Using a hydration belt is essential when you need to stay light while needing to take some of your essentials and a place to store your water or hydration liquid. One important aspect of a hydration belt is the ability to store water bottles on it with quick access to avoid stopping during your run. Take your keys, phone, wireless earphones case, or other similarly sized items to store in the pocket of the belt.
