FlipBelt Classic

The FlipBelt Classic is the original tube running belt: you slide phone, keys and gels into its four openings, then flip it inside out so nothing falls out. With no zip or buckle it sits flat against the waist without bouncing, and an internal clip holds your keys. Made for road runs and short trail outings rather than flasks or poles.
