CARGO BREECHES! As in, a pair of purpose-designed grippy-seats for X-C and trail riding, that have SERIOUS POCKETS you can actually PUT something in!

Today I was cramming into mine:

Cell phone.
Truck Keys.
ID
Lots of nibble-treats for training youngster self-loading on/off trailer.

Which, with those itsy-bitsy teensy-weensy pockets they make, made me look like that scene from Aliens where The Thang is making her belly all lumpy preparatory to it's busting out!

Tack and clothing companies, something PRACTICAL, PLEASE!!

You could always wear one of those oh-so-fashionable fanny pack things. Imagine the stuff you could cram into one of those

Won't work--they bang on the cantle. Worn around frontwise it gets in the way of your hands. And you want things like your phone on YOU, not the horse, in case you get, er--"separated." We also advocate all our trail association riders use luggage tags on the saddle dees, with horse's name, home barn, vet's #, and especially rider's cell number for the same reason; a quick reunion!

I would buy a pair of these in a heartbeat!

Kerrits has some 'cargo' breeches with pockets on the outsides of the thigh. I've found they hold plenty for what I need!

My husband's new tough rider patrol breeches have pockets front and back. Made me jealous.

I wear a fly-fisherman's vest on the trail, holds everything: the usual phone/wallet/keys/treats, but also maps, hoof pick, bandana, GPS, snack for me, lip balm, multi-tool, pen, etc.

I have a pair of cute fullseats with cargo pockets that I pulled out of a tent-sale bin. Sadly, they seem to fit a size smaller than the tag says (didn't have a place to try on and most 28 breeches fit) so no-go for me.

They would have been really handy too as I'm scared to ride without my cell and the last time I trail rode with one in my back pocket, it fell out on the trail! (Luckily, it wasn't a long ride and we did find it!)

Until you fall off and have bruises on you in the shape of cellphone, keys, etc.
(but I do carry a phone).

I always use a frontwise fanny pack when solo riding and have never had a problem with it being in way of my hands.

Not a full seat (I think they have a full seat in their fall collection coming up) but I love these:

Exactly. Want pockets? Buy men's.

I just may DO that! They're even relatively roomy, dare I say baggy. No one over 40 should shrink-wrap their ass anyway!

I also like the fly-fishing vest idea.

Ditto. But don't forget to swing it around to the back when dismounting from that oh so tall horse. OY!
