jacuerro Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I am slowly planning on my trial riding gear. Now, one thing I've noticed is that there is not much storage provided in most of the riding apparel (pants/ jerseys). I am used to having plethora of pockets in my ADV riding jacket I don't plan to carry a lot of stuff with me, but some essentials ( phone / wallet / car keys ). How do you carry stuff like this while trial riding? Bum bags ( waist packs / fanny packs ), back packs? Which of those do you find convenient?

trapezeartist Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Personally, I don't carry anything apart from my car key (in the one and only pocket of my trials trousers). I don't fancy falling on my phone or tools, and I wouldn't use them during a trial anyway. Water is about the only thing I feel a need to carry. So far I've relied on stopping off at the car between laps, but I might get a camelbak for next summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technowaldo Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Don’t carry anything leave everything in the car then hide the car key that way you can’t drop it and lose it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Depends, at a normal trial, nothing I just leave my car keys on top of one of the tyres or something and just pop back to stuff my face with chocolate and milkshakes. If I'm on a trial that has road work then I have an Acerbis (I think) enduro bum bag that has space for essential tools, spare spark plug, etc. If I'm just riding from home out into the woods to muck about for a couple of hours then I take a mini backpack that was made for a camelback, it fits two half-litre bottles of water, a pack of tissues, my phone, and my house keys, but nothing else.

pschrauber Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Depends what I wear, during a competition I only take with me the car keys and leave all other stuff inside the car. The key comes into the pants pockets if I wear normal pants. When I wear the elastic pants the key comes inside the jacket pockets. When it is very hot I put the key inside the piggy pack. When doing training at my training ground I don't lock anything when I ride at our trials competitions in my region I leave the key at the car or the trailer unvisible to a view.

jonnyc21 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I seem to be able to put what I need in my camelbak... good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpauls Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Why not get a pair of panniers and a top box a la BMW. You could then put all your stuff in them and carry it all around the sections. Don't understand why we don't see more of this sort of thing.

Ftwelder Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I carry a phone in my camelback while trail riding. I tipped over today and my boot went between the tire and swing arm and the bike pinned me down. One of my riding buddies was there to help me out but I was glad I had options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacuerro Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Thanks for all your comments. Some of the trousers I've seen (both trials and MX) don't have any pockets. Hence my question. Some of them have very small and tight one close to the body, and I am not sure about putting a key in there ( my car hey isn't one of thos collapsible ones ). I am guessing it may pose some risk in case of unfotunate fall down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic zip tie to the handlebars and tuck it under the bar pad 🙂 Edited November 8, 2021 by suzuki250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
