Hip bags

Does anyone own one? With the warmer weather, I like to ride without a bag on my back, but I still need to carry some things. I have found several online, but I am being indecisive. Bonus if it comes with a regular (not quick release plastic clip kind) belt.

I've used this one for a couple of years. Good capacity, couple of pockets plus the main storage area, and the elastic mesh on each side is deep enough to hold water bottles or suchlike.


Does have a plastic quick release-ish belt catch, though.

i've gotten all my hip bag, utility belt-type stuff from army navy places. the ER in lawrenceville has an upstairs room loaded with all kinds of pouches and bags and satchels and what-have-you.

Actually, Road Runner Bags have some pretty cool utility pouches that go on your belt. I've got something similar and use it to hold my u-lock and essential tools. Chrome and other bag companies have some similar stuff too.

I have one you can have. I used to carry one all the time now I don't carry one at all and I have two. This threads reminds me of how useful they can be as opposed to a whole bag so I should probably keep one.
