Disclaimer: SLS3 sent me this running belt for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
If you run enough races, you know the importance of a good running belt. I am still trying to find a good belt that works for all of my runs, so I was very excited to try out the SLS3 Dual Pocket Run Belt.
One thing that make this belt different are the dual pockets. I love having a pocket for my phone and iPod and other pocket for everything else (tissues, lip gloss, running fuel, etc).
One pocket for my running fuel |
One pocket for my iPod and lip gloss (my phone fit in this pocket as well) |
Here’s the front of the belt – you can see the two pockets! |
Here is the back of the belt – it’s super adjustable |
The running belt comes in black, but you have your choice of black, lime green, blue or purple for the zipper color. I have an iPhone 5s and it fits perfectly with room to spare, but the belt can also fit the iPhone 6+, Samsung Galaxy or any larger smartphones. I also love that it is very adjustable – 24″ – 38″. This makes the belt comfortable for winter running (when you have more layers) and summer running (when you only have one layer).
- Very little bounce. For the most part, the belt stayed in place during my outside runs.
- Waterproof. Even though I sweat a lot, neither my phone nor iPod were every wet. I have also washed this belt a few times as it has held up perfectly – not shrinkage or fabric damage.
- Large pockets. The pockets are just the right size and I love that I have two pockets to use.
- Not just for running. Sometimes I don’t feel like carrying a purse and the belt is great for a quick trip to the grocery store. The pockets are large enough for your driver’s license, keys, phone, shopping list, credit card and cash.
- Zippers. One zipper was perfect but the other one got stuck a few times. This may be troublesome in a race when you need to get to your phone or fuel quickly.
The giveaway will end on Thursday, March 3 at 11:59 P.M. EST. Valid for U.S. residents only. All entries will be verified and the winner will be contacted via email. The item will come directly from the company. Good Luck!

Looks great I have the flip belt but sometimes have issues getting my phone in and quick this may be a good alternative

I have a FlipBelt as well and I agree that sometime it is hard to get to my phone. This belt has easy to access zippers so its easier to get things in and out of the belt.

Love that this had dual pockets- definitely convenient so you can organize and separate everything!
kookyrunner says
I couldn’t agree more!

I tried this belt too and really liked it!
kookyrunner says
Me too! I’ve used it so many times since I got it last month!
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says
Hmmm… This would be super handy to store all your stuff. I currently carry everything in my CamelBack, but if I am heading out for a super short run probably don’t need something that big.
kookyrunner says
Totally agree! It’s great belt and it has very deep pockets.
