I want a map case like the ones I use when trail riding at Freerein. They are large, clear plastic both sides, adjustable strap - but the important bit is - they also come with an adjustable belt so you can stop it flapping when doing faster paces.

I want one for use at home - but although can find lots of map cases none of them have the belt - which is a must as Molly freaks out at flapping on board!!

If anyone knows what I mean please tell me where you can get them :o

Do they really? I had no idea - the saddle bags especially look very pro! Graham and Matt must be really good with a needle and thread! :D

You're not doomed.

Try shopping for a map case (try Blacks or other similar outdoor type shop), then look for a suitable belt - elastic would be best but isn't essential.

In an extreme case, a piece of baler twine would work just as well!

Blacks do 2 types, I have both, they work quite well:)

Riff Raff also do a bumbag with a map case on the front.

Hi all, how about these ideas for map cases. Mainly for motobike riders i think but counld be adapted to fit onto the pommell area or maybe with clips onto the front of the numnah.

I have the cashel trail kit, which is a set of small pockets that sit in front of the saddle, and a map case that clips on top. The map is then in an ideal position to be referred to.
