The Radavist

In the 17th century, pockets were standalone accessories. So, Travis’s Evoc Race Belt review is technically retro.

Launching today, the Hobgob Hip Pack expands the lineup of London-based bag-makers Wizard Works‘ collection of wearables for both on and off the bike. With multiple clever features – including a side-loaded Fidlock Hook buckle, two zippered pockets, wide hip wings, and an optional bottle pocket in both stock and custom configurations – this pack is sure to be popular. Josh and John participated in the prototyping phase of the Hobgob and, below, offer a detailed look and review of the new pack.

For $99, Race Face’s 3L Stash hip pack is designed to be a do-it-all trail pack, keeping weight off your back and around your hips where it will be more stable. This offers up plenty of space for riding necessities as well as a 1.5L water bladder. The stretch belt keeps the pack secure without causing discomfort and the entire pack is built using waterproof zippers. Check out more at Race Face.
