People who wear track suits - where do you keep your stuff

At track with leather suit, there's an inside breast-pocket I use for those.
For street, I use textile suit with pockets. I keep wallet in left hip pocket. Phone in right hip pocket.


Same as when I'm wearing shorts or pants. Keeps the search confusion to minimum, especially as I'm approaching geezerdom...

Sigh, geezerdom. :afm199 I quickly got confused with the many Aerostich pockets so I now limit myself to using only two: right wrist and right breast pockets. From time to time I find old stinky "stuff" in the other pockets :laughing

I don't wear my leathers on the street unless all I'm gonna be doing is riding, it's so not convenient wearing leathers.

I put my phone in the breast pocket and then I will fish it out later and it'll have sweat all over it.

It is so miserable wearing leathers in 100+ weather also.

Do yourself a favor and get a textile gear or mesh when it's really hot. But there's no denying leathers look cool! =P

I agree but the older I get the more protection I want.

Yes, I'm talking specifically about wearing a track suit with no pockets for riding on the street.



Any specific recs?

Tank bags interfere with my chest/arm movement on spirited rides - need to keep that area clear.

I did try a tail bag, but I can't see a system where the straps would get tight enough not to flop around and I did not trust it not to throw weight around too much on corners.

How about a small, low profile tank bag? I'm sure there are some out there that wouldn't get in your way.

You might as well wear that track suit John posted. The protection is about the same.
 
Yeah if you're going that far you may as well just commit to the fanny pack.

My bike has ZERO storage and I dislike strapping things to it so I just put my phone and wallet in my inner chest pocket. If you've got a super fat wallet you can get a backup or a business card holder to slim it down. My buddy swear by the fanny pack.
 
I just always called them “leathers”… and yeah, I use a fanny pack.
 
i use one of those passport pouches (DL, CC, $, house key, phone - fits against my chest under my leathers). come to think of it - could probably fit all that in my sport bra lol.
 
I use a fanny pack to hold my phone and wallet it stays out of the way and I hardly even notice it.
