Sporrans SHOULD be able to hold?

[O'Neille]

I usually only carry my iphone, wallet and keys. Here's the exception

I keep my nylon Cargo sporran kit for my day hikes in Arizona. I'd say that my kit works for urban even though it is designed for my desert setting with the possibility of fifty degree (27C) temperature swings. Poisonous reptiles, and everything has thorns.

Everything is loaded in this pic and there's still plenty of room.

No bug spray because it's winter. I always have sunscreen and water in my hydration pack

I've been gardening in my Buzz Kidder canvas kilt lately. I have exchanged a sporran for a tool apron. I also work with ceramics and use the same kilt and aprons there. I have a full apron and a waist apron with multiple pockets: both canvas.

Here is a link to the thread where I have been documenting it.

I'm now considering upgrading to one of these:

I have to tell you, a sporran can and should hold only so much. Packing everything into one bag can result in an overstretched, way too heavy bag bouncing up and down right on your...uh..."frontal region".

Better you should just get a belt pouch to take up some of the weight...they don't look that bad...in fact I doubt that anyone even notices one when the leather colors match.
