Thread: Waist Pack thoughts experience?

Hi All

Noticed on my last trip out, particularly when tired, my fleece piku which admittedly is always too full, started to feel a bit top heavy, had me stumbling around on a couple of occasions.
Now always keen to buy new gear when I can and often when I can’t afford, so wondering whether it’s retail therapy or a sensible solution to look at a waist pack type system. I think I’ll always carry a bit more gear than most so so far only the Hunter Element Divide Belt bag looks to have the capacity ( Badlands also have an option but can’t find a kiwi stockist)
Anyone using that or thoughts on waist bag vs day pack
Also looked at army surplus rigs but the fact that they are clip top pouches rather than zips puts me off despite being a lot cheaper.
Cheers
