Great, just running down your list here are my thoughts:

An SMD Lunar Solo would be 10oz lighter and $70 cheaper while still offering similar features and roominess. Granted you'd need a trekking pole. Mine weigh 5oz each and cost $60 for the pair, and they're nice to have for stream crossings and up and downhills.

The $40 Soto Amicus stove outperforms the $34 Pocket Rocket 2 in every metric and is pretty similar to the $70 PR Deluxe.

I'm not a fan of sporks, and much prefer a spoon, your milage may vary. This 75 cent spoon is similar to what I have and it's lasted me 25 years. Mine weighs .38oz

You don't need a canister stand

When I've camped in the Mojave I just slept with my food in an Opsack. In Yosemite you'll need a bear can but you can probably rent one or wait to purchase for when the time comes. If you're camping in an area where a bear hang is recommended then you can get a pre-made bear bag kit or just make one with a stuff sack and some good throwing line.

I have some merino shirts but only wear them in the colder shoulder seasons because they're too warm for me when hiking in summer. They're also really pricey. You could get a $10 quick drying t-shirt like this, or a synthetic long sleeve collared shirt from the thrift store or a Silver Ridge, to protect your arms and neck from the sun and bugs.

How modest do you want to be with shorts? Ranger panties are popular for being so light and have a great range of motion. Generic soccer shorts work well. Patagonia Baggies are popular.

For a rain jacket it's hard to beat the Frog Toggs UL2 for price and weight. I went to my local walmart and tried them on to find a good size. ~$18

For long pants I'd suggest Body Wrapper dance pants. Light, cheap, breathable, comfortable, windproof, keep the bugs away, surprisingly warm when sitting around camp.

I don't bring sleep clothes, just sleep in my hiking clothes.

Med kit suggestions- leukotape strips on a quick release sheet for blister prevention and bandages, a few sterile gauze pads to make bandages with the leukotape, ibuprofen for pain and swelling, anti-diarrheal pills, small dropper of dr bronners soap for cleaning wounds

Things you're missing:

  • Pack liner (garbage compactor bag or nylofume)

  • Tent stakes (I like mini groundhogs)

  • Dirty girl gaiters for keeping rocks out of your shoes

  • Sunglasses

  • Stocking cap/beanie (maybe your buff will work for that?)

  • Lighter, swiss army classic knife with scissors and toothpick, toothbrush and toothpaste, anti-chafe cream like trail toes or diaper cream, sunscreen, purell, lightload towel

  • poop kit with trowel, tp, zip locks for used tp, or go the bidet route and use water instead of tp

  • a couple smartwater bottles

  • you may or may not like having an umbrella to stay cool or hike with your hood down in the rain.

    Edit: a tip for lighterpack- there is a field for price and it'll add up the prices per category for you, making a running tally a little easier. there's also a link field which could maybe help you keep track of links to things you might want to buy.

    Once you've dialed in the list a little better, if you discover you're way under your budget then you could always consider upgrading something, like spending $100 more for a 10oz zpacks Hexamid Solo tent. Also, if you end up at a light enough weight, you could jump to a 14oz frameless pack which would be awesome.

  1. Use an app like Libra (android) or Happy Scale (iOS). They average out your weight (see more about this in the Hacker's Diet) and give you a trend line, which helps you to not worry about random fluctuations. Libra doesn't attach photos, but it also doesn't connect to anything. I still highly recommend MFP for calorie tracking, but I don't really log my weight on it.

  2. Amazon music on my phone. If you get bluetooth headphones, they'll usually have buttons you can use to control your music. I don't know how big your phone actually is, but you could always get a flipbelt and put it in there. I have a flipbelt and it will fit a phone with a 5" screen easily.

  3. Do you need GPS functionality? If so, I don't have any recommendations. However, I have owned a fitbit charge HR for about nine months (which you can get for <$100 if you look on ebay, etc.) and I highly recommend it, although it's still a good idea to keep track of your rate of weight loss to compare how your fitbit calorie burn compares to your actual TDEE.

  4. I don't like most apps for tracking lifting workouts. I think they're a pain. I use this notebook off Amazon. Very easy to use.

    I can give you more advice on a routine if you tell me your goals. For a weight training beginner who's looking to get stronger, you can't get much simpler than Stronglifts 5x5. If you're interested in a little more hypertrophy work, something like Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 (basically Stronglifts + accessories) or any of the Strong Curves programs are also good.

    If you want a single trustworthy place to look for information about weight training and nutrition, I can't recommend strengtheory and anything written by Greg Nuckols highly enough. Very informative, clear, science-backed, no bullshit, and the Art and Science of Lifting ebooks, if you're willing to put down a little cash, are the best all-in-one resource for someone looking to "keep track of it all" that I know of.
u/emrose276 · 5 pointsr/reactivedogs

It’s such an awesome feeling to bring your dog along for you favorite things! It sounds like you had a really good experience.

