What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I started wearing the Hofter Hip-Belt on longer training runs when I do not want the bulk of a vest, and it has completely filled that gap. The stretch belt disappears around your waist within the first mile, and having five pockets worth of access means my gels and phone each have their own spot without any shuffling around."Not every run needs a vest, but leaving the house without your phone, your gels, and your keys is not really an option either. The USWE Hofter Hip-Belt is the answer for everything in between, wrapping around the waist with an ultra-soft stretch belt that conforms to the body and stays put whether you are running easy miles on a path or pushing hard on a technical trail. The water-resistant main pocket handles the things that cannot get wet, and five quick-stash pockets spread the rest out so nothing is stacked on top of anything else, and every item has a place it actually lives. Worn under a shirt, it is completely invisible, which makes it just as useful for travel days and race mornings as it is for a solo training run. The Hofter Hip-Belt is the kind of simple, well-considered piece of kit that quietly becomes the thing you grab before every run, regardless of distance.
