It’s all in the details
While a full performance review of the original Raide Equipment LF 2L Belt can be found here, its premise is worth repeating.
The goal of the belt is to let runners ditch the pack and have the full carrying capacity of one at the same time. Of course, that also comes with a zero-bounce clause, no matter how much junk you throw in the trunk. You better believe I maxed that thing out. Two bottles, a water filter cap, a phone, nutrition, and a jacket all fit without bouncing. Yes, even on the downhills. External pole loops truly do give the capacity for bringing everything one would need on a long run or trail racing adventure.
Combining the practicality of the Raide LF SL Belt with Norda’s pure aesthetic is drool-worthy. Because of the quality, there’s no reason I need this collab belt, but I NEED this belt. If you know what I mean?
If you’re unfamiliar with Norda’s design philosophy, the words simple and subtle describe it. It doesn’t need much branding because the clean colors, design, and, most importantly, performance will do all the talking. The belt also takes on the eye-catching off-centered logos of both brands.
