A water bottle belt is some must-have hydration gear, whether you’re a long distance runner or someone who just likes jogging around with block without clutching a clunky bottle in one hand.
The FuelBelt Helium Water Bottle Belt allows you to carry four 8 oz ergonomic, leakproof, and dishwasher safe water bottles on your runs. By spreading the weight out through four different bottles, you don’t get that lopsided feel you would if you had just one bottle hanging on your side.
The belt itself features a “control-stretch waistband” and a Velcro closure so you can get a secure and comfortable fit. In addition, breathable therma-foam is supposed to keep it from feeling too hot. The water bottle belt also comes with a removable race pocket, useful for stashing keys, salt tabs, money, etc.
The FuelBelt is available in a number of different colors with prices ranging from $30 to $50 or so at Amazon (depending on the bells and whistles you choose).

One great alternative to waist belts is the Body Bottle - a water bottle that straps to your bicep for easy and comfortable hydration.
