Waist Packs and Bum Bags
Getting all your important gear in a bum bag or waist bag rather than a using a bulky rucksack can really improve comfort. So many mountain bikers have switched from rucksack to bum bag because getting the weight away from your back feels great and cures the sweaty back issues you’ll always get with a rucksack. Great brands like Helly Hansen, Filson and Dakine all have excellent offerings with no-compromise tough fabrics and cleverly designed storage compartments. It might be a little scary at first but keeping all your important stuff safe, in one place makes a lot of sense.
