Great pack.
Bought this as a replacement for my old, worn out hip pack. Very comfortable fitting, simple, and well thought out design. Has all the features you need in a slim, light package with ample room for necessities on long or short rides. Would definitely buy another when this one is done.

Compact and stable
Ideal for shorter rides, with less stuff. The two bottle holders are reasonably stable, what is also true for the whole pack, which sits firmly on the back even in the rougher terrain. The ventilation and comfort is as good as any other competitor I tried. The material is also firm and rigid, which helps with one-hand manipulation with the zippers. For me the only issue is very unfortunate placement for the internal clip for securing (I guess keys?), which always gets in the way when using the front zipper.

My new camera bag
Bought primarily to carry a mirrorless camera and tele zoom (just fits) or baby drone. Very comfortable with manual smart design touches. Didn't notice it after a few minutes. I can leave the messenger behind unless I need to carry more. I can see this being a very valuable pack.

Pockets hard to access
Almost perfect, but the main pocket is hard to access, especially when you leave it on and swing it around to the front of you. From this angle, looking down at the pack, it would be very nice to have a more U shaped pocket where the top would fully open for easier access. This is especially true with water bottles in the sides as it makes the pack very stiff. Also I wish tools and tubes could be kept in a separate pocket on the bottom half the pack. Maybe there is a different zipper to access those things. The need to constantly have access to a tube in the same place as an energy bar and trail map seems silly. Get that stuff you rarely use out of the way. Pack is extremely well made, fabric is amazing and feels like it could be passed down for generations. Foam on back is perfect and supportive.

Trail bag
To be fair it does what it’s designed for I just couldn’t get on with it. If I wore it lose it bounced about, tight I couldn’t breath. Might be ok for a quiet slow ride.

Tiny water bottles only
I bought for the bottle carrying capacity but they are so small that none of my many bottles fit. May never be used.

My new favourite small bag for riding/travelling
This has become my favourite small bag for riding/travelling. It can fit a surprising amount and the external drawcord is very handy for extras. It could be improved by making the bottom compartment slightly larger as it is currently barely fits more than a phone and is awkward to load if the other compartment is full. A padded or wider section on the strap would allow it to be a more versatile and comfortable as a cross body/bum bag. Overall a great bag.

A great pack!
I used this pack to bike pack the BC trail and it was my favourite bag on the trip. I really liked the two bottle holders as I could have a bottle in on and bear spray in the other. It was also quite comfortable and honestly never really noticed even wearing it for the 60+ hours of riding. Storage wise, there’s lots of space and having the two pockets was great! For mountain biking, I have no complaints! All in all, a comfortable, high quality pack!

Favourite bumbag I have used by far!
Only thing I would change is the waist strap as do think that could be much wider (like one of the other leading bumbag brands out there!) for stability of the bag when full and on rougher trails. But still fave bum bag I have used due to the large main compartment and space for 2 bottles. Sadly I can’t get bottles out while riding but they are my spares anyway as I have a holder on my bike too so not a big issue at all for me.

Good, could easily get better
This hip pack looks nice and practical. I would buy again but: the two side pockets for the bidons are 1) too tight and tiny and 2) instead of expanding sideways, they take sone space from the inside of the main compartment of the pack. I would like the pockets to be designed better. The elasticated stuff above the pack is a clever thing to have, for a vest ora waterproof.
Have a nice Winter holidays everyone.

Good product but a little hard to put in bottles
Great product. Bottles are a bit hard to put back in especially behind your back wearing gloves.
I used it for a hike with bidons and while it doesn’t move around much the bidons did drop out couple times when climbing over rocks.
If I could improve this, I’d add elastic restrainers to loop over the top when not using and instead loosen the straps in the middle to make it easier to insert bottles.

Really good, but it could be better.
I was between the Aevor Barbag and this one. I decided to go with this one, since I wanted something more MTB oriented, and the bottle holders on both sides were a big plus. It feels really sturdy, and it offers many options to storage your essentials, although there's not much more than that to say. For me it has the perfect size, but I can see how it might be a bit small for some riders. The pictures might lead you to think it is very big (especially the one with the fisheye), but it is actually a bit thin. It is not as flashy as other brands, which was one of the reasons why I went with this one, but when fully loaded and riding uphill it tends to build a lot of pressure on he lower belly, which can be very uncomfortable. I really missed some better padding on the front, which could have been avoided when designing this hip pack. That's the reason why I am giving it 4 and not 5 stars

A great alternative to the full back pack.
Great little pack. Well designed and well made thing with lots of hidden pockets. Pretty much carries everything that you might take in a bigger pack except for maybe a jacket. My only design query is when loaded up with water bottles it's hard to make it not slip down when you're off the bike. Much easier when on it. When riding nice to not have that weight on your back moving around your balance.

