I used to have a northface fannypack that was handy when riding my
bike. I could carry my camera, a lens or two and my wallet. That bag
is gone, and I haven't been able to find something I really like to
replace it.
Anybody have suggestions?
i like the MountainSmith range of "lumbar packs"; these tend to
ride better and carry more weight comfortably, but you have to
master the suspension straps; great for hiking and biking with
smallish loads; no padding for cameras so i generally insert a
small padded SLR case, then stuff snacks and a rain coat around it
Pat's suggestion, the Kinetic model, is much smaller than the
models i have, the Tour and the Day; these also have better
suspensions; the Day is my preferred bag, with about 4x the space
of the Kinetic and comes with a nice shoulder strap for swinging
around the hips to access the bag; the Tour is halfway in
between, and less structured than the Day; it is better for quick
bike trips; on both models the waist strap also stows away
cleanly for more of a messenger bag style
there is a discontinued model which i also have, the Cairn, which
is even larger and more structured; i use that quite often on trips
