The Access20 Hydration Belt comes with a semi-flexible angled bottle holder that holds a
20 ounce bottle, a 4 ounce gel flask, and two zippered pockets. It is light weight and has a buckle to easily
put the belt on and take it off.
The 20 ounce
bottle comes with Ultimate Direction’s “Kicker Valve” system. The valve can be easily closed to prevent
leakage. It also comes with a hard
plastic loop that makes it easy to grab the bottle out of the holder on your
belt. The bottle holder is angled and
has an elastic loop that you can put over the bottle to prevent it from accidentally
falling out mid run.
The gel
flask is a great idea, especially if you have thought of buying your gel in
bulk. Hammer is one of the better known
companies that sells bulk gel. The flask
goes in a holster that is easy to use. I
typically just use individual gel packs so I took the gel holster off, but this
would be an option for those people who buy their gel in bulk.
The two
zippered pockets are great. The back
pocket is large and angled. I typically
put my keys and gel packs in this pocket.
It is located right next to the bottle holder. There are elastic cables on the outside of
this pocket as well to put your jacket off if you get too warm. The other pocket can be moved around. I typically keep my Samsung Galaxy S5 (which
is a fairly big phone) in this second pocket.
Both pockets have fabric separators to keep your stuff organized.
Pros:
Very light weight material
Tons of storage
Great fit, doesn’t move around
Cons:
I wish it had bib loops to put your race bibs on.
My biggest concern was that I have used hydration belts from
other companies that didn’t stay in place very long. A few miles into my runs, the belts would
start to ride up. I didn’t have that
issue with the Access 20 Hydration Belt.
This is my go-to hydration option for all runs under 10 miles. Great job Ultimate Direction! You can pick up your own Access20 Hydration Belt for $61.95 at the Ultimate Direction
website or at Amazon for slightly less.
