Still on my montane batpack and OMM waist pouch

Use them for local rides. Tools, spare tube, emergency gel and basic FAK in there, plus keys and phone. Former will take a big hip flask and an insulated gilet too!

Mainly used the batpack but switched to the latter last night as it was only a shortish loop with the dog (though don't usually bother with anything or the normal dog walk/ride)

The Inov-8 one has been ace. It did its duty on the HT550 and is still going strong. Best thing about it is it's dead light and if it's not got much in, you don't notice it's there. Equally, when full it doesn't seem that obtrusive. Not being waterproof is it's only drawback, but it's not been an issue really as water sensitive things go elsewhere.

Still loving my Ortlieb, though I revert to a larger pack during the winter as I tend to carry a little more.

Other than the lime green looking a bit more grubby, it could pass as new. Ortlieb stuff might not be lightweight buty by god it's robust!
