Waist Packs
Fanny packs (waist pouches) have long indicated that someone
may be a tourist. However, a fanny pack can be a great way to
avoid carrying a small back pack for day outings. A number of
our models will allow you to store your maps, documents,
perhaps even a snack. Packs worn on the outside can be
vulnerable to theft, rigging them through belt loops or
tucking straps under clothes may reduce this potential
problem, proving that fanny packs can be a useful travel
accessory. Waist pouches worn under the clothes may not carry
as many items, but can discreetly allow you to have your
documents with you.
For the casual hiker or biker, a waist pack stuffed into a
daypack or a bottle cage is sufficient. However, if the hike
goes for more than an hour or the bike ride is more than a few
miles, you'll need to start adding water bottles or an H2o
bladder. GearLabs offers several hip packs and backpacks
designed to carry 1 or 2 water bottles. Anything more,
however, and you'll want a hydration pack.
Hydration Packs - Developed for the mountain biker in need of a
hands-free way to drink water while dodging trees. Now,
athletes find them useful in almost every sport. Hydration
packs use a tube with a valve at the end so that a simple bend
of the neck and a bite introduces your mouth to the water it
craves. The first packs were simple, collapsible reservoirs
surrounded by neoprene and attached via shoulder straps.
Today's options are more stylish and comfortable and include
hip or backpack styles, 1 reservoir or 2 and streamlined or
robust, with extra room for lunch and gear. |
