    I've been trying to design one like the Saloman pulse ( and there are others like that). It seems to be pull on but I like the idea of having a fastener. I wonder if the straps to the fastener could be a firm elastic. Your feedback on the water bottle holder is very interesting - I had assumed I would be optimizing pulling the bottle out on the run... but that would definitely be a different design. More to think about and prototype. Thanks!

    • @LearnMYOG

      I use this belt quite often - today in fact - but also want to make a lyrca belt like the one you mentioned. I'm most concerned about not having adjustability for fit and layering. Maybe there's an idea to have a mostly lycra belt but with a cord or webbing channel around the top and bottom perimeter to add a bit of adjustment. I don't mind taking the belt off to drink but its a bit unconventional. I have not found a sleeve design for soft flasks once they are half empty. To me its much less fiddly to simply leave it in the sleeve and stop for a short break. I've seen others just toss the soft flask in the lycra belt but it needs to be quite tight fitting to prevent bounce.
