Does anybody here use a Race bib belt

[Mushe]

I'm very short-waisted, and I feel like the bibs take up my whole chest. Would I look like a poser with a belt? I'm also thinking of getting a Nathan speed belt for water, so I wouldn't do both, but looking for input.

Thanks!

I have a race bib belt that I use for tris. I think Nathan makes a belt you can customize by adding water bottles, pockets, race bib clips, etc.  (I don't have one, but it would solve your issue of having two belts.)

I have a race bib belt (I think it's made by Fuel Belt) for tri's that I also wear for running races so I don't put pin holes in my shirts. It also has spots to tuck gels in, so that is just as useful in running as tri's. I wish it had hydration bottle spots though. For my last half I wanted to carry water so instead of my race bib belt I just wore my hydration belt and pinned my bib to the belt.

I always use a race belt.

Thanks! I'll check it out at REI or my LRS, to see if I can find one that does both.

I always always use a race belt. Got one for tris and use it for all races. My mom just sent one a second one, she was like "these are the best!!!!" and I had to break her heart that I'd discovered them on my own.

Of course the one mom sent is purple so it wins.

Yep, I use a race bib belt. I don't like making holes in my shirts and I always have trouble getting the safety pins lined up properly, anyway.

I have this one - I wish it had a space for a bottle but I love not having to worry about having safety pins

I have a spibelt and a fuel belt, which has a smaller pocket and doesn't fit my phone as well. I love not having my bib pinned to my shirt. It just always bothers me there.

Would someone mind posting a picture wearing your race belt? I'm having a hard time picturing the logistics of it. Do you wear it on your waist and then have the number near your shorts?

Ooh, the Nathan add on belt looks perfect! There's even a phone option, which is great.

Not sure if this will work but I just got pics yesterday and I was wearing mine. This shirt was looser than I preferred so I didn't wear it around my waist but that could also work.
