Running & outdoor gear: running belt, sports glasses

Gear for runs, rides, hikes and days outside that keeps your hands free and your eyes shaded. The ARCh MAX Belt Pro Zip is a light Lycra running belt with five pockets, including a zipped front pocket for large phones, plus two elastic loops that hold trail running poles. The Dunlop sports glasses have a wraparound shield lens with a dark category 3 tint and a UV400 filter, and come with a case. For camping trips and beach days, the Abbey Camp double-action hand pump moves air on both the up and the down stroke and inflates air mattresses, pool toys and other inflatables without power or batteries.

What to check before you choose

Size matters most with the belt: it comes in L-XL only, for about 91–105 cm around where you wear it, so measure first. Category 3 lenses are made for bright sun; at dusk or in tunnels they cut too much light, and they have no optical correction. The lens colour of the Dunlop glasses is assigned at random. To pump up footballs or basketballs, you need a ball needle that fits the pump's nozzle, as one is not confirmed as included.
