New "hybrid" sporran strap....opinons?

[Tartan Hiker]

Thanks for the input.

Yes, it will adjust all the way up to contact with the belt. I was going for the "hand width below the belt" standard. When I loaded it up with my keys and cell phone it pulled it down a bit lower than I realized.

That's an innovative design, and I'm glad it works for you.

When I backpack I find that any belt at all is uncomfortable beneath the pack's hip belt. I could probably get away with a flat nylon webbing sporran strap for a more modern approach.

Granted that when I go a-rambling it's for more than a weekend hike, but I also find a low sporran to be uncomfortable. I've used a bum bag turned frontwards in the past, but on my next long hike I'll be using a pack with large pockets built into the hip belt, so I won't wear any pouch at all. On shorter hikes, and without a pack, I'll turn the sporran to the side so it rests against the side of my leg and doesn't bounce about.

Andrew.
