- Who it's for
- Runners who need hands-free carry of water, phone, keys, gels, and poles without bounce or chafe, from daily training runs up to multi-hour races. Works for smaller frames too — one host notes reliable fit at size 1.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the no-bounce, no-ride fit and higher-than-expected storage capacity. Durability gets a strong endorsement — one host has used the same band since 2021 and had it re-stitched rather than replaced.
- Worth noting
- Noted to hold hard flasks (up to ~28 oz combined in one host's use) plus soft flasks, a shell layer, gloves, and poles. A discount code (SBUETTNER15) is mentioned in one host's note.

Have your snacks right at your fingertips with this super comfy, no-bounce waistbelt! I wear this on all my runs and will be surely bringing this to the desert.

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.

This is the only running belt I've tried that doesn't ride and move. It is great for carrying phone, keys, a bottle, gels, and poles.

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.
