Mum and I love our Freetrains and have recommended this piece of kit to so many people. I’m able to have my hand sanitiser and inhaler on me without it being too bulky. Plus my phone is in a separate section so easily accessible without everything falling out. It stays in place as you run and the reflective sections are great for night runs. You can easily wear you chest torch over the top too.
Nicholas B.
Absolutely love this product. Yes I gave it 5 stars because the problem with it, is my problem. Its a little tight for the bigger guy. I'm a 48 inch chest and it is a very snug but fits. A larger size would be great.
So yes a great product very well made and I use mine on every run.

It took me a while to decide if I wanted to buy one of these and I’m so glad I did. It is really comfortable and barely moves when I’m running. I went for the grey reflective design and it looks good and is well made. I’d highly recommend a Free train to anyone looking for an alternative to an armband I certainly won’t be going back to one.
Fernanda T.
Perfect gadget for a run. Easy to change my music or podcast, and check my pace. Very resistant and durable as well.
Martyna F.
I was waiting a while to order the vest as at first it was out of stock and then the deliveries to Ireland were suspended for a while but when I eventually received it it was worth the wait, very comfortable and adjustable. Wish it had a bigger pocket as I have the Jabra elite 65T headphones and the case doesn't fit any of the pockets which is a shame but other than that cannot fault it.
james r.
Very good product, 2 improvements I can see to make it even better.
1. More reflective material at the
rear.
2. A more substantial clip for
dropping the phone down.
Excellent product I had been looking for. As and arm and wrist straps are not as practical...
Customer
Absolutely love it. Phone fits perfectly and with the adjustable straps. Means that it not too tight
Mike A.
Just got a new "large" mobile so could not carry it in my pocket, or in my old phone holder that was on my arm. The Freetrain product allows me to go running and easily check the distance covered and to football coach with access to parents messaging me, the planned drills and time before finishing. It is a game changer!
Willaim S.
Really comfortable and easy to use your phone on the run. Wished I had bought this ages ago.
Sharon P.
Holds everything I need when I go for a run, compact & lightweight
Chris M.
Really enjoy using the freetrain .justed wished they were a little bigger
Helen S.
I wear it for all my runs, pockets are great for car keys and dog poop bags. Highly recommend this product
Olayinka S.
Amazing.I got for my sister and her husband. I got for my self as well as I've just started running. It's absolutely amazing. Keeps my phone keys and earpods safe and secure whilst I run. Highly recommended for workouts.
John M.
I was initially dubious that it would work but I was wrong. Once I adjusted it, which is very easy, it is very comfortable and I forget its on. Great piece of kit when you don't want to use a full backpack and infinetly better than an arm strap.
Mike M.
Five stars all round!
Lee H.
Once informed it was back in stock was shipped quickly
Feels like I don’t have it on
Claire M.
Love it, but would be better if it had adjustable shoulders. I'm tall so it sits slightly too short on my torso.
Christopher B.
Brilliant idea , just one thing would be good to have a small hole.for wire for the earphone .other than that amazed
Lindsay S.
Brought this as a present as I have one and I use it when I am out for a run.
Lynnette B.
Being new to running I was trying to carry my phone and keys and feel comfortable running, then the advert kept appearing on my Instagram feed. So I thought why not try it. This has been one of my best buys this year. Love it!
Tim G.
Sat on the fence for a while before buying a Freetrain vest and when I finally got one I wish I had brought one ages ago.
Simple design, amazing build quality, super comfortable and easy to use. Highly recommend to any runner / active people.
Joe D.
Love my freetrain. Couldn't wait to wear it the next morning after it arrived. Easy access to phone when I want it my wee ones like to face time when I'm out running sometimes to see where I am.
One small down side, this is the size of my phone Huawei p30 pro. There's a mistouch prevention system in place this always comes on when trying to change song etc
Overall I love having it!
Matthew .
Love this, convenient, lightweight perfect...
Amanda S.
I think a few tweaks in design will make it a better fit for women. More storage needed.
