I'm looking to buy my sister-in-law a race bib holder clipper thingy for Christmas. Anyone have a good recommendation, or can you point me to a previous thread? I couldn't find one.

Thanks!

I have the Amphipod one. It comes with a nice little pouch that's just the right size to carry a cell phone or gells or other small items. I wish I could find mine, since a lot of my cold weather running gear doesn't have pockets, so I've ended up running sans phone and carrying my house key in my hand.

I have a FuelBelt one. This one, specifically. It's awesome for long races (used mine for a marathon) and cheap. Held the number like a dream, and it was windy that day. Also can hold up to ten gels, which is a bit ridiculous but useful.

"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."
