The Bottom Line

The Amphipod Full Tilt system is contoured to fit snugly into your lumbar area with zero bounce and no interfering with the jacket, etc. The 20 oz. water bottle is contoured fits securely in its sleeve. It is surrounded top and bottom by zippered pouches to carry along small essentials. Fast walkers and racewalkers would find this style to be excellent for moving with their body.

Guide Review - Amphipod Full Tilt Drink Belt Pack

The Amphipod Full Tilt system is contoured to ride snugly in the small of your back without getting in the way of your jacket, arm motion, etc. It is a zero-bounce system.

Water Bottle

The widemouth 20 oz. water bottle is contoured to fit the curve of your back. It is "ice cube ready." It slips easily but securely back into its sleeve, but there is a bungee you can use for extra stability.

Breathable No-Bounce Belt

The belt is comfortable and easily adjustable. The belt in back of the trail pouch is vented and breathable mesh.

Pouch

I have a full wardrobe of water carrier fanny packs, and I found the Amphipod Full Tilt pouch to be a little too small. You can carry either your cell phone or your wallet, but not both. There is a larger zippered pocket on top and a small one on the bottom.

I like the low profile design of the Full Tilt, and would use it for walks of 30-60 minutes when I didn't need to carry much along with me other than the water and a few essentials. For fast walking, this is a good design due to its stability and low profile.