I run with my dog who is mildly reactive and she does better running. My dog was definitely a puller when I adopted her and I tried several options, but finally settled on a skijoring harness. Running for her is “work time” which she loves, so she’s aloud to pull me and let that desire out (husky mix).

I use this for for running Buddy Pouch
It’s great because it’s small and doesn’t bounce, but holds plenty of treats and poop bags. As far as treating goes, we usually keep running past triggers and I’ll pause and do some simple obedience once we’re past her normal threshold distance. It works well and doesn’t interrupt the run much, but still lets me work with her. Other than that, running is already a great reward for a lot of dogs!

Keep up the good work :)

u/Jteph · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Garmin Vivosmart HR Activity Tracker which works good for any type of work outs.

If he's into running like myself - a running belt is awesome to have.

If he likes to do his workouts at home, Resistance bands are great.

My dog really likes these type of toys because we get to "Test our strength" and have fun at the same time.

If he enjoys smoking cigars. A cigar gift set could be useful.

u/carbonmonoxide · 1 pointr/C25K

I used to carry it with the help of my FuelBelt Bottle. A bonus if you need help with hydration.

Once I felt comfortable running without water (about the time that intervals went away), I bought a FlipBelt. I was very skeptical of the belt since I have wide set hips, but much to my surprise, it stays in place and is super comfortable. Great for keys as well.

They also sell this kind of thing if you're interested. I've seen better versions, but that's the only one I can bring up right now.

u/thelemonademan · 2 pointsr/running

I know it might be slightly off topic but can anyone recommend me some shorts with a liner? I used to run with some jockey underwear and a pair of basketball type shorts, but there was a thread on here last week where a lot of guys recommended going commando / shorts-with-liner.

I had a pair of Soffe Ranger-Panty running shorts (link) I bought a while ago and so tried them out and actually really liked them. They're very comfortable, but they're just so short lol.

I was hoping maybe someone could recommend me a pair of running shorts that is the same style but has a bit longer length on it?

Thanks my dudes!

Btw here in AZ it's getting up into the triple digits now (Fahrenheit) so definitely good advice here. Drink lots of water :)

u/LadyRavenEye · 1 pointr/AskWomen

Many/most rollercoasters have bins to the side to put your valuables in, so any kind of pack that you find comfortable will work for that.

HOWEVER! Because capitalism, lots of parks now have rides where they "don't have space" for bins, so you MUST buy (or at least wait for) a mini-locker outside of the line. This is garbage. Here are my tips:

  • Bring a disposable water bottle, like an empty gatorade bottle. Then, on rides you can't bring loose articles, put that gatorade bottle somewhere in the bushes, to retrieve after the ride. Worst case scenario, it gets picked up and thrown away and you have to overpay to get another bottle, but I've been doing this for years and that's never happened to me.
  • Wear a pack you don't have to take off during the rides. Fanny packs are getting popular which is cool, but my new thing is this: ["Buddy Pouch."] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PUO6KCI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) It's for running so it's water resistant and designed to stay put while you move. Most rides I keep it in front where it's most comfy, but some of the ones I'm too scared to do that on? Just flip it over onto the butt area and it'll stay put. There was room for my phone, spare batteries, cards/cash, and it could have carried more, as long as it was all flat.
  • Alternately I just wear shorts with zippers.

    If you're going to a water park as well as the main park, my advice is to actually pay for a locker early in the day. You can keep a towel, change of shoes, and change of clothes in there, as well as larger items you might not have room for in your carrying around bag like sunscreen.

    There are 3 things you need to be able to stay on your feet as long as physically possible: hydration, sun burn protection, good footwear.

    If you are going to a park that has bins for every roller coaster for loose articles, then I honestly recommend you buy the expensive all-day-free-refills souvenir cup. If you get it early, you can more than get your money's worth out of it. Your water will always be cold, you'll get a caffeine boost when you need it, and they usually have things like powerade for when you're extra sweaty.

u/Zwilk94 · 1 pointr/AskMen

June of 2017 I had just bought a brand new truck and had a little time off of work so I decided to take a road trip around the country (USA) to see friends and family. I was on my way to Kansas from visiting my sister in Georgia and had to stop for gas around 1am. Well, me being a little naive and pretty tired I didn't realize where I was at, I had stopped at a gas station on the north side of St. Louis. I drive up to the pump and there's 3 other cars there and as I get out of my truck I can feel everyone in the gas station staring at me, I realized that I was the only white person there (which is what it is). I go into the gas station to put money on the pump and the gas station attendant (GSA) looks at me and says

GSA: You don't know where you're at do you? You should probably stay in your truck while you fill up.

Me: Okay? I appreciate it.

I go back out to start filling up and this drug dealer (DD) (side note, he was really friendly) comes speed walking up to me

DD: Boy, those shorts are way too short. You need to change. You gay or somethin'?

(When I go on long road trips I wear "ranger panties" a little shorter than these.)

