right on top of your butt. Lastly, the belt is made of breathable moisture-wicking material, so it will not hold sweat easily and is easy to clean. A great product.
