VISCNE Outdoor Fanny Pack Hiking Fishing Waist bag 2 Water Bottle Holder Lumbar Pack (Black), Black

10/10! I use this when I go walking. Better than carrying a backpack when I walk and keeps me more mobile. It fits 2 small water bottles on the side, knit hat, gloves and poncho inside in case it rains.Excellent quality and value for the money

This was a better quality than I expected. The capacity is excellent for a day hike and the quality, number of pockets, number of water bottle holders, and the quality of the straps are great!

This is the first bag that’s just right in size. Every one I’ve tried before this one is either too big or too small for what I’m using it for. I love the shoulder strap and the suspenders strap. Such great options. Compartments are perfect in size and very well placed on the bag. Drink holders are well made and the right size. Most drink holders on other bags are either too big, too small, too shallow or too deep and fall apart easily with use. These seem to be made much better than ones on other bags. I like that everything can be cinched down tight. So whether I’m hiking a trail or riding a trail, my belongings are nice and snug. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I originally purchased this because I do invertebrate surveys for conservation properties around the greater Houston area. I was tired of pulling my backpack off, digging for specimen cups or tongs and possibly losing the critter I'm trying to capture for photos. With this pack and it's shoulder straps, I'm able to take the weight off my back, disperse it around my lumbar and hip area and make it easily accessible. It also leaves room for me to carry my camera on it's shoulder straps and STILL have a camelback pack for hydration. I'm a literal pack mule and this gives me space to carry extra ON my back when needed. The accessibility at the small of my back allows me to carry cups, rulers, tongs, brushes, gloves, trash bags, ziplocks, two water bottles, first aid, my phone and the straps help situate everything comfortably. It came with an extra duffel bag style strap for the diagonal shoulder carry, but I don't see myself needing to use this. There are plenty of adjustable places to make it fit just about anyone. I wear a size 32 in mens, but being a woman, most waist packs want to sit on top of my hips, making things uncomfortable. this pack has the padded straps similar to what most large hiking packs have to make it a comfortable fit around my hips even when I have it loaded to the max. 10/10 would recommend for the day-time hiker, scientist, outdoor enthusiast or even bicyclists. light, breathable and holds a good bit. the straps on the outside let me tie a small raincoat or attach a carabiner too!

I like to adjust weight distribution on my hips as I hike, which was virtually impossible unless you removed the pack. Even then it took some time to make the adjustments. Overall, the pack did the job. The back straps made it worth the purchase for me. It was nice to have the option.