Lara G.
Great fit for me, straight from the packaging. Comfy and hardly aware i have it on. I don't even notice my phone in the pocket and it is easy to unbutton and look at and use my phone as required. Good quality product. I bought this more for the ease of carrying my phone, for safety reasons and to hold my house key. But for someone using their phone for music/tracking their activity, it is a game changer. No more weighty phone on your arm or tucking away into a waist bag where you can't see the screen.
Leanne R.
Lightweight and pleased i chose the reflective one as I like to run at night.
Kathryn B.
I love my Freetrain. It’s so comfortable you don’t even know you are wearing it. It doesn’t move whether you are doing a steady run or sprints it doesn’t move. Wish I had bought one sooner.
Michael S.
Great kit, only down side is the joining of the seam on the front right side is at a touch point so can feel sore on long runs, hasn't caused a blister yet and doesn't stop me using it.
Also plastic screen can't be used with screen protectors as it sticks to the phone and pulls them off.
Martin m.
Fantastic product really happy with it. Fast delivery
Francesco Paolo D.
My best piece of running gear
Gary B.
The vest is great for short runs, its really lightweight, great for carrying my phone, keys and energy gels.
Brenda L.
So comfortable, I was a bona fide bum bag user, but this is a game changer ! Hated arm holders as well. Now I can check my phone without having to completely stop during a run.
Sarah B.
Brilliant. So comfortable and holds everything that I need when I go out running.
Pete T.
Great fit and feels good
Duncan G.
Great product! Easy to use and comfortable.
Ciarán S.
Happy with purchase. I would like some way of attaching light/ led for dark runs. Maybe even as an optional extra when purchasing.
Andrew J.
Excellent product, very comfortable and has helped me achieve new PB whilst running, I no longer have to worry about an arm band falling, or coming lose.
Lisa B.
After being Instagram ad-spammed by Freetrain, and then seeing a friend wearing one, I decided to bite the bullet and just get one! Very glad I did! I like to carry my phone with me on a run - to use Strava, to take photos and for safety, especially on long runs - but my phone is too big to carry in a pocket. I tried an armband-style holder, but found it really uncomfortable, and annoying that you can't operate the phone while wearing it. The Freetrain vest is perfect! I was worried that it might not be comfortable around the boobs, but it's absolutely fine (though to be fair my girls are not *that* big). So far no rubbing or chafing. My phone fits well without jiggling about and the extra pockets for keys and gels are great too - no more tying my door key to my shoelace, lol! I initially thought that the price was a bit on the steep side, especially since you can get armband holders for a couple of quid on Amazon, but I've worn the Freetrain for every single run since purchasing it, so the cost per run has come down to pence now. When you think of it like that, it doesn't seem so expensive!
Janine M.
Great item. Super comfy to wear.
Peter C.
Really comfortable to wear and much better than carrying your phone on your arm especially for longer runs.
Only small negative, is that I have the XR iphone which is quite big and I have to take off its cover in order for it to fit inside the VR Vest. Apart from that its a super bit of kit.
Angela S.
It's absolutely brilliant carries my phone house key and with some velcro holds my water bottle so totally gives me the freedom of not carrying stuff in my hands love it
Clayre Y.
Really comfy, really light - love the colour. Absolutely perfect! Great purchase :)
Jonathan B.
A solid bit of kit which is very helpful for runs. It can be a tad uncomfortable on longer runs or on hot days but not so much so that I would stop using it. It’s much better than having to hold my phone in my hands or an arm pouch. The key pocket is a particularly useful feature.
Sophie E.
Snugg fit.. best bit of kit for running and cycling ✌️
Lynda H.
Great piece of kit. Phone doesn’t move as you run and really easy access. Does exactly what it’s meant to do.
Vicky W.
I had an initial problem with my purchase having been sent the wrong item which took a while to sort but the communication from Customer Services was excellent.
