Product Review: Ironman Hydration Belt

written by runnergirl training

There are various options for hydration on the go. There are belts with bottles and bottles with a strap for the wrist. My personal choice is the Ironman hydration belt, pictured above. It contains 2, 10 ounce bottles & a zippered pouch with an outside mesh pocket. It has worked well in training & racing environments. The pouch is large enough for cell phone, keys, energy bar, etc.

I highly recommend this item!

It is sold at these retailers:

Walmart
