I have tried some on, but never owned. A few of my buddies have Naked belts and one has the Salomon belt. The main difference is that those are built with less structure, more nylon/stretch materials and so they will tend to my floppier and not as secure. Especially as you load the belt up more. It would be impossible to load the Naked belt with anywhere near as much as what the Raide belt can hold without it flopping around and bouncing like crazy. The Raide belt truly doesn’t move around, even as it holds three full flasks and other gear. Hope this helps!
Did the fit evolved at all over time? I have both a size small and medium that I’m debating between because I seem to fall in between. Wondering if the move is to go with a small and hope that is loosens up a bit with use
In 6 months I haven't noticed any major stretching or fit change. I had a conversation about this with someone the other day about how the material might stretch over time, but I can't speak to seeing that yet! Does the small fit ok? I've found it's a little struggle to pull on over the hips, but once over the fit is dialed! So if it feels a little tight sliding on, I think you're good and that's expected. Will also help with the no bounce security factor!
I’m wonder if you tried other running belt? Like Naked? Or Salomon? What’s the difference?

I truly went crazy when I saw you put 3 flasks (one is more than 500ml) into a running belt, makes me really wonder how tight it is!
Not super tight! That day we did 12 miles with 2500ft of gain and I didn’t think about the belt once! Didn’t move and carried everything I needed!
I’m now really curious, and want to get it! Shoot, let me see if I can buy one from anywhere.
If any issues getting one just shoot me a dm and I can have the shop near me ship you one!
I just checked it on their website, seems the xs is gone already😂
Great, let me DM you!
Love the craftsmanship of this belt!

Another fan here. Haven't managed to pack quite what you've done, top effort!
I find it so fun experimenting with max capacity on this thing. I found that the 650 + a 500 in the back works great!
