I wore the Zipster Lite both over and under my shirt. The FlipBelt is made of lycra but has moisture-wicking properties. Compared to the FlipBelt material, it’s defiantly lighter on and cooler. This means runners can expect no chafing while wearing the Zipster Lite. The material also features mesh paneling, making it breathable. To prevent this, wear it lower on the waist. But this runner has experienced some sliding up the waist during long runs. The FlipBelt is also reliable for not moving when on. It also doesn’t slide up or around the waist. This belt doesn’t feel too tight, yet stays in place with no bunching or bulging of fabric. The FlipBelt comes in more sizes, including an XXS and XXL. So measure correctly when it comes to sizing. This running belt-like the FlipBelt is not adjustable. Some consumers find it hard to get the right fit. Just make sure to consult the sizing guide to get the right size. As a result, it conforms to fit around the waist like a perfect fit. The Zipster Lite also feels less heavy than the original Nathan Zipster Belt, which weighs just over an ounce. The FlipBelt always felt light on, but it suddenly feels much heavier even in hand compared to the Zipster Lite. When putting the Zipster Lite against the FlipBelt, there is a clear winner when it comes to its weight.

This is something the FlipBelt doesn’t do, which was a major reason why so many people purchase the product. The problem with many is that they “bounce” during the run, sliding up from the hips. Worn around the waist, there is typically a slot for money, keys, a phone and sports nutrition. It allows the runner to be hands-free while storing goods. These are designed essentially to be pockets for the runner. Photo: Lauren Keatingīefore even discussing the product, it’s important to know the importance of running belts in general. These two things combined made it my gear go-to when getting in some quick miles. While being lightweight is its main selling feature, the amount of storage space is another attractive feature. Just like its name suggests, this is one ultra-light running belt that goes unnoticed throughout the run. That is until I started running with the Nathan Zipster Lite.