Me: haha These are my traveling shorts. They've gotten me out of 3 tickets and they're super comfortable.

DD: Ahh shit, that makes sense.

At this point dude was pretty close to me, about the same distance you'd be while having a private conversation with a close friend in a crowded room. He leans in a little more and digs something out of his lip.

DD (whispering): You want some of this? It's good shit! (Has a dime bag of what I'm assuming was crack in his hand.)

Me: Naw, I'm good man. I appreciate it though.

DD: Alright, have a good night brother.

Me: You too man.

He walked into the gas station and I finished filling up and got out of there as quickly as I could. And that was the time I got offered crack in St. Louis at 1am. Definitely the weirdest encounter I've had with a stranger so far.

​

u/stopbuffering · 2 pointsr/dogs

Depends on the walk.

I have a little croasbody bag that I love. This isn't exactly the one I have but it's similar (mine actually has a thinner strap which I prefer).

I also have a super low profile cargo belt that's great.

I also mostly wear cargo Capris which tend to hold enough stuff and are comfortable.

Finally, doggy backpacks. Even the smaller packs can hold plenty: extra leash, poop bags, etc. I don't put more important things in the bags but it helps clear up the only need sometimes or probably won't need clutter.

u/Dr_Defiler · 1 pointr/electricdaisycarnival

Went with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M17PHO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_YH9BR6TMFkswv

No fuss really. I have an s10 and even though it felt a little big it worked out great every day. You'll really only be able to fit your wallet and phone but honestly those are the 2 you really don't want to lose so I'd say it's worth it! Hope this helps find some other headliners find peace of mind at festivals.

u/danimal317 · 1 pointr/EDC

I just got one of these to try out for this purpose. Literally just got it today but it seems like it should work out nicely. A divider separates the "water proof" pocket in the back from the open mesh pocket in the front. Both pockets are the same size but the rear pocket has a piece of velcro in the top center that extends down in to the pocket about an inch causing it to be a little more shallow. The flap also has a piece of velcro that attaches to the lower front. The magnets seem to be strong and hold pretty well.

u/a-german-muffin · 13 pointsr/running

I needed to pick up a couple extra pair of running shorts, so I went the budget route and snagged two pairs of Soffe shorts for less than $20.

Pros:

  • They're crazy inexpensive (like half the price of the least-expensive sale shorts elsewhere).
  • They're legit spring/summer/fall running shorts (assuming you're OK with the low end of the inseam scale).
  • They're surprisingly comfortable—I probably wouldn't race in 'em, but I've gone on plenty of 8–9-milers and felt just fine.
  • They're standard issue for the US military, so it's probably safe to assume they're bulletproof (probably).

    Cons:

  • No drawstring! Don't screw up and buy too big a size, I guess.
  • No side split! OK, fine, this is more of a want than a need.
  • Despite being military standard, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to stash a 1911 in them, unless that key pocket expands way more than I expect it to.

    In all seriousness, if you need some extra warm-weather shorts, you're not gonna go wrong with these things, and your wallet will thank you (now put down your talking wallet and go run).

    (Side note: if you want to read some hilarious Puritan commentary, just Google "Ranger panties" to get endless blog posts about Soffes and how very, very uncomfortable they make people.)
u/Ohliviationn · 14 pointsr/xxfitness

I use the FlipBelt, you can get it on Amazon. It is absolutely a lifesaver. It's just a belt made of like workout clothing material? It's got lots of pockets and my iPhone 6S Plus fits perfectly, as well as my keys and whatever else I need. Great for when I'm wearing leggings that don't have pockets.

Edit: here's the link

u/sonofmad · 2 pointsr/running

You run in jeans?! Damn, I don't get that, but to your question, both the FlipBelt and Spibelt are very popular. I've had the SPIbelt for... 3 months now, and it's held up pretty well. The elastic band has stretched just a bit, but it controls bouncing very well and will fit more than just your phone if you want to bring gels or cards/cash with you.

u/ffifficult · 1 pointr/LGG3

I wasn't sure about this, but I decided I like it and works well. Ditch the case (ruins all the work they spent making the large phone feel smaller/easy to use)

Nathan's Gel Waist Belth - fits my phone and keys. Use MapMyRun and Google Play (music downloaded to SD) when running.

Can't tell its there - very comfortable.

Not visible under my shirt (don't be wearing a fanny pack yo)

Good build quality

u/Denadaguapa · 1 pointr/Lollapalooza

I’ve heard of people getting into fanny packs pretty easily. Flip belts are super awesome for festivals. They keep your things tight against you and there’s no way you wouldn’t notice someone reaching up your shirt or under your pants lol. they have them on amazon , and they also have different brands for a little cheaper

u/chocoholicsoxfan · 12 pointsr/C25K

Sooo I guess I should make a summary post to accompany this very sweaty selfie!

