Question for anyone who has a Nathan Speed energy belt (Read 509 times)

Just got mine in the mail today and can't wait to use it, but I'm wondering how waterproof - well, sweatproof - the back pocket is. There are 2 compartments in the back - one all the way at the rear (closest to the body) and then another one on the outside of that one. What I'm wondering is whether I can put my cell phone in that outer compartment and not have to worry about my sweat getting to it. Hope that makes sense. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

I put my phone in a sandwich bag -- so that if it rains it doesn't get soaked.

Thanks. I've been putting the phone in a sandwich bag to put in the pocket of my pullover, but I was hoping the wicking feature on the belt would ensure the phone would stay dry. I think I'll keep doing the plastic bag thing. Thanks.

Well, actually, the wicking feature would be designed to pull moisture away from your body and spread it out... which might kind of encourage a good ol' dampening of stuff. Anyway, the stuff I've put in fuel belt and amphipod pockets generally stays dry except for hot days when I'm out there long enough to soak everything. Hard for say; the bag won't hurt anything. Incidentally, when you do manage to sweat soak that thing, note well that belts can be stinky stinky critters after awhile