I don't gravel ride without one
Probably one the best cycling accessories item's I've purchased. Gravel Rides now I don't leave home without it, fits all my supplies + more, even a rain jacket!! The mickey taking from friends (fanny pack) is worth it lol.

Hip bag ok
Hip bag ok… Bought it in sale but would have been disappointed at full price. Pocket for phone and keys tight so could damage phone, found straps can shake loose and find bag around bum when you stand. Good points - feels good and comfortable when riding, washes / cleans well. Not tried it with water bottles as I think that would be too heavy to feel ok. Would like to fit OS map in bag.

First attempt needs some small tweaks.
Nice idea … flawed on some execution. The bungee cord at top is too long and the handle broke. Also main compartment can use some sleeve or partitioning to prevent phone from sloshing with tools.

Great edc bag or gravel hippack.
I don’t think I’d use this for mtb. I use it on my gravel and road bike or short trips but I don’t feel it’ll be secure the water bottles very well over chunky terrain. Makes an awesome edc bag which is what I primarily bought it for. Hiking with kids etc very comfortable. Biggest downside is the water bottle retention feels shallow and the bottles are difficult to get in.

Wouldn't do a long ride without it.
I wasn’t sure at first if I needed one or if I would like having a bag round my waist but I had no regrets when I took on the 500km route planned.
It’s perfect for storing food and any essentials. You can fit two extra bottles on the sides of it too.
Half way round the course I had to dry off items of clothing and the elastic's on top of the bag were perfect for that.

Awesome little hit bag
It's such a handy little day/hip bag. I've ridden for a while now with a camalpak, which is still great for those ultra long days on the bike in the sticks, but a hip pack is just far more comfortable and this one is brilliant. It's strong as hell and pretty comfortable! It also doubles as my dog walking bag (which lets be honest, I use it for way more!)

Perfect, no frills hip bag !
Has all the features you’d need in a hip bag. The cordage comes in clutch for storing a wind layer for quick access. Quick access for water bottles, and perfect amount of storage. Bring only what you need! I’ve used this for mtb, gravel riding and errands. And the bag itself wraps around you like the perfect hug from your partner 🥰

Perfect Hip Pack
I bought this hip pack for a trip to the forest and it was the perfect purchase. It is the right size as it fits perfectly in front of your belly. It is big enough that it fits 2 bottles and whatever it is needed for the walks. I found the top string perfect to keep my rain jacket with me without having to carry it by hand.

Very comfortable and practical hip pack.
Very comfortable and practical hip pack. It does not bounce around whilst riding in the road. The orange inner liner makes it easy to see what is inside the pack. So far, the only downside is that it is not possible to adjust the straps whilst riding. A small pocket for keys on the strap would be a nice addition.

Good hip bag
I like the size of this hip pack.. and the stiffer more shaped harness system.. seems to stay out and I can fit most of all my stuff.. the only thing is the water bottle holders are a little shallow and I’m always paranoid my bottles are just going to pop out mid trail. But over all happy with this!

Pretty good.
Quite happy with this. I’d like to have known the size before I bought it, as it’s a bit smaller than I guessed, and would have liked. Don’t see why it couldn’t be made waterproof. Having said that I can fit in most of what I’m likely to need. And it’s comfortable to wear.

Great for my commute
Haven’t used it on a long ride yet but it’s perfect for my daily commute. A touch bigger than the Rapha bar bags which I wore slung, and the extra room is very welcome, no longer worried about breaking my cycling glasses. Very comfortable and looks cool

Surprisingly comfy Hip Pack
Wanted something else to tote a few necessities on long bike pack / endurance type rides on gravel bike. Carrying a lot in rear bag creates a added weight and swing hassle when out of saddle. So this carry’s extra and is comfy on hips
