Which Premium Belt is the best? Salomon S/Lab vs Naked Running Band

I've tried about 5 or 6 different belts over the past few years and have narrowed down to my two favourites! This video is not sponsored at all and I purchased both at full price. I outline the pros and cons of each belt in detail
The names of the belts are:
Salomon S/Lab Belt
Naked Running Band

I haven't got belt yet, but I've been thinking of it for a while. Thanks for the review :)

[@jiefu1623]

Love your reviews on even minute details mate. Can you please compare them with equivalent UD belts?

Hi Sota. Love the video. Yesterday I purchased the Solamon Adv Skin belt so this came 24 hours too late for me! I’m attempting Bondi to Manly Solo in 4 weeks and am considering trying to carry 800ml in this belt rather than use my vest which I don’t enjoy using and all zips have ceased up. What do you think- is this a viable option? Thanks.

I've never tried the advance skin belt so I can't see much about that unfortunately! Obviously, there's a lot of factors that will determine whether it's better to wear a vest or not, but assuming you can carry the gels, I think it will be fine, but make sure to use the halfway aid station to top up on gels and hydration You should definitely watch some of my videos about race fuel nutrition and also my dedicated video for Bondi to Manly tips. I think you'll get a lot of valuable information from those videos

Hi Sota, do you prefer belts to running vests or small running backpacks. I see the latter two on trail running. I guess for a few items the belt may be less intrusive??

[@robertvesetas8751]

Sorry I see you mentioned this at the end of the video.

[@SotaMaehara]

No probs man! Yeah it still depends on a lot of factors, because I did an 80k race once with just the naked belt, but I’ve also done the same with a pack + belt It will always come down to individual preferences
