But I haven't been running for longer than ~2 hrs, so relied on a hand held bottle for that. But down the road, if I ever train for a marathon, i know I gotta look into using something like this.AM!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08204838651690610530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-80030996788280582282010-08-16T09:20:16.123-06:002010-08-16T09:20:16.123-06:00Never have found a comfortable belt, but I may hav...Never have found a comfortable belt, but I may have to try this.

Then last week on my 14 miler, with an empty water bottle in hand and 95 degree heat, I was rethinking things. I'm assuming most of the woman sending comments wear tight shirts and the belt can easially fit under. Us guys, (at least me) don't usually wear tight fitting shirts. How do you think this would work? I assume I won't drape it over the bottles nor would I tuck my shirt under the belt. I just don't know if it would bunch and be annoying!Fogeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907440421662438872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-62707368727878260892010-08-16T06:22:31.193-06:002010-08-16T06:22:31.193-06:00I think belts and I just don't work out.

I find that the Fuelbelt is pretty rough around the Velcro and messes up some of my shirts. It looks like the Nathan belt is smoother.

And I like it on my waist:). I have the same issue with leaking but only with Nuun and not with the water. Try to open the bottles when you notice the leaking - mine burst out the air when I open them up, and then there is no more leaking.
