(Health-NewsWire.Net, November 02, 2015 ) New York, New York -- As New York City braced for the New York Marathon this past weekend, PEAK Gear is hoping to capitalize on the growing number of runners that are flocking to its money belt and using it as a running belt.
When PEAK Gear introduced their revolutionary money belt earlier this year they knew travelers would agree that they had a developed the best hidden travel wallet on the market because they had examined all competing money belts and improved upon them to create the PEAK money belt. What PEAK Gear was not anticipating was the large number of people that would buy their product to store their valuables while running, biking or working out.
PEAK Gear has been thrilled with the number of people who are purchasing their belt not necessarily because they are planning a trip and want to protect themselves from pickpockets but because the lightweight and comfortable nature of the PEAK money belt make it an ideal way to store money, keys, and cell phones while working out.
"We immediately started getting feedback from customers that said that the soft itch free elastic straps and the tricot wick backing made our money belt an ideal option for those who did not otherwise have a secure place to keep their valuable while they were out for a run." Says Jeff Roberts the co-founder of the PEAK money belt.
"I guess it is not surprising that that the same attributes that make this lightweight comfortable money belt ideal for someone back-packing around Europe in the summer heat would make this the perfect companion for those wanting to store their belongings while they work out" Says Roberts with beaming smile and clear pride in a product that he was so instrumental in designing.
PEAK Gear prides itself on its money belt, a product that was carefully designed in the USA and tested by American travelers. Mr. Roberts claims that it is the most secure money belt available and features RFID block which provides protection from electronic pickpocketing and identity theft.
PEAK Gear uses the highest quality zippers, buckles and fabric. For example, they use YKK zippers that won't jam or break and 210D ripstop nylon rather than the 70D nylon or polyester that their cheaper competitors use.
Perhaps most attractive to the growing number of runners who are using the product is the special moisture wick backing that allows the money belt to sit comfortably around the waist regardless of the temperature.
