Okay, not the most attractive bag around (though looks like they have different colors), but since I haven't seen something similar, and some of you [well us] have too much portable gear, check out the Hip Hugger as a possible bag. Kinda cool.

Can be ordered here.

Oops. Mods I meant to post this in the portable forum. That's the problem with two open windows.

Anyway feel free to move.

I'm 22, I think I might have to age 20 or so years before I could look semi-non ridiculous with that. (And this is coming from a guy who regularily wears a fedora)

That's just slightly less sad than fanny pack, slightly...

Neat, but why not just latch directly onto the belt? I mean, even though it's not fashion conscious, using loops to hang off of a double thickness belt works and looks much better than the fanny pack style mount.

And the dinky thigh loop? Might as well go all out with the tactical thigh rig look and have a beefier strap with more secure mounting. The current one looks like it'd eventually slide up your pant leg and cause significant discomfort.

Strangely I've been looking for a bag for my DSLR. There arent too many hip / waist bag variants. So far I havn't been too successful with that. Of course this would be too small for that but it looks aweful in the first pic

I think the later pics you showed are ok. I just don't like something accross my chest in the summer.

Man, thank goodness for convergence devices.

The brown one they should call that the I'm-Never-Getting-Laid-Again-Hugger. Especially when it's paired with DAD jeans and ever oh so sheik print button up like that.

With a military casual look like the second set of pics, the black ain't half bad. One could flaunt the cooler than thou urban technophile vibe. "You do Wi-Fi don't you?"

Would they match my suspenders? Would I wear them inside or outside of the suspenders? Do they come in a regular guy size or only kids sizes as shown above? My wife says it would look good with my plastic pocket-protector.

. Not quite as readily accessible as a vest or pouch, but good nonetheless.

Actually, this "Sling bag" looks like a good idea.
