"Good quality, just the right size for short hikes when you don't want to take your backpack."
"Just received the hip pack, it is excellent quality cannot wait to get out of test it."
"Great product for a day hike, has 3 places to carry the Grayl purifier and other items."
"I wanted something for daily transporting of my everyday carry items, as well as day hiking pack to hold a short hikes worth of stuff. It's exactly what I wanted. It holds a few essential items without having to tote around a full size backpack."
"As I do like the the expansion pack a few improvements could be made, for instance the bottle drops could be a little wider at the opening than they are my Nalgene 32 oz barely fits and my geo press dose not fit the rubber at the base of the geo press makes it impossible to insert the sleeve, the molly although usefully could be better placed as well overall for what I want to do with this pack it should workout well"
"Very good craftsmanship. Webbing, zippers, general construction, all solid. But my favorite thing is the comfort. After loading it up with gear and setting out, the padding on the pack keeps comfort at a high level."
"Roomy, great organization and extremely well built!"
"Great product with quality materials. . Enough storage for my work gear and for hiking on my days off."
"This really is an awesome waist belt. There is nothing else like it on the market (I really looked). It is built extremely well and the water bottles don't fall out like my old waist belt. The one nit is that the key leash, and clip are in a mesh pocket inside the main pocket. The mesh pocket already can be zipped closed so my thought is that the clip is not needed there. I have my wallet, keys, air pods and glass case hooked to that clip (see photo) so it would be better to have the clip as part of the main pocket."