This is my 4th attempt at C25K. Usually I make it to somewhere along week 4 before life gets in the way or whatever. This time though, I signed up for a race (this Sunday!) when I was on week 3, and I think having that deadline helped me to keep going.

I ran the first 6 weeks on the treadmill before bringing it outside. I found outside running to be MUCH easier than treadmill running.

In addition to C25K, I'm a dance fitness instructor, so I did have some basic cardio endurance before starting, but it is a completely different type of workout. I also swam when I was in high school and we had to "run" 2.4 miles a few times a week, but most of us walked a decent amount and told our coach that "swimmers don't run."

I picked up a LOT of gear over the past few weeks. None of it was essential, but all was helpful. A Running Buddy pouch to hold keys/bus pass/phone, some wireless earbuds, a few nice bras, decent socks (prevented blisters- were important actually), and a few clearance things from Nike, UA, and Old Navy. But in my defense, the bras I had were 5+ years old and basically garbage, and I've been losing weight, so I needed to downsize my active wear anyway.

The last few weeks, I haven't really been following the trainer. I just run til I don't feel like running anymore, and so I did hit 3.1 a few times before today. But I've never had faster than a 10:20 pace, so being under 30 minutes today was exciting!

Next up: /r/b210k

u/KisstheCat · 1 pointr/running

Not sure if this will help with your iphone issue but try getting your phone to be close to your body for warmth. Something like spibelt underneath your layers would work great. Or a form fitting layer with pocket will keep your phone close to your body and keep it from bouncing.

For your latter question, how about compression shorts and wear your regular shorts on top? Keeps your legs from roasting and two layers to keep warm.

u/Rain_Walker · 1 pointr/Septemberbumpers2017

My personal opinion is to always bring water with you. Even more so because we are pregnant. For two reasons: 1) you don't want to actually get thirsty. Staying hydrated consistently will help with your performance. 2) if you suddenly get overheated you can spray the water over your head, face and neck.

I'm not a fan of carrying anything either. Someone suggested a camel back which is a great suggestion or you can get something small that doesn't feel like interfering. I'll leave a link below to what I've used that didn't feel like a pain in the ass. What I also like is that it has a little pouch where you can put energy chews which can help if you get a blood sugar drop and get light headed.

Just like normal, listen to your body, warm up first and enjoy it! You'll have to let us know how you like the belt! I've never got to talk to anyone who has used one.

u/Gearedout · 2 pointsr/oneplus

I use a flipbelt, and its been great so far. The addition of some bluetooth headphones would be a great addition, but other than that I'm happy with my solution. I've tried several armbands and none have suited me as well as the belt. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JF9DWWU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421191480&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

u/sgissi · 1 pointr/running

Oh, I have been there! When I started running I kept the phone in my pocket when walking and at hand when running. Then I got a running belt, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019BQNTL0/ I love it but I also heard Flipbelt is highly regarded.

I used to run with Bluetooth running headphones to hear C25K/MapMyRun alerts plus music put I couldn’t really adapt well, I had to adjust all the time while running. Nowadays I use a Garmin watch (HR+ then replaced with a vivoactive 3) and put my phone in the belt. Hope that helps!

u/letcha · 11 pointsr/trailrunning

I absolutely love my FlipBelt for longer runs:

https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Original-Designed-Shipped-Warranty/dp/B012CW3122

I was never comfortable with a phone case on my arm, and generally just carried my phone in my hand, until I found this. It's just too convenient.

Super comfy, I forget it's there, and if I wanna snap a picture on the trail, my phone is still super accessible. I even wear it when I have my hydration pack on, because I don't need to fumble with zippers and stuff just to get my phone out.

u/linuxpng · 1 pointr/running

It's like a fanny pack, but is elastic and stays in place. I have a phablet phone so an arm band is out of the question.

u/Trancefam · 3 pointsr/EDCOrlando

I have a small runner's belt that I use.

Cheap and reliable.

All I ever take in is phone, a card, and cash. It sometimes takes some creative placement, but I don't like to go without some mints and hand sanitizer. There isn't a more disgusting feeling than using a port-o-potty and not having a way to clean your hands, lol.

u/Tullyswimmer · 6 pointsr/frugalmalefashion

I dunno how short you like 'em...

But these are the most comfortable things to ever caress my balls while working out. The reviews are also pretty great.

u/skragen · 1 pointr/running

Makes sense. I'm doing NYC too, but probably won't practice much until I do runs over 10 miles (I just started training for my first half).

I see you said you don't want a fanny pack and someone suggested a spibelt below. I wear a flipbelt and love it (and I would never wear a fanny pack). A flipbelt is just a stretchy flat tube of fabric that I can't even feel while I'm running and it doesn't bounce. Holds my phone (in ziploc bag to not get wet), stroopwafels (also in ziploc bag), keys, and whatever else and works great to tie my jacket around if I get hot.

u/jaypeg25 · 3 pointsr/running

Got the Garmin Forerunner 25 for $130 this past weekend and I'm loving it. GPS is crazy accurate and the battery so far is holding a great charge (it's still reading as full after only the initial charge on Saturday and several runs between then and now). Syncing with mapmyrun is instant once I get back to my place and it syncs with my phone.

