One of the biggest problems I have when heading out for a run of any length is finding a spot to stash all of my stuff. I really dislike carrying my phone, water bottle, gels, etc in my hands. If it’s a long run, I purposely wear a skirt or capris that have a large enough pocket to hold my iPhone but that still leaves me carrying something. I’ve tried fuel belts but they just don’t fit right.
I was thrilled when Sprigs asked if I’d like to try their Big Banjees Wrist Wallet. It has lots of uses but I like that it’s marketed as a running wallet. It’s big enough to hold smartphones and also has a zippered pocket. Here’s a video demonstration. They come in great selection of colors.
Purple tie-dye? Oh yes!
I’ve worn the Banjees Wrist Wallet on two long runs and numerous short runs. My first impression was that it really doesn’t fit well on my wrist when I run. I slid it up to my forearm where it stayed in place better. Maybe it was the weight of my phone that made it slide around? I also was able to fit my house key and a gel in the zippered pocket. During each run, I never even noticed the weight of the phone. It stayed in place and was never in any danger of falling out of the pouch. It not only holds your gear but can be used to wipe sweat off your brow. I’ve washed it after every run, air dried it and it still fits great. No shrinking.
It’s perfect for when I take the kids and Cooper for a walk and need a place to stash tissues, keys, my debit card, lip balm, etc.
Do you think you could use a Banjees Wrist Wallet in your life?

I could really use this! I think the big banjees: purple paisley/black would be great!
These are awesome! I like the big bangee and I like the black/gray. I know so boring, but then I might get my husband to wear it too!!
This would be so cool! I want the blue paisley one!
Too bad it’s only open in the US. I’ve been eyeing these for a looooooooooong time!
They are so cool!

That’s my big problem too. Never enough pockets or large enough pockets for that matter. I love the pink/black paisley reversible one.

I like the paisley/black one! This would be something I would use – I never carry anything on my runs, but for the time when I need my phone or am out with the kids and just want to carry a couple things, this seems perfect:)

I love this. I would do the pink with the black stripe.
The purple tie dye is the best
Fun giveaway! I really like the organic cotton khaki colored banjees and the polyspandex reversible art tree brown/brown banjees. Both so cute!

I’ve wanted one of these FOREVER! Love the rainbow peace sign. I’m a hippie like that.

Thanks for the review! I’m thrilled we found each other. As for the sliding up your arm, yes, that does happen. That is actually a planned trait that we describe as “self adjusting;” meaning, a person with a smaller wrist and arm can wear the Banjees a little bit higher while Popeye would wear his around his wrist. Does that make sense?
And good luck to all of the entrants!
I love the blue/green stripe!

I LOVE the purple tie dye Big Banjee!!! I usually hide my key in my wheel well and feel thankful that I live in a safe, small town. However, I would LOVE to be able to carry my gels & keys & phone in a Banjee instead of having to wear certain clothes for my long runs. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
