SubscribeFuel Belt is a company well known among runners and triathletes, but I never had a need for such a snazzy product. I see runners of all levels wearing the company’s products, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see what all of the fuss is about. I initially wanted this review to be as short as possible, but had to add a bit of additional depth to cover all of my bases.
Alameda Runners will today review the Fuel Belt H20 Helium 2-Bottle Belt, one of the company’s latest and greatest products. Based off of the company’s popular Helium 2-Bottle Belt, the H2O Collection Helium 2-Bottle Belt has a one-size-fits-all design, and is lighter than previous generations.
There is a common problem during long runs that forces runners to re-adjust the tightness of the belt, though this doesn’t seem to be a major problem with the products from Fuel Belt. The company uses an excellent material for the waistband, and the H20 Helium’s one-size-fits-all design makes it even easier for it to be shared among different runners.
A removable race pocket also is included, which is able to hold my car keys, some spare change, and a couple of energy gels. If you don’t feel like using it, simply slide it off the belt until next time. The ability to easily remove the gel pack also makes it a lot easier to clean after a long run – important if you want to easily clean your fuel belt, shoes, GPS, etc. before hitting the shower.
