I use the Ogio 450 tool pack. The first one lasted almost 2 years before the bag expanding strap broke. Was an easy fix and still using the pack after 3 years. The whoops out in the desert destroy stuff. I would love to be able to ride without one but with the family all riding I would rather have tools when needed than not.
Fender bags do lot last out here.

These bad boys aren't cheap, or small.. I have had mine perhaps 5 years now? I have one part where the seams pulling on the front from carrying a screw driver in it. Never washed, never dried, never maintained. I wear it every ride with several kgs of tools in it. Mud, rain, everything.
I'm happy to take a pic of the state of it and confirm when I bought it if you like.

I have a Kelly's tool pack. 100% leather.
By FAR the best tool pouch I have ever owned. I don't even know it's back there.

I hate carrying tools on my person. I worry about falling on them & the extra weight every time I have to drag my tired arse out of the seat & stand up after a sit down area.
its a pity GG never took the opportunity to use the spare space on the LHS of the airbox-sidecover to make a moulding area for a tool roll. Everyone wants to carry some tools.
I've improvised under the seat, but its not enough.

I've had great luck with the klim unit. I had a tendency to carry too much stuff with the flight vest and it bothered my shoulders and back

I have the kriega r3 and it has lasted really well. Well thought out and waterproof
The leatt one also seems pretty good with a kidney belt type of belt that looks really comfy and won't slide around
I have also made an under seat tool bag to reduce the weight around my waist

Hahah I'm a knob. Forgot to link it or tell you what it was!!
Luckily gasgasmans post showed what I have! Kelly Enduro! mine doesn't look as fresh as those new ones!
I had seen a tool bag somewhere once that fitted on the front forks and had a number plate on the front for day riding.
Maybe Kelly could knock someting up to strap on the forks?

I can't stand them...have a very small one I will use for trials events but for enduro / trail riding I just love how my Zac Speed chest protector / back pack combo works. I can carry more tools than I would in a fanny pack plus have a quality 100oz water bladder and a decent chest protector all in one that with the way it straps on you balance the weight on you so no pulling on the back and shoulders like a back pack would. They make 2 sizes, I run the smaller size and have no problem carrying the basic tools I need. If you want room to stuff a rain cover or spare tube then go with the larger one. I also have the flight vest mentioned above and it works but stupid hot once it warms up.

Very nice stuff Boom Boom www.zacspeed.com I like the Recon . It is my wifes birthday today maybe I should buy her the Recon pack ? $309.95 seems a little steep even for a nice birthday gift ! That does include the new shoulder pads , I am sure she would want those to

I have no headlight so I run a bag on the number plate. Don't notice the weight on the front. Then fanny pack is lighter.
90% of my riding is enduro racing, in order to get anything out of a back pack I would be removing my gloves, helmet, neck brace, and chest protector. At many checkpoints, tired as hell, no way I would want to deal with that. You are always having to inch forward as the earlier rows leave, etc. I keep my hydro-gels, pain pills, snuff, KTM multi tool, Co2 a few Zip ties, a tiny screwdriver for clicker adjustments (put a piece of rubber hose over the tip for safety), maybe a set of glove liners or an extra tinted goggle lens for when the sun comes out.
For this I use a $7-$15 fanny pack that you can find at any Walmart, Academy, etc. They work perfectly and I have a small size and a little bigger size depending on the event. Been using the same one for several seasons, I think I paid $6.99 for it. I keep the bag in front of me, that way it kinds of rests on the tank and doesn't get in the way of anything. I can grab anything i need out of it very quickly.
Going cheap is just an idea...the Kelly Enduro bum pack pictured earlier is $160....lol I'm out!
Long distance exploration with more tools would be a different story but this setup works for racing and woods practice.

Not Moto specific but I have been wondering about these. Should be pretty rugged if marketed for the military crowd.
