Question about a fuel belt

    Hi all,
    I have a Black Wolf fuel belt that I wear for runs between 10k and 20k (see attached pic). I have found that it moves up my waist when running and has given me a friction burn on my back a couple of times. I have the bottle at my back about waist height. Is there a proper/best way to wear these?

    Thanks,
    Eoin

    Very similar to my nathan belt. I wear mine under my t-shirt and have it as tight as possible without restricting my breathing.
    It sounds like you are wearing it a little loose hence the friction

    probably no help to you but I would be the opposite in that I wear it over my t-shirt but would have it tight enough to reduce movement, movement is worse when the bottle is full.

    I prefer this style of belt. You can carry just over 500ml of fluid, but it's more evenly spread across smaller bottles so you don't have the feeling of a large bottle sloshing around on your waste.

    I have the same problem with that PowerBar belt. And because it's Velcro, its harder to get it reasonably tight. I've had to abandon using the two bottle holders at the back, because it bounces up and down and keeps slipping down, i our out of the tee shirt. I spend most of a run adjusting it. Then I get into the shower and discover the grazing on the back. :eek:

    That's the problem I'm having, adjusting it every couple of hundred meters, pulling my t-shirt back down under it and trying to get it to stay put. Still ending up with a grazed patch near my kidney...

    Same thing's been happening to me with an Innov-8 belt which I've been using for long runs but strangely on only one side of my back. Last time I twisted it around a little bit & it seems a bit better. As well I figure that side of my back with HTFU over time :)
