I'm tired of shoving my skins down my bibs, trying to cram them into my pant's pockets, or taking my pack on and off constantly. I would like to find some kind of chest pack for stashing kicker skins, full length skins, some kick waxing stuff, and other accessories. Has anyone found anything that works well for this?

Would like to find something very lightweight so I'm not weighing myself down any further on overnight or multi-day trips. Everything I've see is some kind of "tactical" thing that's too heavy or it's made by an ultralight backpacking company for your snacks and sunscreen and probably a bit too small for big full length skins.
I made a small pouch out of leather for my cell phone that I hang from my sternum straps. I use my phone to take pictures, navigate, and sometimes to listen to music when I'm out skiing, hiking, running, biking, etc. It is smaller than what you're talking about but the same concept. Made it from some nubuck I had lying around from an old motorcycle jacket.

I think I found something that will work. Mountain Hardwear makes a big fanny pack. If you tighten the webbing so that the buckle is off to the side, should work well with packs. The webbing is a bit thin on this. Might have someone sew thicker webbing on.

fits big skins, kicker skins, kick wax, a cork, and a scraper.
