While I’ve reviewed other excellent runner’s belts on Armchair Arcade<\/strong>, the Aegend Running Waist Pack<\/a> is the first one I’ve received that’s been designed to specifically accommodate larger smartphones like my Apple iPhone 6 Plus. While most of those other runner’s belts could fit an oversized smartphone, it was definitely more of a struggle than it should have been. With the Aegend Running Waist Pack<\/a>, while still not necessarily trivial, with its 6.2 in (15.7 cm) zipper opening, it’s certainly easier than the others I’ve tried to slide an oversized phone – even one in a decent-sized case like mine has – into its main pocket.<\/p>\n

Besides the large main pocket, there’s also a front pocket for smaller items like keys, cash, or credit cards (or any combination thereof). There’s a clever headphone cable slot off the main pocket if for some reason you have yet to upgrade to Bluetooth headphones.<\/p>\n

The strap itself is adjustable for waist sizes from 29 in (74 cm) – 41.7 in (106 cm), and features grey reflective stripes for enhanced safety when used at night. A moisture absorbing rear mesh panel lets you wear it all day, no matter the activity.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most impressive is the low price, presently just $10.99 on Amazon<\/a>. It’s well worth it if you need a convenient, hands-free carrier for your phone or other mobile device, regardless of activity.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Aegend for the review unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
