running vest phone holder that stays in place
Guide / 01
Fit the vest before adding speed
Adjust the waist belt over your running layer, close the pockets and make sure the straps sit flat. The phone should fit inside the 20 × 13cm chest pocket without forcing the zip.
Guide / 02
Check movement in stages
Walk, jog and gently change direction with your usual phone inside. If the vest shifts, adjust it or reduce the load; do not assume one setting will work for every body or device.
Guide / 03
Use a short route as your test
Try the loaded vest before taking it on a long run. Heavy devices, bulky cases and extra pocket contents can change how it moves, so keep the setup simple.
