I think the adjustment tool is for people who are outliers from average size, so the belt still fits. I needed to use it for tightening because I am petite. The only time the adjustment tool came apart was when I had dismantled the whole belt for washing and didn't secure it properly. I would recommend sewing the tape to the triangular tab, then you don't have them coming apart as you try to get the adjustment tool through. It is the only run belt that has fitted me and I am looking for a replacement for when my curent belt gives out.
I'm not sure a passport booklet would fit, don't think so. For just carrying around some cash, it might work well but I don't think it's really designed to be "out of sight" as some travel waistpacks are.
I thought so too and have been wearing mine with the water bottle at the front! Doesn't one need to access the water more frequently than the phone?! However models on the promotion pictures put the water pouch at the back. I think do whatever is comfortable and convenient.
Is it so snug that you can’t rotate it around your waist? If you need frequent a quick water access this is so not the thing to use, whichever way you like your pouches.
@@TrippKnightly Not necessarily. I wear it tight to stop slipping while I run. Also, I don't want to re straighten my top.layers on a damp cold day! I have trouble with belts on hips, they tend to slide upwards!
