I know this is old.. just came across this thread.  I can make a waterproof runner's belt with alert symbols.  They hide nicely under clothes too :)  https://www.etsy.com/listing/201122079/super-slim-custom-epi-pen-auviq-waist?ref=shop_home_feat_4 
plus this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/216765642/upgrade-to-waterproof-for-select-cases?ref=shop_home_active_8

Hope  that helps :)

Were you able to find a suitable solution?

Am looking at lululemon's men's line of shorts -- wish there were more close up photos of the zipper pockets!  (Like with that zipper open and some idea of pocket size and fabric.
It's not the zipper pocket I stick my Allerjects in, but the gels pockets built into the waistband.  PM me your email address or iPhone number (if you have one) and I can send you photos if you like via iMessage or email.  The zip pouch is usually mesh inside, but some have a water-resistant material and zipper (marked as such on the website - same design, just a different pocket).  The waist band pouches are often Luxtreme (leggings material) and are really secure, despite not having a zipper, especially if you tie up the waist ties.

Can get sew on patch with medical symbol -- wondering if son would OK that even for the arm band option?  I think it would be smart.

Could also hotglue (or some kind of glue) one onto a waterproof pouch for the swimbag. 

ETA -- We've also got a couple of outgrown Speedo-like jammers I could use to try to make something (in my copious free time, LOL).

Yes-- we've used star-of-life patches on bags in the past.

Cue EpiPen in pocket jokes. 

Bicycling gear might be a good source for pocketed items.

Might be hard shopping for a teen boy at lululemon.  I don't know about a guys' gear but my women's Under Armour often has a pocket inside the waist band.  You might be able to get an old iPhone 4 or iPod neoprene arm band for carrying.  I can't run with a phone on my arm.  Lift; yes,  Run; no.

There are plenty of people that customize holsters (Kydex, leather) for waistband carries. I'm thinking the profile of a single mag pouch would do. If I were male, I'd make really sure whatever or however I carry doesn't do what's called "print" like a concealed weapon.  Like a huge MedicAlert symbol on the outside even if its inside the waist band.

Let me think about this one.  Kydex is good material for inner waist band carries.

I've found in store stuff for water/sports right now is slim pickings here -- since it's winter.  I'll likely have to shop online for that.  REI was too crazy for me to venture inside the other day.

Off to look at lululemon, thanks!

Thanks all for the many suggestions.

I'm also going to add reflector tape of some kind to whatever I get if doesn't come already installed.  He is running with winter light on shaded/tough vis roads and trails.  I want to improve that safety situation too.

Geez, I'm such a M-O-M!!

;D

We have had pretty good luck with cell phone carriers that we use for kayaking, Ajas-- NOT zippered, but completely dunk-proof for both cameras and electronics, and if you get something sized for a larger cell, those will definitely work for the Auvi's.

I'm pretty sure that you can find velcro-fastening dry-bags in multiple sizes at someplace like a Dick's.

Lululemon has pockets (for fuel gels) in their running shorts and crops that are perfectly sized for Allerjects/Auvi-Q's.  That's how I carry mine around almost all the time when running and working out (daily).  They can get in the way for hand release push ups (because hips are constantly hitting the ground), but I just take them out, give them to my personal trainer to hold, and put them back right away.  I've turned faithful to their company for this feature alone - it's worth it to me because it's just so easy and convenient.  The men's running shorts have similar pockets in the waistband, just make sure you get a style with two pockets (some only have one).  You really do get used to them being there and they aren't bothersome after a few days.  (When not wearing Lululemon bottoms, I wear two EpiPens in a SPIbelt because I haven't found a better option for carrying the Allerjects, sadly.)

Otherwise, the Flipbelt looks promising if his waist is within their size range, and it can be moved around and out of the way so it won't be bothersome when doing any particular activity.  It should hold two Allerjects and a phone.  I haven't found any other phone case/accessory that will hold two Allerjects.  (Well, besides an old flip phone case that clips onto your belt loop, but that's no different than a KozyEpi duo Allerject case.)

As for arm band carriers, if he is carrying TWO Allerjects/Auvi-Qs, I'm not really sure what options exist unless his arms are huge.  Two injectors are quite bulky.  SPIbelt makes an armband pouch similar to their waist pouches, but may be too bouncy with two injectors.  (I have the same problem with Allerjects and SPIbelts.) You may be able to ask the team at KozyEpi to make a Duo Allerject case with an adjustable or elastic band on the back for around his arm.  (Or get a Duo case and do some DIY sewing at home or a tailor shop to add an arm band.)

For water activities, I find little clear waterproof bags (for electronics) from sporting goods stores work incredibly well for places with high humidity and accidental water exposure like beside the pool or on the beach.  We have an Aquapac case and a Pelican Box for activities where the injectors will be submerged or at risk of falling in the water (i.e. boating, kayaking, snorkelling).  Both are from MEC, our major sporting goods store - try REI in America.

My dd does not wear her epis for sports but has them nearby.  She does *not* do cross country, only track and soccer, and basketball, so her personal items are by the side of the field or court.  So, no special carrier.  Sorry, not helpful.  But yes, there have been threads on this very topic.  Maybe by momtoaandd?  Her son does cross country.

Can I buy neoprene somewhere like a fabric store?  (Ha -- guess I could cannibalize that wet suit of mine that is too small and will never fit me again) . . .

Of everything there, for DS's needs and wants, the Phillips Compression sleeve might be best for running.

ETA -- OOOH!  Even better:  NXE ActiveSleeve!

Might have to just get one to try and see if 2 AuviQs will fit . . . looks so slim so far as the pocket for phone that I don't think I'll get 2 inside?  And if for iPhone, would only hold the phone if the Otter case is removed . . .


But, heck.  Now I'm seeing a couple of other products that would work for *me* to have iPHone on me when I'm way out in the garden.
