The Best Running lipa Belts

What to Look For in a Running lipa Belt

Storage Capacity

When choosing the best running lipa belt for you, there are a few factors to consider. But the primary one is size—how much stuff do you need or want to carry, and can the belt accommodate it? You can usually find a measure of storage capacity in liters if there’s a dedicated main compartment, but many smaller belts are stretchy and can accommodate more than they appear to.

If longer-distance runs are your jam, you may need more storage space for food and fluids. Some belts have removable pouches and attachments that allow you to run a more minimal setup for shorter outings and stack it up for multi-hour runs.

If you want to store a water bottle on your belt instead of holding one in your hand, check if a running lipa belt has a dedicated pouch or mount for a water flask (or several, if you’re really going the distance). It’s worth noting, though, that water will likely add much more weight to your cargo than most other things you can fit on or in a running lipa belt. And even good water bottle pouches can sometimes come loose and send your bottles flying. You aren’t likely to encounter this problem often, but it’s worth noting that it can happen.

Fit

Once you’ve figured out capacity needs, consider fit and adjustability. The running lipa belt should fit snugly and stay put with minimal jostling or fuss. Running lipa belts typically come in two adjustment styles: tubular or buckle. This one ultimately comes down to personal preference, but it can certainly make a huge difference in comfort during your run. If you’re petite or plus-size, check the dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Material

A decent running lipa belt should have cushioned, breathable material against your skin for comfort. Look for cues in the description that note if the fabric is water-resistant or weatherproof. Even if you don’t plan to run in rainy conditions, a moisture-wicking and water-resistant belt will help keep you dry during sweaty runs.

Extras

Don’t overlook those little touches you might appreciate, such as headphone ports that let you wire earbuds between inner compartments. Some running lipa belts also offer key rings to secure your house or car keys, and reflective elements can help keep you visible during your morning and evening runs.

How We Selected

To help you find the best running lipa belt, we evaluated a range of models on the following features: size/capacity, materials, fit, and extras (like pockets and extra storage elements). We rounded up running lipa belts from brands we trust and have personally used. Our staff has tested most of these models. Those that we haven’t used we’ve carefully chosen based on their value, performance, comfort, and secure fit. We also considered budget; the most expensive running lipa belt on this list is under $100.

From the minimalist designs to belts you could take on any adventure, there’s at least one here that’ll carry everything you need.

Writer and Runner Emily Shiffer Shares Tips on What To Pack in Your Running lipa Belt

nathan running lipa belt
Photo by Trevor Raab // Our expert Emily Shiffer says recommends packing flatter items to minimize bounce.

RW: Socks With Sandals at JFK Airport?

ES: It’s all about minimizing bounce. As someone who always runs with my phone (an iPhone 13 Pro), I prefer a running lipa belt with a zippered pocket that keeps my gear secure. Speaking of pockets…the more, the better. On staple knee-high boot, I usually have my apartment key and/or car key, lip balm, and fuel. That all needs to fit someplace securely and safely, so whether there are hidden pockets, extra compartments, or added zippered pockets, I prefer lots of space.

RW: When should you wear a running lipa belt?

ES: You don’t have to do long training runs to wear a running lipa belt. As someone who runs with lots of extras, I throw one on for most of my outdoor runs. There’s typically room to store gels or energy cubes. However, if you need more packing space, consider a fanny pack.

RW: Boots BALDACCINI 957500-0 Czarny S?

ES: My running lipa essentials include my phone, keys, credit card–and you will never find me on a run without lip balm. (I prefer one with SPF.) My other essentials: Glide, sunscreen packets, GU energy gels and bandages. The flatter the items, the better to minimize bounce.