My girlfriend got new shoes, ONs. Anyone have experience with them? She tried on about half a dozen this past weekend at our local running store and instantly liked the ONs. We've been doing a lot of trail running recently though and she's had issues with rocks getting caught on the bottom.

Oh, and what do people think of these running shorts? They're so damn cheap I want to buy like a dozen.

The only shorts you will ever need for PT or for lifting are silkies. Good enough for the Marine Corps, you bet your limp dick they are more than good enough for you. Read the reviews, then go buy a couple pairs of these nut huggers. You will feel naked in them, your quads will pop, you will slay pussy. Jokes aside, original silkies are only for those with extreme alpha masculine confidence and a hard-on for USMC they aren't afraid to hide. You may recognize that Arnold and Stallone exercised in these exact same style PT shorts. Need I say more? If you got quads to rock these go for it, if not get the newer era version which are slightly less revealing but equally amazing to workout in.

I run with my bulky phone. But I use/wear a Flipbelt, which I highly recommended. The phone slides into the belt (along with my keys) and when I’m running, I don’t even know it’s there.
Paired with Bluetooth headphones and it’s a perfect solution in my opinion. I use Runkeeper as an audio coach, played from my phone.
$20 from Amazon, much less than buying a new smart watch,

  1. Have 2 credit cards. Keep them in different locations.

  2. Anything valuable in your camel back? Don't put them on the very top or very bottom(cut through bottom with blade). Wrap them in a hoodie or rainjacket and try to put it in a secondary pocket in the camel or most i see has a elastic pouch that is up against your back.

  3. Buy one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Level-Terrain-FlipBelt-Waist-Medium/dp/B00JF9DWWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469721248&sr=8-1&keywords=flip+belt
    It goes snug around your waist and the pocket can only be accessed by flipping it insideout. And it has a clip to attach keys to. Had one for all of TomorrowWorld last year and it was awesome.

I have been getting some blisters on my KSO EVOs recently too. I think it’s the thing that goes across the top of the foot that digs in when it our feet flex.

I have been using Injinji Lightweight No-Show toesocks when my feet are blistered. They work very well. Personally, I wouldn’t use a toesock any thicker than that one for VFFs, so I’d recommend against using wool ones (especially if it’s warm out — I have a pair and they’re super warm).

I did 19 miles in the KSO EVOs on Sunday and my feet were bleeding pretty badly, lol.

Edit: these toesocks

I started running in April of this year, but here is the gear I have been running with so far:

u/LuxrayAeterna · 1 pointr/GooglePixel

I was looking for a good armband earlier this week and stumbled upon this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PUO6KCI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_TRUqzbSXC8ZEE.

I'm receiving it tomorrow, so I can't speak to it with experience, but I'm super encouraged by the reviews.

u/Satans_Paw · 1 pointr/cycling

I really enjoy my sport fanny pack! I use it to hold my phone, tire levers, house key, allen wrench, and spare tube. I hardly even know it's there. Plus, it has a nice reflector strip for extra visibility. It's the perfect alternative to using a cycling jersey with rear pockets. Also works for running too!

u/Jeade-en · 2 pointsr/running

I just bought one of these and took it for a spin this morning. It fits the hand pretty well, and sits low enough on the palm that your fingers are still free. 10 oz is about as small as handhelds come, but I have a larger one already and was looking for a smaller option. Anyway, I've only run with it once so far, but I'm happy.

u/Vlad_the_Homeowner · 10 pointsr/running

1) There's no way carrying a phone is a significant concern from a chronic injury perspective; tell them you're giving up running and taking up skateboarding, I was diagnosed with advanced arthritis in both wrists at 25 from skating, running is infinitely safer. But there's no use fighting it, parents have the upper hand on such matters, so you might as well start working on solutions.

2) Why do you carry your phone? Music, GPS, safety? For the first two (this is probably bad advice from a parent perspective) I'd probably refuse the fanny pack and try to leverage in a decent running watch instead of holding your phone. If it's a safety issue, I get that.

3) I started keeping my phone on long trail runs, as much as I hate taking anything with me. I use SPIbelt, it's surprisingly comfortable, and it's only as big as your phone. Honestly, it's a helluva lot more comfortable than carrying in your hand. The weight distribution is on your lower back, you can't really tell it's there. It also sits under your shirt, so you can't see it either. I've also heard positive reviews of FlipBelt.

4) I have an arm band that I found somewhere and keep it in my pack for when my iPod or GPS watch is dead and I use my phone instead. It works. I know a lot of people like them, but I'd still take the SPI-belt. But I'm 40, married with children, so I really don't give a damn about the fanny pack stigma anymore; I can see how you might feel different.

