I’m on the hunt for the right gear for my morning runs and have been thinking about getting a hydration belt for those longer sessions. It sounds so convenient to have water readily available, especially with the warmer weather here in San Diego. But I’m really questioning if it’s worth the investment.
I’ve come across mixed reviews from fellow runners. Some love their hydration belts, noting they can carry not just water but also keys and snacks, while others find them bulky and uncomfortable. For those of you who use one, how comfortable do you find it? Did it enhance your running experience in any way?
And if you transitioned from a handheld bottle to a hydration belt, was it an easy switch? What features should I focus on to find the best fit for my needs?
