This time around, the two have stuck to their functional and utilitarian roots by allowing cyclists, hikers, and all-around adventurers to keep their personal belongings protected.

The phone pocket collaboration is packed full of features. A water-resistant leather exterior and YKK Aquaguard zipper assures your belongings safety during wet conditions and a special bumper keeps your pocket in place under gritty or rough rides. They even threw in an advanced microfiber lining to keep your phone screen separate and protected from your other personals during travel.

The Bellroy X MAAP phone pocket comes in either a Regular and Plus model, with arctic blue or black as your color choices. Although it is water-resistant, this pocket wasn’t designed to be fully submerged underwater.

onX and Toyota join forces for nationwide trail cleanup and revival project
Our national public lands are under unprecedented threat. Now you can chip in to do something about it.
Three men clearing a trail with the onX/Toyota Trail Revival Project.

Our public lands face unprecedented threats right now. Massive funding cuts have fueled staff shortages at every National Park Service, and the trails and backcountry roads of every NPS unit are suffering. Thankfully, onX joined forces with Toyota to do something about it via a nationwide trail cleanup and revival project.

Beginning next month and throughout the summer, the two brands are rallying local communities to work together at five (for now) events in California, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The goal is to address some of the biggest threats to our favorite outdoor spaces, namely the loss of access to trails due to overuse, deterioration, and under-resourced land management organizations. onX and Toyota will provide the resources, including trucks, safety gear, clean-up equipment (think chainsaws), and whatever other tools volunteers might need to clear out trail debris and trash. Volunteers will bring the brawn to get it all done.
