Okay, I'm tired of looking on the Internet. Does anybody know if there's such a thing as an extra/removable pocket that can be attached to a running vest or waist pack? I got something from Moosejaw, but it's not what I expected. I am looking for something that can be attached via velcro or with a strap.
Nathan products use to have an extra pocket, but I can't find it to purchase. I saw it on their web site again the other day, and now it's gone again.

Amphipod makes some of those that clip onto a belt or strap.

Funny you should bring this up... I've been planning a modification to my favorite hydration belt - a pouch that will hold packets of drink mix.
(I can cram them into the existing pockets - but, it's a time-consuming and frustrating task, and the packets have been know to rip for all of the origami required.)
Was imagining using some velcro to afix a nice, roomy-ish zipper pouch.
But, now you've got me thinking clip-on... I wonder if one of those dog treat pouches would work... (Hmm... probably too much bounce).

I have the one from Amphipod. I bought it when I thought I needed to carry a cell phone and ID with me on my short trail runs. They advertise no bounce, but it bounced when I clipped it to the outside back of my shorts. When I clipped it on the inside front, it didn't bounce as much, but I ended up getting a bruise on my leg from the slight banging. Maybe if I had on tighter shorts it would have been fine. Maybe the cell phone was just too heavy. It might work better on a vest. Good luck.
Thanks for all the info. It looks like the Amphipod pouches slip on like the one I got from Moosejaw. And looking at that web site today, the dang thing went on sale for $10 instead of the $16 I paid!! Figures . . .
Buzzie - I hadn't even thought of looking at something like a dog treat pouch. Hmmm . . . something to think about. And I have the same issue as you - I need the room for the powders packets of the drink mix I use, plus my inhaler, which takes up too much room in the two pockets of the Nathan vest.

What if you put the pouch on the side, instead of front or back? Any improvement? (Cause my water bottles bounce less when they're near the sides of me, it seems.)
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

You guys are the best! I obviously had no idea what the "target" words were to use when searching for this. I like this clip-on idea. Do you have one of these, HD?
I just saw one of those (clip-on inside pockets) in LRS for the first time this past weekend, and was tempted, but didn't bite that time.
Yes. It can hold decent amount of stuff, really. 5-7 gels. Doesn't move much that I recall - would be good to add to an existing belt.