I don't like running with a leash in hand, so I started attaching a leash to my [Fitbelt] (http://www.amazon.com/Level-Terrain-FlipBelt-Waist-Medium/dp/B00JF9DWWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457729934&sr=8-1&keywords=fit+belt) with a carabiner. It works really well for us and I use the flip belt all the time, even when I'm not running with my dog :)

My dog is some sort of cattle dog mix and he's a GREAT running companion. I'm tired out way before he is.

u/jojotherider · 1 pointr/GalaxyNote8

My wife had one of these that she used for her iPhone7 plus. Borrowed it for a run with my Note 8 and really liked it. The phone was held securely and didn't move around. I made sure the phone was at my back and the band low on my waist. I used it without a case because it fit better. I may look at something the fits better with a case. I ended up taking it out of the band to switch tracks and I was tender with pulling it out because its a slippery phone. Would rather not have to think about that.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012CW3122/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_1_w

App wise, I like Strava, but that's because I used it with my bike already. Its not much of a training program that will give you a plan. Its more just a tracking program to show what you've done.

u/Meth0dd · 2 pointsr/running

Does it need to be an arm band?

I use this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QQTDA2?pc_redir=1406967393&robot_redir=1

Its lightweight, compact, expands large enough to fit my phone, wallet and keys easily. With just my iphone on normal runs it doesn't even bounce around. Doesn't even feel like its there. Very happy with it.

u/ificandoit · 6 pointsr/loseit

That would be ideal for running? No.

I mean a Flipbelt may work but I think it'll just move with your abdomen anyway.

Honestly, compression underwear/shorts worn at the waist and a good shirt is my best combination but I no longer wear the underwear/shorts. I have plenty of loose skin/flab and put in A LOT of miles.

u/airmoz · 0 pointsr/AppleWatch

I use a slim fanny pack/belt when running which holds my wallet, key and phone. I mostly use my phone to access my Amazon Music app but I’ve also used it to Google stuff or look up paths in the maps app. Also having a camera is nice if I want to take a pic of something interesting I might see along the way. So for me, the GPS watch is all I need.

This is the belt I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M17PHO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QEoYBbDMKFN5D

u/CanYouFeelItNow · 5 pointsr/MoonriseMusicFestival

I HIGHLY recommend a fanny pack! People steal from your pockets some but it is much harder to get into a fanny pack in front of you, especially if your shirt covers it. I wear a small Runnner's fanny pack which is super small and works as a belt! I can hold an iphone, a small pouch for money and ID, and a large phone charger in it and it's not uncomfortable at all. Don't show in outfit pics either!

I've recently been wanting to try one of these magnetic running pouches. The reviews and testimonials that I have read about them have all been pretty favorable. You can find more information about them on the company's website.

It also looks like there is a more generic version available too.

u/chelsealynk · 1 pointr/aves

I know that feel - I recently got one of these and it's the best thing I've found so far. It has a zip pocket and will actually hold a fair amount of stuff while still laying pretty flat! I've worn it to a bunch of shows and it stays in place and isn't nearly as bulky as a fanny pack or running belt.

u/RunnerDavid · 7 pointsr/running

I use the flip belt and have to admit that I love it. I just love that it doesn't look like a belt and that I can even tuck it under my shirt if I want. It fits my 6" phone but it is a tight fit. I don't often run with my phone, anyway.

u/masterswordsman2 · 11 pointsr/funny

No, it's one at best. Reduce is obviously out of the question since you are using a different cup for each drink during the marathon, which is very wasteful. Reuse is not possible since you can't properly wash a paper cup for someone else to use without destroying it. They can't be made of any material other than paper or thin plastic since stronger materials would be a safety risk if someone steps on it. If the cups were thin plastic (they are not in the photo) they could theoretically be reused if the user did not crush them and no one stepped on them. But you would then have to employ someone to wash all those cheap plastic cups. And you can't even recycle the cups unless they are made out of the right material. Many paper cups are coated in wax to keep the water from soaking through which makes them not recyclable. So what's the simple solution to all this? This or a similar product.

u/skydrip · 2 pointsr/running

I love these running shorts for Soffe. It's technically men's but I have about 7 pairs of these. Very light, built in liner and soft (but not wide) elastic that doesn't give me muffin top.

For indoor use, I wouldn't use cell phone or even GPS watch. You'd be better off using the watch.

u/osker246 · 1 pointr/MotoX

Yeah. I was initially hesitant on buying one, but I am glad I did. It doesn't flop around like most armbands and stays snug against your waist. However, I do have to remove my phone from the case if I want to be able to insert it easily.

Soffees or silkies as what we called them in the service. I don’t have mine handy but they’re around the 3.5-4oz weight. Great shorts for hiking in if you don’t mind showing some thigh.

I have had the quick shot for two years now. I really like it and generally don't even notice it on my hand (unless I freeze the bottle then I've got a cold hand for a few miles!).

