For runners who prefer to go without a pack, the Silva Strive Belt offers a lightweight and versatile option that securely holds essentials like phones, keys, gels, and cards.

Silva says: 

Strive Belt Black is a lightweight and flexible running belt, perfect for your morning or evening runs. Run with confidence, knowing that your phone, keys, energy and credit cards are all with you – kept close, safe and dry.

The Strive Belt Black is elastic, easy to adjust, and has a breathable mesh backside for a comfortable fit. Whilst being small and flexible, the Strive Belt Black still allows you to carry more than what the eye can see. It contains one expandable main compartment that stretches to fit larger phones or additional items such as power bars or gels. The two smaller mesh pockets – one with easy access for bars or gels, and one zippered pocket with a key hook where you can store keys or credit cards.

The reflective areas on the belt combined with the Silva Tyto light holder ensures visibility when running on trafficked streets. With a slim weight of only 100 grams, Strive Belt Black is the perfect choice when you just want to get going for a quick and spontaneous run.

In comparison to previous models, the new Strive Belt-series has a bigger main pocket to fit larger, plus size phones. 

Our Verdict

For runners who like to go packless but still need to carry essentials, the Silva Strive Belt is a sleek, versatile option. This lightweight belt securely holds your phone, keys, gels and cards without bouncing or chafing. The stretchy main pocket expands to fit even plus-sized smartphones, while two mesh pouches provide quick access for fuel or holding smaller items like keys and credit cards.

What sets the Strive Belt apart is its array of intelligent features made specifically for runners. The rubberised back panel and straps prevent annoying slips during your stride. A dedicated light holder and reflective detailing boost visibility for early morning or night runs. And the weatherproof main pocket includes an earphone port for routing your headphone cord.
