Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed specifically to hold GU Energy Gel gel packs, the Nathan Gel Pak is comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. GU gel packs are easy-to-digest carbohydrate packs that give runners or other athletes long-lasting energy. The Nathan Gel Pak contributes to your workout by making it easy to carry several GU packs at once, so you don't need to carry them in your pockets or stuff them in a sock. The Gel Pack includes several storage pockets, including an expanding outer pocket, an internal valuables pocket with a key clip, and an external mesh trash pocket, which gives you a place to store the sticky, empty wrappers. The Gel Pack is also comfortable to wear, with a breathable mesh back panel and waist belt and a 1-inch, limited-stretch elastic belt with a featherweight buckle.

Product Description

Inspired by the products we developed for GU Energy Gel, the Gel Pak carries gel packets comfortably with easy access, while its unique Trash Pocket gives you someplace to store the sticky, empty wrappers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've ever had!, March 16, 2010

I've been a runner and exercise enthusiast for 18 years. I've had many fanny-packs. This is by far the best. It's perfect for my cash, keys, and iPhone, with it's large Otterbox Defender Case. I've yet to load it with anything else. It's light and flat. I wear this at the small of my back, but it quickly slides around to the side or front when I need to sit or lie in the gym. Otherwise, I forget it's even there. It has a sturdy key hook inside and a special little pocket perfect for cash, ID, or debit cards. Also a little outer mesh pouch for trash or whatever. It has little belt loops, so no more dangling straps! I'm large waisted and it fits me great and could go bigger if I needed it to. As a side note, I've tried arm bands for MP3 players and now iPhone. I can't stand them. I use this with my JayBird Sportsband SB1 Stereo Bluetooth Headset and I feel free and unrestricted. Nathan Gel Pack is where it's at!

Go Barefoot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the long run, May 17, 2009

This review is from: Nathan Gel Waist Pack (Sports)

When I'm on a long run of more than 2 hours, I like to bring along my iPhone, a few dollars and a couple of trusty Clif shots. I needed a waist pack that would hold these things without bouncing all over the place. I had considered getting an armband for my iPhone, but figured I'd hate having something strapped on my arm for a long run outside. The Nathan Gel waist pack looked like it was up to the task.

After a few minutes adjusting the waist strap, I set off on a good 16-miler. The waist pack fit snugly against my body and felt very comfortable. And the excess length of strap conveniently tucked through the loop on the pack. There was a bit of bounce to the pack initially, but within a mile or so the contents settled and I forgot it was even there. It will be ideal for my upcoming race events -- to hold my phone, keys, cash and shots. The designers included a number of different pockets, compartments and clips for just these kinds of things.

I wear mine with the strap just below the waistline of my running shorts. The pack tends to ride well when it sits just to one side of my backside (it naturally migrates to one side or the other, then stays put). I'd recommend this product to any runner or walker who needs to bring along a few essentials. It's ideal.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Marathon-proof", December 7, 2008

This review is from: Nathan Gel Waist Pack (Sports)

I ran the San Antonio Marathon on November 16th, 2008 with this pack after deciding I wanted to carry gel-packs, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, keys, id cards, and credit cards. It carried all of them well and without any noticeable friction or weight.
