SLS3 Dual Pocket Running Belt Review & GIVEAWAY!

WHAT IS JUST AS GOOD AS NEW JEWELLERY, A GREAT PAIR OF BOOTS, OR THAT HANDBAG YOU HAVE BEEN DROOLING OVER? RUNNING GEAR! I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON OUT THERE WHO GETS EXCITED FOR A NEW PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES, LEGGINGS, OR ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH RUNNING. WHICH IS WHY WHEN I WAS ASKED IF I WAS INTERESTED IN TRYING SLS3'S NEW DUAL POCKET RUNNING BELT THAT I HAPPILY SAID YES.

IN THE WINTER I WEAR GEAR THAT HAS POCKETS YET I PREFER NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING BOUNCING AROUND IN MY POCKETS. I PREFER WEARING MY PHONE, FUEL, AND OTHER BELONGINGS AT MY WAIST. ONCE SPRING AND SUMMER RUNNING ARRIVE IT BECOMES ESSENTIAL TO HAVE A PLACE TO HOLD MY BELONGINGS. ESPECIALLY IF I AM DOING A LONG DISTANCE RUN OR AM IN A RACE WHERE I DO NOT HAVE ANYONE TO HOLD MY KEYS FOR ME. I CURRENTLY OWN TWO DIFFERENT RUNNING BELTS I SWITCH BETWEEN. THE SLS3'S RUNNING BELT IS NOW MY FAVORITE.

I LIKED THAT IT HAD TWO LARGE COMPARTMENTS TO HOLD MY "THINGS". I SOMETIMES WORRY WHEN I HAVE MY FUEL AND MY PHONE IN THE SAME COMPARTMENT THAT WHEN I AM RUNNING AND ATTEMPT TO GET MY FUEL FROM THE POCKET THAT MY PHONE WILL FALL OUT. WITH THIS BELT I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT SINCE MY PHONE GETS IT'S OWN HOME ALL TO ITSELF.  

THE SIZE OF THE POCKETS ALSO PLEASED ME. I WAS ABLE TO BRING ALONG MY PHONE, FUEL, AND MACE. CARRYING MACE IS IMPORTANT FOR ANY RUNNER. SAFETY FOR OURSELVES IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AND SHOULD COME FIRST. I WANT TO BE SURE ON MY RUNS THAT I AM SAFE WHETHER IT IS EARLY MORNING OR IN THE DARK EVENINGS. MY MACE IS NOT JUST TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM PEOPLE BUT ALSO ANIMALS. I HAVE BEEN CHASE BY WILD TURKEYS AND DOGS. (THE TURKEY'S SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!) ON THOSE OCCASSIONS I DID NOT HAVE MY MACE AND HAVE SINCE DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO KNOW THAT I CAN PROTECT MYSELF FROM ANIMALS ALSO. I HOPE TO NEVER HAVE TO USE IT, ESPECIALLY ON A DOG (I LOVE DOGS!) YET WHEN I HAVE BEEN GONE AFTER TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH, I THINK IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA "JUST IN CASE".

ONE OF MY FAVORITE FEATURES IS THAT THE POCKETS ON THIS BELT ARE WATERPROOF. SINCE I DO NOT OWN A TREADMILL (SOMEDAY MAYBE) AND ALL MY RUNS ARE DONE OUTSIDE, THIS MEANS I RUN IN THE WIND, RAIN, SLEET, HAIL AND SNOW. LAST WEEK I HAD A RUN WHICH INVOLVED EACH ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS. THERE ARE TIMES I COME BACK PRETTY WET, SOAKED RIGHT THROUGH MY CLOTHES. BOTH POCKETS ON THE SLS3 BELT ARE WATERPROOF! HAVING WATERPROOF POCKETS IS IMPORTANT FOR MANY OF US.

THE BELT ON THIS IS THICK AND STURDY. I LIKE HOW IT FITS AND I COULD GET IT NICE AND SNUG. I LIKE TO WEAR MY BELTS WHERE THE POCKETS ARE IN THE BACK. I CLIP IT ON AND TURN IT AROUND. IT JUST FEELS BETTER FOR ME THAT WAY INSTEAD OF HAVING EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF ME. IT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO TURN THIS BELT AROUND WHEN I NEED TO GET INTO IT ON A RUN.

HOW DID IT FEEL ON MY RUNS? I TRIED IT OUT TWO DAYS IN A ROW ON MY LONGER RUNS. I WORE IT OVER MY BASE LAYER SHIRT AND UNDER A FLEECE JACKET. IT WAS NICE AND SNUG, NEVER SLIPPING UP OR DOWN. I HARDLY NOTICED I WAS EVEN WEARING A RUN BELT. THE ZIPPERS WORKED WELL AND IT WAS EASY TO GET INTO THE POCKETS.

OVERALL REVIEW: I REALLY DIG THIS BELT AND IT HAS BECOME MY NEW FAVORITE RUNNING BELT! THIS BELT HAS ALL THE FEATURES I NEED AS A RUNNER: WATERPROOF, LARGE POCKETS, GOOD FIT AND TWO POCKETS. THIS WILL DEFINITELY COME IN RATHER HANDY ONCE TRAINING SEASON IS IN FULL GEAR FOR ME THIS SPRING.