I absolutely love the vest though, I had preservations that I might find it uncomfortable but quite the opposite. In fact once it’s on you barely notice it’s there. The quality is excellent and the adjustable straps mean it can be altered to fit how you want. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to take their phone running/training etc with them. It’s so much better than having it on my arm.
Martin K.
Great piece of kit. The only minor irritation is that the phone screen sticks to the see through panel. I’m worried that I’ll split the panel trying to get the phone out.
Taking my phone allowed me to call for help when I picked up an injury last weekend so it’s already proved worthwhile.
Dean S.
Remember when I first seen the free train product way way back and I bought the original black one and fell I love and now I have upgraded to the silver reflection
Abiir S.
I love it!! I wear mine when cycling and running
Fiona M.
So comfortable and easy to wear. Great to be able to look at your phone, change podcast or song and keep running.
Nicola W.
Light weight, comfortable to wear. Better now arms are free whilst running.
scott m.
Insane product. Brings running to life and gives everyone a reason to strap in and go kick lifes ass
Helen P.
I was a little sceptical but after my first run with the freetrain I no longer think about it. I'm comfortable, it doesn't rub, my phone stays dry when it's wet and I can change tracks without removing the phone from the free train. And it fits!! I just remove the phone from the cover that it sits in. I love it. Best £30 on running kit I ever spent. Well worth it!
Customer
Great for running, cycling and even used for walks when cold and wanting to wear gloves but use the phone for calls! Easy fit and comfortable.
Customer
I love this! So glad I bought it, it’s changed my running experience.
It’s not as easy to look at your phone whilst running as they make out, but defo better than the bloody arm band! Defo recommend.
My only other comment would be to make the pockets slightly bigger, as I can’t rly put anything inside (AirPods case doesn’t fit)
Conall M.
Use it all the time. Really handy for taking phone and keys and not getting run over
tracy m.
I was desperate to buy this to help me when running and it did not dissapoint.
I'm a larger lady with big boobs and it's very comfortable to wear, and it's brilliant that I've got my phone at the ready when needed instead of searching in my pocket.
Thank you.
Christina H.
Absolutely perfect for running.cant feel it at all, love all the little compartments for my phone and car key. Thank you Freetrain
Kevin R.
I find it very comfortable and works for me. I'm very Happy with my purchase.
Alan S.
Quick delivery to Ireland. Very handy for storing your car key while on a run. Very comfortable
Trevor N.
Great phone holder and really comfortable would be perfect if the gel holder was bigger to fit in a couple of gels
Carl C.
I purchased this as I was running with an arm phone holder and no where to put my keys and this has been amazing and i can run without having to worry about being able to see my phone when I get a message and it's so light weight you don't realise you even have it on
Angela B.
A comfortable fit and easy to adjust. A definite must have if your running.
Rob R.
Very happy with Freetrain VR Vest, makes running much easier without phone in shorts pocket. It’s a little tricky to insert IPhone 8 probably because my phone has it's own case. It’s great that you can use your phone through the clear protection cover of the vest. All good!
Andrew B.
Best piece of running kit ever purchased no hassle with phone or keys and super reflective money well spent
Bridget R.
Comfortable and secure; the screen cover is thin enough to be able to swipe the screen and 'sticky' enough to hold the phone still. Planning to use it on the bike as well as running/hillwalking.
David M.
Really like this vest. Only one slight hiccup, the clear plastic for carrying the phone ripped quite easily. Not sure it’s weatherproof now!!
Elizabeth H.
Great fit, I can barely tell it’s on and it’s great to have my hands free of my phone. The extra pocket isn’t big enough to fit a gel in though which is disappointing. It’s also really hard to get my phone back out once it’s in. But the positives far outweigh the negatives and I now have two so I can put one in the wash. Would definitely recommend.
Paul M.
I was looking for anything to put the phone in while running and found out about Freetrain. Absolutely perfect for running as you wouldn’t even know the phone was there. Brilliant product! Love it
mark e.
Getting the phone in and out can be tricky but there is a knack to it. Once the phones in it’s a great bit of kit n easy to use
phil d.
