bum bags

[Asposium]

there was a thread on bum bags recently, done a search, can't find it. Grrr

looking at the use of a bum bag for delicates (phone, camera, satellite tracker etc) and valuables (wallet, passport, tickets, keys etc)

if someone can find the original thread it would be appreciated.

that aside, any views on this as a concept....

don't need the ability to carry water bottles

I use a bumbag for those things too (and bog roll!) nothing fancy though, just a cheap small one. I just put things in zip locks in the bumbag for waterproofing.

The ortlieb ones Mike and scattamah have are mint but very expensive at the moment can't find one for less than £65 ,think I'll replace my worn out batpack with the newer version they are £ 40 for the newest version with 2 750ml water bottles

hmmm

the roll top looks a faff to get in when worn.
not so bothered about rain, thinking put under coat when raining.

I've had no problems with the roll-top.

Does look quite a stable design.

The waterproof Lomo one is good. Obviously, it's fairly basic but it is completely waterproof and fairly stable. Very hard to find any fault especially at a tenner.

could this help both bumbag + water carrying issues: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Camelbak-Flash ... =srch&th=1

and el cheapo ortlieb: https://www.sportsdirect.com/ortlieb#dc ... ccessories

It's worth adding that the external "floating" pocket on the Ortlieb is the perfect size for a Spot Tracker.

I've got the Lowe Alpine one and I like it. It's got a zip compartment on the outside for wallet/keys and also a separate zipped section inside. I use that to store my paper back-up map printouts, it's out of the way but also flat so they don't get creased. It's not completely waterproof but I doesn't fill up with water either.

I had an issue with the straps slipping over time as I rode along, maybe I don't have the belt done up tight enough. I solved that with some extra tri-glide buckles, scroll to the pic of mine for details

I've still got the spares if you get a one and want to add the extra buckles.

The raidlight bag is one of these

I've got one each side. I can get a snack out of my feed pouch on the handlebars, eat it and then stash the rubbish in the one on the belt, all without stopping. When I pass a bin its simply a matter of emptying out the rubbish bag. Before, when I used to put the wrappers back in the feed pouch occasionally when I got a snack out an old wrapper would escape, which I'd then have to chase round in the wind to pick up
