Bum Bag recommendations

[Jasper151]

Does anyone ride with a bum bag that will carry a water bottle (I have a 500ml thermos type bottle)? Looking for recommendations as I am suffering hugely with hayfever which affects my throat only so need to keep drinking. I'd rather a bum bag than a saddle bag for ease as I ride a few horses.

Never thought I would be asking for bum bag recommendations for a bum bag!

I used these for rides

There are some good products used by the endurance riders but they tend to attach things to the saddle rather than on themselves. I always worry about having things on me if I have a fall and I certainly wouldn’t want to land on a metal bottle. There was an incident with a Trec rider recently who landed on her orienteering compass and ended up in A&E with badly damaged ribs so maybe a bottle holder that attaches to the D ring might be better.

And clearly I like saying Bum bag after re-reading my post!

I hadn't thought about falling off - it is a very valid point and something to consider. Attaching to saddle does seem to be a better idea in hindsight.

I use a bumbag but use a water bottle that attaches to the saddle. If I'm doing a longer ride, I'll use saddle bags too to hold food etc.

My bum bag is a running one - I think it is Karrimor but will double check for you!

What about one of those things runners have, they go on your back to hold water.

Personally I would be wary of you carrying it in case you land on it in a fall,

what about something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164071150940?hash=item263367155c:g:6ucAAOSwTpZePT9P. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293955184557?var=592660352745&hash=item44711827ad:g:47IAAOSwh1pgADZh

I use just a very cheap bottle carrier from eBay. Clips onto the saddle or yourself (I prefer mine to be on the saddle), cheap too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383161692208?var=651714503610&hash=item5936377030:g:ByAAAOSwUqVb1mYS
