I haven''t had a problem with the bottles leaking or coming loose in the holders as I am running. The fanny pack is big enough to hold my iPhone if I choose to put it there. The belt is one size with 2 adjustment straps. I have not had the belt ride up on me either during running.
Bottom line, I am very pleased with the Nathan running belt and would recommend it.For such a nice looking water belt it has a few flaws.
Pros.
The even weight distribution feels great compared to having one or two large bottles in the back.
Cons.
1. The Water bottles work their way out of the holders easily. They need some means of keeping them in.
2. You can''t slide the water bottle holders around on the belt so if it starts rubbing on your waist wrong you have to slide the entire belt.
3. You can''t slide any other accessories that slide onto belts on to this one.
4. The elastic straps constantly work their way loose. You have to re-tighten them every few minutes on a hard downhill run.
5. If you accidentally pull the rubber mouth piece out too far then the bottle will forever leak.

I recently completed my first marathon with this water belt. I especially loved the little pouch as I was able to carry everything I needed for the race with out worry that something would fall out. Highly recommend.Read Best Reviews of Nathan Trail Mix 4 Waist Pack Here
The pack is very comfortable once you have the straps adjusted properly. First use was during a 1/2 marathon, which was a mistake b/c I hadn''t found the right fit. Eventually got the belt adjusted and was happy. One of the features that makes the belt easily adjustable while wearing is that it has a clasp with adjustable straps and NOT Velcro. Considering ordering the version with only 2 bottles for shorter runs.The best part of the pack is the pouch; it stretches and should fit most larger smartphones (iphone, Galaxy and etc.). Don''t like carrying my phone at all when I run, but I realized I needed to have it with me just in case something happened.The only issue I had with this product was the bottles would fall out while running and a couple of the tops broke; however, the company was great when I contacted then. They sent replacement bottles.
