A common problem with many hip packs is that the waist strap constantly comes loose like on the Palos for example. I bought a couple sliders which helps a lot but even then the waist belt loosens during a ride. And you still don't want too much weight in one either as they can bounce. Really a good road jersey with three back pockets works better especially if you have one bottle on the frame, tube, tool and CO2 under the saddle. Extra bottle in the middle pocket and you're gold.
