I usually use it to hold a GU gel. It is not big enough for an iPhone/smartphone. No, the pocket is quite small. I usually use it to hold a GU gel. It is not big enough for an iPhone/smartphone.

If you don't like waist belts, you would probably do very well with 1 (or 2) handheld bottles for distances of 20k+. I find it becomes a natural thing once you have gotten used to it. Some people find they prefer 1 bottle and switch sides with it every once and a while. Others prefer 2 bottles. Because the holder is so comfortable, you don't really have to "hold" it. You just slip your hand into the holder and tighten the strap. It pretty much holds itself. The only hurdle to get past is having something in your hand. Good luck! Hi Emy

I don't like waist belts either, and can refill my bottle along my route...... I guess I'm just concerned about having to hold it for so long? ... but I've been okay with holding a plain Zephryhills 16.9 oz bottle during my runs up to 10 miles..... so I'm hoping that the strap and the insulation will make it even more comfortable for my longer runs to come.....
