    Camille Herron, Ultrarunner and World record holder propelled by tacos and joy- let the magic come out!

    I've been a Naked Band user since 2021. I think this is one of the best innovations during my 31 yr running career. I've still had the same band for several yrs, so the material is very durable. I had it re-stitched while I was in Taipei. I use the band for up to 3 hrs and can hold ~18 oz hard flask + 10 oz hard flask. I haven't tried the new bands (haven't needed to!), but I would imagine they're great. The Naked vests are also excellent for added capacity.

    Meg Cooke, Mountain Athlete, Materials Scientist

    I've tried the others, and I always come back to my naked belt for comfort, low bounce, and really good capacity even in small human size (I wear a size 1). I've used this belt in a 6 hour race with just 3 aid stations.
