Go-pack for supplies

I have no idea if most of you do this, but whenever I leave home I carry enough insulin and supplies for three days.

Supplies include not only the usual stuff, but also a couple tubes of glucose gel because I tend to get hypo most afternoons. That's because I'm too new at this to deviate from the dose my doctor told me to bolus before each meal and I tend to eat a very low carb diet. At least I've gotten quite good at noticing the symptoms of being hypo and testing right away.

Currently I'm using the pack that came with my Freestyle Lite meter. I like it because it has a belt-loop that's held closed at one end by Velcro. But it's far too small to comfortably carry everything I need, so my pens and gel always stick out of one end. More than a few times a pen or the gel have fallen out of the pack.

In looking on Amazon all I could find were packs that got terrible reviews from customers. And most all of them had some kind of cooler/freezer add-on that I really do not need.

So, can anyone recommend a go-pack that I can wear on my belt, that comes off easily, and can hold my meter, test strips, lancing device, a dozen or so needles and lancets, alcohol pads, two pens and two tubes of glucose gel inside the pack?
