The body of the armband light is flexible and weather resistant. It has the choice of two light settings; static or strobe. The strobe setting flashes at 120 flashes per minute. The elastic strap attaches using Velcro making it easy to put on and adjust. There is also a light reflective panel on the strap to help with the overall visibility of the running band.

The Velcro band is stretchy, easy to adjust, and stays securely in place thanks to a simple design we wish was replicated by more of the brand’s models. A mesh layer behind the phone compartment also allows for a little sweat ventilation. Some armbands have space to carry extra items like cash, cards, and keys, while others are more minimalist in their design, only big enough to carry a phone. Decide how much space you need first. This model has a few advantages over the standard window-screen band. For one, it can stretch to fit any size phone, whether or not that phone is inside a case (though bigger phones might bounce a bit). It also makes it easy to access the phone’s screen, should you need to change up your music or take a call mid-run. While armbands are convenient and often the lowest profile option, they frequently have limited storage space.When it comes to keeping your phone clean and sweat-free, opt for this running armband that has a plastic layer to slip your phone in. It’s compatible with many different brands including Apple and Samsung so your phone will likely fit into the pouch for safe keeping. The best part about this water-resistant armband is that it actually stays in place, according to Runner’s World photo editor Kristen Parker, who admits she finds armbands in general to be “inherently a little bulky and annoying.” You’ll find an adjustable armband to position it in a comfortable spot on your upper arm for the duration of your run. If it happens to rain while you're out, its waterproof coating will keep your device protected and intact.

With a bright red LED light at each end which illuminates the entire length of the strap, this device helps draw attention to your presence. Also, with an adjustable strap, this is a comfortable device to wear and a great way to help you get seen by road users when you are out on a run. And then there’s the fact that the web-mounted design is simply easier than systems like LifeProof’s band, which require you to attach a mount to your phone. You can still rotate the phone 360 degrees while inside the VUP armband mount, and then easily remove it while still hooked to the mount by pushing it in and twisting. But within the first minute of running, I became sweaty enough that the band clung securely to my arm without budging or bouncing. The stretchy performance fabric with gripper dots held fast but never felt constrictive, obtrusive, or hot.The device comes with two CR2032 batteries (pre-installed) which easily replaceable. We tested the device with a new set of batteries and got around 50 hours of static light at full brightness. After this time the armband still functions but the light is dimmer and lasted a further 50 hours. Using the flashing function should make the batteries last about 40% longer than that. Keep in mind that the mount adaptors often attach directly to your phone case—one way around this is buying a beater phone case for use with the armband and taking your phone out of the case after runs. The band comes in six sizes designed to accommodate every type of phone and phone case, from the smallest iPhones carried without a case all the way up to an iPhone plus or Note 10+ inside a bomb-proof Otterbox.
