Beacon in chest pocket vs thigh pocket?
I got some new touring bibs this season after several years using Flylow Baker bibs for both inbounds/touring. The new bibs have the beacon pocket on the thigh rather than the chest, and it drives me nuts. I feel like it interferes with my stride and just isn’t natural to grab down there. Not to mention the proximity to my phone (other side thigh pocket) is much closer and could result in interference. I’ve been looking at getting different touring bibs, but it seems like most bibs these days have a thigh beacon pocket instead of chest. Is there reason for this? Does anyone prefer the thigh over chest? Am I just turning into a grumpy old man yelling at clouds? PFA
