UL 1L

This running belt was great for running Kodiak 100k. It complimented my running vest well. The pole carry and extra pockets worked great.

Perfect for the daily scramble. Locks down the phone, shirt or light jacket (and hat when winds pick up on the flatirons). Love it. Forget it’s there.

Honestly the belt itself is very well done. It’s supportive. It holds what I need. It’s comfy. I carry a flask of carbs then a couple gels and an inline hydraflask filter for refilling. It keeps me going for a while without a vest. Pretty awesome.

The one catch is make sure you get the right size, and if you’re in between sizes, size down. I was right on the line of a medium and a small and with many of the other comments mentioning about how tight it was I went for the larger option. Definitely not the right move. Unless I have the belt pretty full it will flop a little bit and that’s my own fault of course.

Either way, awesome product. Can’t recommend enough.

It’s a nice belt. My only issue is that it came a bit dirty.

I’ve always like belts for their simplicity, but whenever you start loading them up the bounce cancels out the benefit. That’s where Raide comes in. It takes a little messing around to get it dialed, but once it’s in the right place there is absolutely no bounce. Five hundred ml of water, nothing. Smartphone. Zip. Pack it full of gels , some keys, - I routinely stuff a windbreaker in there - and the stability is downright impressive. The fact that you can even tighten the belt is incredible depending on what layers you are wearing underneath. I like vests and they can come in handy, but I certainly enjoy the simplicity and freedom of a belt and Raide’s stability is unmatched. The locking water bottle is really nice too, but I guarantee I’ll slap a water filter in there this spring for longer runs near water.. Simply put, there are no other belts on the market that I have found to this stable.

I’ve been using Belt ever since it was released, and I honestly don’t want to run without it anymore. The belt offers plenty of smart storage options. I usually carry 4 gels and my phone with ease. Even when I add a soft flask or poles on the back, it stays completely stable with zero bounce, which is rare for a trail belt.

I’ve been so satisfied with it that I’ve recommended it to all my friends.

Light, streamlined, holds water and other contents in place. Like it very much.

I was worried about the fit and the durability but this is by far the greatest belt my only regret is not getting the other model. It has held up to the description and what the company stands for.

Overall, I am happy with the product. The fit is great, and I appreciate the lack of bounce carrying a 500 ML flask in the rear. I find it a little tricky to get the flask in and out, but I chalk that up mostly to me being new to using a running belt and of course I know the 1L belt will have less overall space than the 2L.

Comfortable and efficient - can't wait to use it in an ultra!

This is a stellar belt, no-bounce just like the 2L version. My only slight gripe is the size of the 500ml water holder. It fits perfect once the water is not full, but man, it's kind of a pain to get in and out when it's 3/4 full to full. Still, minor inconvenience.

Overall I am enjoying the convenience and small form factor of the UL 1L Running Belt. Wish I held out just a bit as I prefer the newer colorway to the black one I ordered. This did feel almost too small even though I bought the recomended size (sm) for my waist size. Curious how a size up and cinched belt would feel. However, after a few sessions with the belt, accessing the pockets and getting in and out has become easier. holds more than enough for me all the way up to 13 miles if I am running with my small hand-held flask as well. Curious to pair with the running shorts and be truly hands free.

If you’re a weight conscious runner who doesn’t like to pack the closet this belt is for you. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. I am a 31 ish waist and I wear the medium and fits great.

I sometimes think I am OVER using this belt. It’s so perfect. I don’t use it for trail use, just 1-2.5 hour runs. It’s so perfect.

Overall I am happy with the product and continue to use it. Some pros/cons for me about this products.

the belt does not bounce. fits comfortably. the front and back pockets can each hold the 500mL soft flasks allowing for support for mid-distance runs

-
the step-in type of belts are a bit tricky for me to put on/take off (but avoid rubbing from buckles); not possible for me to manage taking the soft flasks in/out while running so I have to stop the front pocket is a u-shaped design so harder to access while moving; the pockets do bounce a little when the bottles are full--this is tolerable and not that distracting but dont think that there isnt any movement from the belt. Again to emphasize the pocket bounces a little not the belt so it is not rubbing against my body.

Biggest reason for 3 instead of 4 stars is that I cannot access the hydration without stopping. not 5 stars because it isnt super easy to get on/off -- same with all step-ins for me. Great manufacturing.

I've enjoyed all the miles I have worn this belt. The only thing I could think of having different would be a waterproof pocket for my phone.

I will start by saying there are a lot of running belts that claim “no bouncing”, I’m here to tell you they don’t exist. Not a single belt I’ve tried and believe me I’ve tried a lot, has earned the designation of “no bounce”. The UL1 is no different. I will say it is among the best that I’ve used but it isn’t without its faults. The stiffeners aren’t substantial enough to keep the belt from bunching up, the “tighteners” when tightened cause their attachment point to bunch and cause rubbing/ a friction point, too loose and the belt bounces. The front of the belt is excellent as far as storage goes, the interior storage works very well also. The exterior side pockets are too small for pretty much anything I would need for a run. The rear zipper picket is fine for emergency cash but that’s about it. The rear main pocket holds the 600ml soft flask and Ive managed to squeeze in 2-500ml soft flasks but it was way too overloaded to rely on that regularly.
In my opinion this is a 1hr run belt at best in hot summer weather with the 600ml flask and a 500ml handheld, winter and cooler weather you could probably get a 2hr run with that 1.1L set up.
Customer service was a nightmare as I originally ordered the UL 2L which was delayed shipping a week, then re-shipped by customer service, then no tracking information, then 3 days later cancelled by customer service because they were out of stock.
Between the customer service/ order mess and miscommunication and the UL1L not really being much of an improvement over other options, I probably will avoid Raide going forward.

Never irritated by bouncing or things feeling wonky. I used to hate to bring a phone. But for safety purposes it’s important to have such things. Thank you for never quitting on designing this!

I love this belt. Never tried the 2l though .I’ve tried different types of belts with and without detachable waters and always found some noticeable bounce. I’ve used different style vest water up front and water in the back and found it’ll always get hot or lots of bounce to it. So I looked into belts like this. Immediately could tell on the first run there was no bounce and didn’t even have to tighten the belt down (small 1l) the belt just vanished felt like it wasn’t there . It’s really comfortable and adds ease off access to things without the need of a zipper it holds things really securely.

Amazing product! They definitely delivered what they promised.

Delivers on the no bounce promise while carrying gels, phone, water, and keys. Not cheap but worth the price for the fit. Perfect for runs under 15 miles or so.