- for your phone, incipio brand stowaway or stashback because these fit 3 cards+some cash which is more than any other brand I've seen (I don't like the bulky phone cover wallets)

u/milky_donut · 10 pointsr/femalefashionadvice

I have a pump...same one as you! I've had mine for about 2 years coming from an Omnipod and injections.

Anyway, when I wear form fitting outfits I usually place the pump on my bra. If you have the belt clip that came with it you can clip it on the part in between the cups. It stays in place and doesn't stick out too much in that spot, for me at least. Plus, it's easier to access from the neckhole if I'm wearing a dress...rather than pulling the whole dress up.

I do also have a Flip Belt that I sometimes use if I'm too lazy to clip it to my pants/skirt and that seems to tuck it away nicely too; great for working out as well. It holds my pump and my Dexcom without feeling too bulky on my body.

Another user suggested a built in camisole bra and tuck it in there but it hasn't worked for me (it may for you!). There's also the whole garter belt thing but I haven't used that either. And I've read also of other men/women cutting holes from the inside of their pockets to thread the tubing and pump through there so it's easily accessible. That may be an option I haven't tried but may work for you too.

I use this. The spi belt. Super minimal and gets the job done for my phone especially if you run with wireless headphones.

u/KenMixtape · 5 pointsr/electricdaisycarnival

Use a running belt like this one and never have to worry about phone theft again. Plus you can keep your wallet there too. I use mine every day now, no more stuff in my pockets at parties!

u/studyrunner · 2 pointsr/running

I know the belts are the most common, but I love this, though if you have an issue with the pants shimmying down, that could be a problem with the added weight. I use the drawstring on my leggings to prevent that.

u/Socalraver · 4 pointsr/electricdaisycarnival

I have one its called flipbelt its amazing

u/bluthbanana20 · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

For running shorts, no substitute for silkies! My military friends love them irrationally

edit: They call them silkies. We can buy them as Soffes

u/The--Strike · 1 pointr/BurningMan

Soffe shorts. Most comfortable daytime thing I wear.

How big is it? Would it fit in a flipbelt ?

or this?

u/Sjb1985 · 4 pointsr/running

I am using the Running Buddy XL Running Pouch, and I hate it. I loved my nike running arm band that has since been discontinued and I can't find anywhere online (not even to show you a pic). Anyone have some links of what they use and love? I don't want a running belt - I am too fat for most still at this stage in my weight loss.

u/HanselSoHotRightNow · 30 pointsr/lifehacks

If you were jogging it was probably bouncing around on your dogs back and that is uncomfortable even if the dog doesn't complain because it is not a human being. It will just endure most things you put it through as you are the master, that's why dogs who fight in rings still love their masters after the fight. Sorry, unnecessary addition, I apologize.



I would recommend getting an SPIBelt or Small personal item belt made for running.

Here you go!: http://www.amazon.com/SPIbelt-Small-Personal-Great-Runners/dp/B004QQTDA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371607219&sr=8-1&keywords=spibelt

u/vegetablesactivated · 1 pointr/xxfitness

How are you carrying them now? You may want to get something like a FlipBelt to hold stuff you think you may need plus it is something you could use in other situations (like traveling). Some of the high tech race specific ones probably aren't worth it if this is your first race. I have used a spibelt but it really is only big enough for my phone. If you have been carrying a few gels in your pockets and felt fine, then you don't need a belt.

u/Leao745 · 1 pointr/running

I'm not 100% sure if it's what he's saying... But I've thoroughly been enjoying running in Soffes. https://www.amazon.com/MJ-Soffe-Mens-Running-Short/dp/B003AU5W5K

Just ran in these for the first time, 4 miles.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AU5VZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Loved them. Went commando, also for the first time, and it was phenomenal. Highly recommended. We'll see if I have chafing problems on longer runs though...

u/Vanilla_Buddha · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

I own the DT Coolmax Vertex ultra-light socks with no cushion and they still make my toes sweat just sitting at my desk. There is not enough breathability in the toebox. I really love my Injini toe socks because it handles toe sweat and blistering.

u/RunTwoThreeClimb · 4 pointsr/running

In my experience they're all a bit "pinchy" if you want them tight. I end up with marks on the arm I wear it on! Alternatively try a small running belt like a SpiBelt or a FlipBelt . I personally use a SpiBelt as it's smaller and I can access the phone easily when I need to but see what works for you.

u/DontSplitIt · 1 pointr/running

I wear cotton t-shirts (the cheapo Hanes kind that come in plastic bags) and I'm comfortable pretty much year-round. If I know I'm going to be sweating a lot I'll use those little round band-aids for my nips, but for the most part it's not an issue.

Gray or white cotton Hanes shirt + these shorts in navy + sometimes a headband, is a preferred look.