Fits well and secure whilst running. Fits my phone very snuggly so can be difficult to remove at times, if i had a bigger phone it would not fit. (Redmi note8 phone)
Jason P.
Works great specially the reflective vest, use for night runs & bike rides , only thing would say it’s a little tight for my large iPhone (12 pro max)
Stephen D.
Has transformed my running with phone experience. I had tried hip carriers, but got stitch where I wore it, so moved to upper arm bands, and thought that was fine. When I needed a new arm band, thought I would give this a go instead, and live it.
Scott J.
Great piece of equipment really handy on a run for keeping a key etc safe and just big enough for my p30. So don't go crazy with the size of your mobile!
Daniel T.
Really comfortable and light
Caroline M.
After having used various belts and arm bands, this is by far the best product I have found for carrying phone and keys. An added bonus is that it is reflective too. Perhaps a little more expensive than some others, but well worth the money.
Anne A.
Easy and practical to use. Suggest that you offer a variety of sizes for the phone compartment. Newer mobile phone models tend to be larger than previous onez
ricky m.
Great product, fits perfectly, holds everything I need (phone, gels, cards and keys) and I don't even realise I am wearing it!
Becks W.
Honestly the best thing I've found to hold my phone and while running. Really loving the reflective one as I run early mornings.
Bernie H.
Really nice fit and phone does not move about. Reflective also means I feel safer at night. Generally phone usage while in situ has been fine just one occasion where it seemed to be problematic trying to type a text through the clear cover. Overall very happy and glad I purchased it
Adam M.
Brilliant serves it purpose 100 %
Janet B.
Comfortable to run in and very useful for holding my IPhone.
Callum F.
Absolutely love it! 10/10 would recommend! Been looking high and low for a product like this! Needed something that I trusted to hold my phone while I went running and this does it perfectly
Daniel B.
Definitely Recommend.
Sophie U.
I love this, so much easier and comfortable. It doesn't feel like you have anything extra on, and it has extra pockets for keys.
Jamie P.
Very comfortable to wear.
Lucy G.
I am delighted with my Freetrain vest - it's really comfortable whilst running and I even wear it when I'm cycling. I decided on the more reflective/grey version because I run on local roads a lot in the Winter mornings, so need passing cars to see me easily! I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't like to wear anything too clunky with pockets - this is simply somewhere to store a phone and keys.
Craig S.
Great product. Functional and safety rolled into one. Only thing I would change is some way of fastening/unfastening the chest belt. Maybe Velcro or a clip, as someone who struggles with shoulder injuries I find it quite hard to untwist the elastic belt after putting it on.
Small minus of an overall positive product
Danielle H.
Absolutely love my vest! I can hardly tell I'm wearing it, it's so comfortable and the fact that it is reflective has been great for my evening runs after work in the winter. Would 100% recommend.
Finian G.
Absolutely fab. Love it. Use it running and on mountain bike and it is great. Sits more snug than I thought it would. Would defo recommend.
Adam D.
Great product. You need to sort the velcro out as it comes away not long after purchase. I just superglued it back on....
Katherine A.
Great piece of kit, used by myself (5 ft 4) and my partner (6 ft 4) and works perfectly for both of us. It does feel a little narrow on the shoulders but doesn't rub so not a problem.
Alexandra F.
Bought for my husband who is really pleased with it. It holds his iphone XS Max comfortably and fits the house key. He said he cant see how gel would fit in there as well, but he doesn't use them so wouldn't be an issue for him specifically. The reflectiveness is a major bonus and is really bright when lit up. Very impressed with this aspect.
Jim O.
Totally changed my runs. No more uncomfortable running belts slipping down my waist or phones bouncing around in a pocket, but best of all, if I have any need to look at my phone I don't need to stop running. I absolutely love it.
Ben B.
Great best which allows me to carry my phone, keys and be seen during those early dark morning runs. Very comfortable to wear and you hardly notice it being there when you run. Great product. Highly recommend buying.
Monique P.
Love running in this, great quality and comfortable
