I currently use a traditional four bottle fuel belt. I have tried a number of others and fuel belt was the lesser of evils. I am looking for a belt that is more comfortable (ie: flexible and softer)

The helium looks to be the answer. any input from current users?

I love it. I got the L because the M was just a little too small. The problem was that the L was just a little too big. I actually tied the elastic part (between bottle holsters) on the left side of the belt in a knot and it's perfect. Doesn't rub, either.

Love it.  I didn't get a fuel belt before because they were so uncomfortable when I tried them on that I couldn't imagine running in one.  I tried on a helium and liked it a lot more.  It is very comfortable.  Doesn't slide and it is pretty flexible.

Third vote of support.

I've got a multitude of bottle carriers, including an older fuel belt.  I don't use any of them anymore in favor of the helium.

My biggest issue was I like to run without a lot of clothes ( hey!  not *completely* without, get your mind out of the gutter ) but just a very lightweight/minimal tank, and I have problems straps from the other belts digging into my hips.  Finished a 1:45 run with the Helium this past weekend and had none of the previous issues.  It also did not bounce, which is a huge plus.  If you're considering it, it's well worth it IMHO, especially if you comfort issues with how other carriers fit.
