A hydration belt refers to a gear designed for athletes or runners which helps them to carry water and remain hydrated during outdoor activities such as cycling and running. The human body eliminates water at an alarming rate while working out or training which can lead to headaches, muscle cramps and syncope.

Moreover, these belts are hassle-free, convenient, comfortable, light-weight and pocket-friendly. Due to these advantages, hydration belts are popular among professional runners and cyclists who regularly participate in marathons, trail running and triathlons. Additionally, with the escalating sales of fitness gears across the world, the demand for hydration belts is gradually gaining traction.
