Review of FlipBelt Crops - Running Capris

Do You Like to Run Hands-Free?

I don't want to hold stuff or tie it to my wrist or arm when I run. Carrying a water bottle, phone and fuel makes me feel clunky. ​I want to run like Phoebe!
​
​But, if you run far from home like I do, you have to carry your stuff. That's why I was excited to try FlipBelt Crops. Keep reading to learn more.

What exactly are FlipBelt Crops?

​They're mid-rise athletic capris. They have a FlipBelt waistband that holds ALL your essentials.

I tested the crops on two runs so far. I'll wear them again on a trail run this weekend.

Something tells me I'll be wearing them for lots of activities. They're perfect for lots of things — yard work, yoga, walkabouts and the gym. 

Fit and Function

The front pockets have two access points. You can slip any size phone in there, and still grab it easily to take photos on your run.

Even with the phone in there, you'll have plenty of room to stash your keys, fuel, snacks, water and more. ​There's a key hook sewn in. Just secure your keys and push them into the pocket. 

FlipBelt Crops have a rear zipper pocket, too. It's easy to access, and works well for small items (jewelry, cash, money cards). The zip pocket is separate from the rest of your storage. By the way, the rear pocket is big enough to hold your phone.

FlipBelt Crops are real tech activewear. The built-in FlipBelt waistband blends form and function into a unique pair of running and workout pants. 

I took my FlipBelt Crops on a 7-miler the first day I had them. I didn't feel or think about my phone while I was running. The belt fit snug, but not tight. There was no bouncing or jostling. I didn't have to adjust anything while I ran. 

I placed my phone in the front pocket for my run. That made grabbing it and taking pictures super easy. The phone slid in and out of the pocket in seconds.
​
The anti-chafe flat seams and moisture-wicking material made these capris very comfortable in the Florida heat and humidity. The material is soft and opaque.

​Something I really, really, really liked is that the sizing was true-to-size. Bonus points for that!

Storage Capacity

I doubt I'll ever need more than a few gels during a race. BUT, if I do I'll store them all in my FlipBelt Crops! That's right. I tested the capacity.

I probably could have fit more, but you get the point, right? (Photo credit: This Old Runner)

Watch the Unpacking!

It's amazing to see what fit in there! (Video credit: This Old Runner)
