Waist packs for cyclists

If you like to ride your bike sometimes and carry a few accessories like a phone, wallet, first aid kit, flashlight, and you don't necessarily want to carry that in your backpack, then this category is for you.

A bicycle pouch is a very useful accessory. If you don't like to ride with a load on your back and don't have a bicycle pannier either, then such a pouch will be a good choice for you. It is a very popular accessory among people who like to have everything at hand and don't necessarily want to clog their pockets or walk around with a backpack. It's also ideal for adding space to your gear. If you're going on a longer hike, it's a good idea to have an extra place to stow the most necessary things, so that you don't have to pull your backpack down every time you want to take something out of it. A kidney in this case allows you to carry, for example, energy bars, phone, first aid kit, compass or map.

In connection with the above information, you should also consider buying a bicycle kidney. You can "wear" it in two ways. The first method is to traditionally attach it to your belt. However, you will not hold it in front or on the side, as riding will become uncomfortable. The best solution is to keep it on your back, in the lumbar region.

The second way you can carry a bike pouch or kidney is by strapping it to your bike frame. That's why it's such a popular accessory - versatility of use. You ride your bike - you clip the kidney to the frame. You get down to walk - you put it on traditionally to your hip.

What should you pay attention to when choosing the right bicycle kidney? First of all - the size. Capacity is important in terms of the amount of accessories you carry. The more things you need to carry with you, the larger the kidney should be to accommodate it all. On the other hand - a smaller model forces you to carry fewer items, which reduces the weight. Smaller models will certainly be chosen by people who care about better time on the road.

Along with the size of the bike kidney pouch goes the arrangement of additional compartments - if any. A larger kidney is a good choice if you want two compartments in which to carry various accessories. Such a solution allows you to organize yourself better. What's more, pay attention to built-in organizers, which definitely make it easier to carry small equipment like a card, lighter or compass.

Another important factor besides size is the material of the bike pouch or kidney. Cheaper models are usually made of polyester. In addition to the fact that they are usually quite inexpensive, light weight is also an advantage. Another material is Cordura. You will appreciate it if you like very durable accessories for years. This is because Cordura is a tear- and abrasion-resistant material that is also used in military backpacks. Such kidneys will be more expensive, but they will last longer and are a great choice for tough, densely wooded terrain. It is a material used in military and tactical clothing and accessories.

The bike pouch and kidney can have different styles depending on the manufacturer. Companies that are involved in the production of sports apparel and accessories like Poland's 4F or America's Under Armour offer kidneys with a sporty feel. They are usually made of good water-resistant polyester, are lightweight and come in solid colors like white, black, blue or orange.

However, in our offer you will find kidneys made by companies that manufacture tactical and military clothing and accessories. This will be, for example, Pentagon or Mil-tec. The material will be more tear-resistant and in typical military colors (black, green, blue) and moro.

Remember also, if you have the opportunity, to check if the bike kidney is right for you - both in terms of wearing comfort and the fit itself (size, length of the hip strap).

We hope that from the available offer on MILITARY.EU you will find a product that meets your requirements in terms of size, design and color. We invite you to take a look at the offer.
