Right ok,i suspect i will get ridiculed(again) for asking this 😯

I do wear them and have done for many years,either ot trips abroad or on cycling excursions.i find them exceptionally useful and purposeful.

does anyone else wear them?,i am looking for a larger size to fit enough in without having to use my camelback all the time..

thank you.

I've been using an ancient Karrimor 5L bag(I think) recently. It's certainly nice not to have the sweaty back syndrome.

Osprey Talon 8 if you plan on carrying bottles in it or Lowe Alpine Peak/Mesa Runners, have a fair bit of space.
I like to use one when walking as well as on the bike

Bum bags and cowboy boots all in the same day...I do worry that I should choose 'cooler' hobbies.

Ive got an inov8 bumbag that can hold a bladder. Really good one, waterproof pocket on the left sise and a mesh pocket on the right, zipped. Main compartment sepatated from bladder and easily holds jacket, tools, sarnie etc.

I use it for quick after work rides and such.

Don't panic just yet, cowboy boots was yesterday so it's only one a day at the moment, not that bad 😉

Just bought a Lowe Alpine jobbie, not sure how I previously survived without it.

Cheapo ones from Decathlon are very effective if you are not too bothered about loads of compartments but do be careful. I fell off backwards and landed on the pump in my bum bag and had back trouble for a couple of months afterwards

I've been using an ancient Karrimor 5L bag

I've got one of those that holds 2 bottles and it's great for anything but longer rides. I use a wingnut then which again beats a normal pack for me.

can you buy them from UK suppliers or do you have to order direct from Jandd?

Direct from jandd, but it was a very painless experience, took about 1.5 weeks for delivery

The Medium and Large fannies have enough features to border on high-tech.

The Large fannies have same features as the medium fannies, except it comes with padded cambrelle side pockets.

Jandd's site is ace ) I was looking for a clip-on bum bag to use as a bar bag for bike trips and it now has to be a Jandd, simply for immature humour value.
