Review: Spibelt May Inspire Fanny Pack Comeback

I usually take along a few personal items when I go out jogging, so after testing out the Spibelt by Overton Fitness, I can't imagine a better place for my stash. This belt is especially useful for marathon runners or even travelers who want to keep important items or gadgets accessible.

The Spibelt is not like any other fanny pack, though. The belt holds a small, expandable pocket able to accommodate several items including an iPhone or an iPod, a set of keys, credit cards, and/or even a compact digital camera when traveling. The site says it won't bounce, ride, or shift when you run, and I can attest to that. I've taken it with me several times on runs, and if you don't overfill it with heavy stuff, you won't even notice it's there. It's so handy, I prefer to store my credit card and keys in it when heading to the supermarket or the coffee shop.

The belt is available in many colors, and it's great for both men and women. It's adjustable, so a couple could probably share the medium-large belt, which only costs about $20. I think the Spibelt is a must-have for anyone who prefers to travel light.  Who knows, maybe the Spibelt will inspire a fanny pack comeback. What do you think? Leave it or love it?
