I have not used the belt, not sure I will, because I am a short waisted person.  When I put the belt on with the race bib in the front, the location of the gel packs and the pouch fall directly on the sides where my arms swing when I run.  I could wear it low on my hips, maybe.  It seems very sturdy, durable, and I love the pouch.

I just started into triathlons and this belt was used for my first race. It was easy to clip on and stayed in place. It was comfortable did not even know it was on. The only thing is I wish it had is more gel spaces it only has 3. The pocket works good for jelly beans etc. I like this belt and would purchase it again.
