What are you heading out to do?
This is the biggest factor in which belt suits you.
Do you need to carry a phone?
Phones are the single thing that decides belt size.
How long are you usually out for?
Longer runs mean more fuel, water and layers.

Do I need a running belt or a running vest?
A belt suits most road running, racing and training up to marathon distance. A vest makes more sense once you need litres of water and layers, which usually means long trail and ultra distances.
What is the difference between a race belt and a running belt?
A race belt is a slim strap built to hold a race bib and a gel or two, with no real storage. A running belt usually means a wider belt with a pocket for a phone, keys and cards. TEMPO PACE is the first, TEMPO CARRY is the second.
Are TEMPO belts suitable for men and women?
Yes. Every belt is designed to fit a wide range of body shapes and running styles, for runners of all genders.
Can you wear a running belt with a hydration vest?
Yes. A slim belt like PACE sits under or below a vest without interfering, which is common for runners who want their bib on a belt and their water on their back.