Or they're trying to tan, or just be outside in comfy clothes? Have you never just stood out in your front lawn with short shorts and no shirt? It's hot out my dude. If you haven't stood outside wearing only short shorts then I suggest you buy some, and I'll do you one better and suggest my favorite short short. I just wear running shoes all the time so people think I'm on my way to jog, but I'm just being comfy!

Alternatively, you can get one of these arm band things for probably way cheaper. Or, you can be a weirdo like me and put your phone in your bra.

u/Waksman · 3 pointsr/running

I doubt a sock would help much much because I don't think the phone generates enough heat on it's own for any insulation to help. What works for me is to keep my phone close to my body, so body heat keeps it from getting too cold. I keep my phone in an spibelt under my shirt and haven't ever had my phone shut off while on me (but I have had it shutoff when leaving it in my car overnight, so I do know my phone susceptible to that.

u/alkaline79 · 1 pointr/running

Flip Belt is a good option.

u/Gerdalti · 5 pointsr/trailrunning

>In my case, these

You should totally try these. They've got a 2" inseam and are about half the price($11). I have two pairs and give them a big would recommend.

While a bit pricier($34), you can also get them in American Flag Print, Texas Flag Print or Camo Print.

u/chrchr · 1 pointr/running

I really like these military surplus running shorts that I bought on Prime Now when I was on a trip and forgot to bring shorts. They're not as good as the best running shorts I have, but they're a lot better than the worst and they're cheap and basic. They're kind of the ideal simple running short.

u/arudolph · 1 pointr/running

I highly recommend The SPI Belt. That and my Garmin are the only things I take with me.

u/justashade · 1 pointr/genderqueer

I am shopping for summer clothes now. get tighter v neck or scoop neck tops that expose your chest have a hint of femininity. although if your a muscular dude it becomes masculine because it shows off your massive muscles lol. and shorts is the same, get tighter and shorter shorts that expose more leg. there's also shorts that are split which makes it more feminine. hell you could just wear men's running shorts and most people will assume its women shorts

Soffee mens running shorts are quite popular, design looks androgynous enough

I am a guy but think I can help, my shorts do not have any pockets.

Flipbelt

Nathan Handheld Water Bottle

Phone/Storage Armband

Out of all of them I prefer the handheld water bottle. Can't fit my 7+ but that phone is ridiculously big. Flipbelt just looks weird on me and the arm band is annoying but if you already use one it might be a good fit.

u/sparhawk6 · 1 pointr/Nexus6P

I've used this.
http://www.amazon.com/Armband-Jarv-Sweatproof-Neoprene-Reflective/dp/B0090R20R0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

But it is a little short, so the 6P sticks out a bit on the top. I would not consider it water proof, but it does provide some protection from water.

I moved away from it though, because the Velcro was rubbing against my arm and rubbing it raw.

I now use this belt:

I really like the belt. The 6P fits snugly, and no more rubbing velcro.


u/chorkea · 1 pointr/running

One thing that helps me is wearing less slippery shirts. I never run in just a sports bra, though, so no advice there. I specifically use this belt. It does ride up if I wear something slippery, though.

u/frooder · 1 pointr/Fitness

Soffe shorts. Feels like you're wearing nothing at all.

Silkies.

Make sure you go with one size smaller than he wears so his fellow Marines can see shaft veins.

u/chio182 · 4 pointsr/running

Tried the handgrip bottle and it was annoying to run with on a 13 mile run. Now for runs of 10-14 miles I use belt (read: "fanny pack") it's not stylish, but it works and I can carry keys, a phone, and gel easily. I also have a camelbak, but the one I have jostles too much for runs, and it's more water than I need. This is the belt I use.

u/galacticat · 1 pointr/xxfitness

I suggest the flip belt! It's almost kinda like a fanny pack except it's flat and much more discreet. They come in different sizes and colors. I wore it a lot before I discovered workout pants that had pockets in them.

Fanny pack.

I have this one, it's extremely low profile, you can barely see it under my tank. SUPER stretchy, fits my phone easily. When I forget to bring it to the gym I basically lose my mind. It's a game changer.

I got [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Level-Terrain-FBA-P-FlipBelt-USA-Designed/dp/B012CW3122) one. I ordered a large. I've got a 30'' waist and 40" hips. I did read in the comments that sizing was inconsistent. The large sits comfortably just above my hips. Not tight but doesn't move around.

  1. Arm bands are great, but I personally don't like them. I like to use my arms to carry me through hard runs. I always felt restrained, uncomfortable, and uncertain if it'll hold. I recently got a belt and enjoy it much more.

  2. I really enjoy Runkeeper It has all the basics such as splits, pace, and miles. I bought the premium version ($39.99 USD a year) and it has all these training features too!

  3. I think the reviews are mixed here. I think it comes down to personal preference. All though running through sand or mud is more energy cost. I would say run on a mix of surfaces and see which one you like the most. Just be carful on trails, dirt, and grass. You can seriously hurt yourself if you're not careful.
