LF 2L Running Belt x Norda

Raide Research x norda LF 2L Running Belt

norda and Raide have released a collaborative LF 2L running belt in a bespoke Bark colorway. Following an inaugural LF 2L belt collaboration in July 2025, this second iteration further strengthens norda and Raide’s shared dedication to efficient human-powered movement in the mountains.

The original bounceless running belt, the LF 2L enables you to run further with nothing on your back. In the Bark colorway, it features a two-tone brown-and-black scheme with a bespoke norda x Raide whorl graphic hit on both the rear pocket and the included locking-lid 650ml Hydrapak flask.

Key among the LF 2L’s technological facets are its no-bounce internal strap system, where four flexible plastic stays work with a top circumference that’s 4’ smaller than the bottom circumference to offer an anatomical fit, and an innovative storage pocket system. A rear stuff pocket is large enough to fit two 650ml flasks, a small zippered pocket securely holds keys or credit cards, a versatile front pocket is capable of holding a phone and other accessories, and two interior gel pockets allow easy access to nutrition.

Other features include a 3mm rear foam lining that keeps the belt as close to the wearer’s body as possible, enhancing lockdown and comfort while buffering body heat to keep your liquids cooler for longer, and a 2.5mm elastic cord with a locking mechanism on the rear for ice axe or running pole carry.

Durability goes hand in hand with storage, as the norda x Raide LF 2L is made from a 70d stretch woven material with a 3mm x 3mm UHMWPE ripstop coating for cut and abrasion resistance.
