Built to be the workhorse trainer. For everything from shorter road sessions to the mid-week trail runs. For the days when you need nutrition and hydration, but don't need some of the weight and capacity of our LF 2L running belt. We took the no-bounce suspension system of the LF 2L and made it lighter. Comes with a 500mL locking cap flask. Patent pending.

The UL 1L uses a 70d stretch woven DotAir which is the most durable way to add breathability to a woven fabric.
Belt Structure

The UL 1L features 2mm of foam against the back and 4 flexible plastic stays. This structure keeps the belt close to your body instead of rounding away from your back like other belts. The foam, which is perforated for breathability, also insulates your bottle from your body heat, keeping your liquids cooler for longer.
Internal Pockets
Organize your gear where you want it
Organize your gear where you want it
The UL 1L has 3 interior pockets and 6 pockets total for organization. 2 pockets in the front for gels, trash, headphones, etc and one zippered pocket inside the back pocket. We believe the main pockets (front + back) should be large for the ultimate flexibility. For a bit of external organization we also added 2 external small pockets.
Organization
Continuous pocket for flex storage

We believe instead of many small pockets 2 main large pockets gives the ultimate flexibility. The outer pockets are split into the front and back. The front has 2 access points, and the back has one access point and spans the entire length between the dark black seams.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Raide builds light, aesthetic and balanced equipment for steep terrain. We believe that the best gear isn’t dependent on any one variable, like being the lightest, but a combination of style, weight, durability, and functionality to solve problems for outdoor athletes.
Stop looking, because this is the ultimate running belt
Raide Research is a brand like no other. I've never worn a running belt with as much capability, comfort, and function.

Perfect Belt for “Shorter” Runs
I like this belt very much. I own the LF 2L as well but sometimes it is too much belt. The UL 1L is the perfect in between when you want a belt to have more than just carrying water in a handheld but don’t need too much belt. So far I’ve used this in up to 10 mile runs, carrying gels, my phone and the 500ml water bottle. I will say as a tip, place the water bottle in nozzle first as I did have difficulty the other way. Other than that, this gives all the features like the 2L belt in a smaller package. Same bounce free performance as the 2L belt. I also really like the tightening straps, very easy to adjust mid run.

Goated belt
Have tried several belts over 1k miles each, every one has stretched out and resulted in water bottle flap in the back pouch. This raide belt has been far and away the best I have used for comfort and stability. Would recommend checking size you order, mine is a bit tight but has broken in a bit and is now very comfortable.
