    Best peak/shelf bag for use via grab handle?

    Did a search and mostly got references to the built in stuff on the Sparrow. I recall there being 2-3 vendors with good peak bags that clip onto the grab handle. I love my Clark NX270 but the two upper 'pockets' are useless. The six huge ones under you are fine, the upper two hold nothing and dump what does semi-fit on your head.

    Looking for a good one for normal headlamp, glasses, phone, etc. I don't use a ridgeline in the Clark. Thanks!

    I'm sure there's a better option out there somewhere than this, but what I would probably do is use an Osprey dry bag attached to that handle by means of a biner. I've played around with it a bit in my hammock, and it's worked pretty decently. A little more fiddly than an actual peak bag though.

    I'm not concerned. Good quality is worth it. I'm already dreading the incubator/burrow wait then the sparrow wait. I just know when they get here I will be doing a big snoopy dance!
