Back in December, I was looking for a new running belt to take with me to the Star Wars Half Marathon in Disneyland. My new iPhone6S wouldn't fit in my old one; therefore, it was time to give up my favorite belt and look for a 'new favorite!'
I started looking by simply doing a search on Amazon. I found that the OZ Fit Running belt would fit my iPhone, and it seemed like it would hold everything; so, I bought it! It turned out to be a great purchase, and I really enjoyed wearing it!
And here are 4 feature that were important to me:
Side 1
1. Key Holder
A very handy Key Hook! When you are training, you need a place to hold your key. I usually tie it onto my pants or shorts string, but this works out so much better! The key holder slips comfortably inside the belt for security.
2. Two Pockets
Side 1 has two pockets on either end. The pockets share connecting space, but allow you to store one thing on one side, and something else on the other. I used it to store goo and almond butter. I was able to hold 3 almond butter packets and 2 goos during the Half Marathon.
Side 2
3. Zippered Pouch
The pouch on Side 2 is zippered for added security. The larger smart phones and other extras you need can reside on this side. I have an iPhone6S and there was plenty of room for my phone, granola bars, identification and credit cards.
4. Stay Dry, Giving Fabric
The moisture wicking fabric is comfortable, resists sweat, and fits comfortably against your body.
I sweat a lot, even on a cool running day such as the Star Wars Half Marathon; everything inside the OzFit stayed nice and dry. The belt stayed in place, too, I had very little adjusting to do during my race. Even when it was packed full at the start of the race, it still laid relatively flat against my body.

The belt comes in 5 sizes XS, S, Med, L, XL, from a 27" to a 38", and is intended to be worn just below the belly button.
It fits comfortable on top of your pants at the waist band, or over your outer clothing. It easily moves around so that you can reach both sides, even while you are moving. It could easily be worn at Zumba or as a money/passport holder while traveling.
The belt is 4 inches wide and will stretch to 5 1/2 inches: so, very accommodating for the larger smart phones.
It held everything I needed for the race with room to spare! And I carry everything! If you are looking for a lightweight, versatile belt, this one will be perfect.
It's a bargain, too, at only $16.95!
Who is the Belt Not For?
Sorry Fashionistas! There is only a choice of black or pink.
If you need to carry hydration bottles, there isn't a way to attach them.
And I suggest to upsize if you want to wear it lower on the hips: it's flexible, but not too stretchy.

I really enjoyed wearing this belt during the Half Marathon Weekend, and I will continue to enjoy it as I train and travel this summer.
If you have any questions or have tried it yourself - please let me know!
