Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!!! I got a really cool package in the mail a few days ago. When I tried it out I
couldn't wait to share this neat product with you! I have seen this item on the market over the last year or so and read countless articles and adds in magazines (runner's world and others) about this handy sports
accessory . What am I talking about?!?!
The SPIbelt! Let me introduce to you, The story of the creation of the Original SPIbelt from Kim Overton herself: 
Hello! I'm
Kim Overton, the creator of the Original
SPIbelt. People ask me all the time, "how did you come up with this?" I was out on a run one fall day and I had my key tucked into my sports top. This was the most frustrating thing, and I thought, "there's gotta be a better way!". (Donny
Deutsch loves that line, and invited me to his show February 2008, please watch the video). That exact day I went home and sewed the first ever
SPIbelt. I filed a patent February 2007, and started the "small personal item belt" business. I sewed the first several hundred by hand, hired local help continue the process.My background stems from business and fitness. I've always been an entrepreneur, running several ventures as a child, at the same time I was a competitive gymnast most of my young life through high-school. I moved to NYC in 1992, and co-founded and operated a back-end technology company in NYC from 1997 - 2001. In 2001, I launched the interactive department in the NYC advertising agency, The Lord Group. Witnessing the events of 9/11, I decided to take on a career that made a difference and became a personal trainer at Equinox in NYC. I fell deeply in love with helping improve the lives of others, and hold that value close to heart with each product we produce at
SPIbelt. Don't be fooled by imitators - just look for the
SPIbelt label inside the belt for authenticity. Well after going to the website and seeing these coll
Spibelts myself I just had to have one. I contacted Kim to see if I could review it myself! I was so excited to hear back so quickly that she was willing to send me one of my choice! There have been so many times that I am on the road either walking or running and the thought "I hope it
doesnt rain!" pops into my head. If I am lucky and think about it I will bring a plastic bag with me to be safe but so many times I forget. I asked for the water resistant one and I was glad that I did! The very first time I wore my
SPIbelt, it rained while I was jogging! I was excited to put this baby to the test! Here is some info of the cool belt that I got first!

I also loved how the belt was almost not noticable while wearing it. It lays flat and does not, let me repeat, does not look like a fannie pack. It's completely water resistant and I
couldn't be happier with this product! I give
SPIbelt a 10!
