These weren't announced as 'back in stock', but I just found them on the website. I got one from the first batch and find it very useful. Belt loops on the back to make it a very nice hip pack for carrying the core essentials. 



*disclaimer - if this post goes up after the bags sell out it's because I'm still a newb and my content gets reviewed before.

I'll second the usefulness of these little bags, I take mine with my daily and love having my small items contained in one location.

10/10 recommend, congrats to those who got one before they sold out, and when they come back I highly recommend picking one up.

Can also recommend - since the Elf Pouch is out of stock again - the FlatSack. I don't actually use mine on the bike (it would fit in my Medium SaddleSack); I'm a transit bus driver and put paperwork, hole punch, Cliff Bar and my car key in it. Super handy!

I’ve been waiting for these to come back but stupidly wasn’t signed up for the back on stock notifications (I am now!) and missed this last restock. They look super duper handy!

As a suggestion for something to hold you over until the RIV MOUNTAIN WORKS ELF pouches return to being in stock again, I found a couple of pen and pencil holders for school supplies from Walmart that work real well, both for a tool pouch and another holding small items, like a tire tube, cell phone, snacks, etc.

Tom Bihn is a great source for Made in the USA pouches and organizers: https://www.tombihn.com/collections/all-organizational-bags

I have a few of their bags and pouches. Made in Seattle. 

I also give a +1 to Igor's recommendation to order the RMW pouch straight from RMW.

I managed to snag one of these a few months back when Rivendell posted them. Since then, I've used it to carry my little Vortex birding binoculars and they fit perfectly with room for a few other small odds and ends. A John's Strap works great instead of fishing it through your belt if you want to be able to just grab it and go.

Thanks for the recommendation of Tom Bihn, Eric! I’ve been looking for a moderately sized hip pouch to carry a phone, camera, book, wallet, etc. and their “Bummer” bag looks nearly perfect! Great prices too.

I think the chrome cardiel shank was the best cycling hip/fanny pack to come out. Unfortunately its out of production, fortunately I have 2. It doesnt quite hit the Riv aesthetic but its truly a fantastic bag. I use it daily on and off the bike.

I have a rust Colored pouch I'd like to sell. I got it and realized I do not have a good use for it. $40 plus shipping if needed, which is what I paid minus tax and shipping. I am in SF.
