[Closed] Cycle shorts (baggies) with NO pockets - grrr and why???

I never have anything in my trouser pockets while riding. Nowt worse than having a fall on a multi-tool in a pocket.....

I can think of some things worse..

Why would you want a mutiltool banging your leg every pedal stroke? Keys, as long as it is one key i can see a pocket can be helpful.

And do you really need a multi-tool? I would have thought a puncture is more an issue, so that means pump, spare tube etc. Even with tubeless it does happen. So how do you carry a tube and pump?

i always ride with my phone in my pocket! dakine shorts have nice pockets or regular casual baggies 🙂

Someone should make a small bag, into which useful stuff can be place, which can be strapped somewhere unobtrusive on the bike. Under the saddle might work.

I prefer not to have things to fall on in my pockets, plus in baggies anything with a bit of mass will tend to swing back and fourth in a rather pendulous way while your pedalling… like you I don’t like wearing a rucksack if I don’t really have to…

Have you considered a Seat pack and/or small frame bag for tools/spares when riding?
That way your ability to carry stuff isn’t totally dependant on your outfit…

Well if I am feeling brave I do only go out with keys (front door and garage), trails on my door step so never that far from home. I do however normally chuck in my pocket a set of stick on patches and my CO2 pump and a small multi tool and a mobile phone in the other pocket.

The banging against my leg doesn't really bother me that much.

Nothing hard goes into my pockets when I'm MTBing, I learnt that after landing on a pocketed multi-tool during a crash. My nose appears to run continuously while I'm outside so I like pockets for hankies though. When I'm commuting pockets are full of things like keys. I don't think I'd go for a pocketless pair of shorts.

good price

Can't run a seat bag as I have a dropper, might get a small frame bag, not sure which one though if anyone can recommend....

I have a seat bag on a dropper.

You can also get those bottle-shaped tool holders which fit in a standard bottle cage.

They were on offer so originally expensive.

Which one?

The 2 I have seem to attach around the post to stop moving.

Bum bag?
or
water bottle, with your multi tool, etc in ?

so.. what size are these shorts and how much are you selling them for..?

I use a small Specialized one - fitted on a Gravity Dropper. The strap doesn't interfere with the post at all.

Falling off with my house keys in my pocket ripped a nice little hole in my favourite shorts 😥

you shud have looked at the design of them b4 you bought them _that makes sense (most tinternet clothing now has the 'zoom in' option to look closely at what your buying 😉

pocket are for tissues, maps and cereal bars.

Endura shorts with good velcro fastening for me.....perfect for ipod on commute, money for train (normally a £5note but £coins dont rattle), train ticket and fob for shutter at work. It just makes it easier than unzipping jacket pockets (which isnt too difficult) or rooting in ruc-sac. Small saddle bag for weekend rides cross country, empty pockets

I'd have thought you'd have more reason to complain about a t-shirt for riding which doesn't have any pockets.

Thats interesting as I have the same bag on my road bike so will have another look.

So do you use the seat post strap around the top of the gravity dropper (same dropper as I have) - Does the rubber boot not ger in the way?
or do you just use the seat rail straps??

(pic might help :-))

The Topeak saddle pack on my commuter only attaches to the saddle. It's not a huge one but I can get tyre levers, multi-tool and a tube into it.

Endura Humvee shorts!!

Vents/pockets/map pockets galore!! 45 notes, but do come with an inner short(clickfast) too!

I haven't used anything else for years!

Cheap Karrimor bumbag from Donnay or Sports direct. I got one for £5. Tube, patches, CO2 pump, cash, card, keys and phone all fit no problem. 🙂
