Hydration Belt
Matched to runs of 60–120 minutes and no price limit.
Why this pick
At 60–120 minutes you need more than a handheld can reasonably carry, but a vest is more commitment than most runs in this range actually require. Since price wasn't the priority, this is the best-reviewed option in the category, cost aside.
Nathan Peak Running Hydration Waist Pack Belt w/Speed Draw Flask Water Bottle, 18oz/535 ml Push/Pull Race Cap, Expandable Zippered Stretch Pocket
An 18-ounce hard-sided flask with a push/pull race cap that's easier to drink from mid-stride than most soft-flask belts, with an angled holder so you're not fumbling for it one-handed.
