Product Information

If you use your phone semi-regularly during your runs—whether to change the music, respond to messages, or take photos of your favorite scenic running route—wristbands often provide easier access than armbands. The downside is that they can feel fairly lopsided, and it might take some getting used to. They also tend to slip and bounce on narrow wrists. Waistbands Armband phone holders are generally the most lightweight options of the bunch, and can hold your phone and sometimes essentials like credit cards, keys, and possibly an energy gel.

They can get in the way – as running belts are larger and you'll likely be carrying more items in them, they can prove more cumbersome, especially if you're sprinting or running on inclines. lululemon’s Fast and Free Run Belt is a sleek and lightweight belt that can keep your smartphone safe and secure during your run.Fluffy Velcro doesn't mean weaker Velcro – after detaching and reattaching the straps 100 times some became fluffy, but this didn't always mean they were becoming weaker. Some armbands were just as strong despite the fluffiness, making it more of a cosmetic issue rather than a serious practical one. The Freetrain V1 Vest elevated my running experience. It felt comfortable to wear and makes you feel like an athlete.

It’s the traditional format used by joggers but there are some alternatives that could provide an even more convenient option for hardcore runners. If you’re like me, you may use your phone so you can listen to some adrenalin-inducing tunes or an inspiring audiobook or podcast. If you’re looking for a phone holder for your daily or weekly jog in the park, you may have considered a running belt as an option for you.We sprayed each armband 15 times with a spray bottle to simulate the sort of water exposure you might face when out in the rain and were pleased to find that almost all of them protected the phone from getting wet.
