“Unfortunately the pack did not fit well. I'm a 36inch waist the with all the straps loose it was a snug fit and already at the end of the strap. Other reviewers have commented on the small size as well. I would not be able wear it over any outerwear as I had hoped. It seems to be a cheap and easy design fix to add a longer strap in the production . Pack would be okay if you are less than 160lbs. I returned the item.”
“Great product. Use it for bikepacking. It holds quite a bit. I’ve loaded it up with electronics, food, toiletries, cables, wallet, etc. Stuffed my Showers Pass rain jacket in with it all. It’s nice to have it attached to me so I can keep my valuables in it and know where they are, plus can carry it around with me off the bike or toss it in my tent at camp. Haven’t used it in a proper rain yet, but it kept everything dry while riding in the summer fog/mist on the Northern California coast.
When it’s tightened properly with the straps, I never noticed it on me while riding and it didn’t rub against my fully stuffed seat bag hanging off the back. It’s very comfortable and doesn’t shift around even while up pedaling out of the seat.
Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a hydration/storage solution.”
“Pack is just the right size for flats fishing, holds several fly boxes, extra leaders and tippet and some tools. Not submersible but waterproof. Waist strap is very short. I'm a 36"waist and strap is tight even fully extended. Any bigger waist, or bulky clothes, and it wouldn't fit.”
“it says one size fits all. The belt is 6 inches to short to clip. Even when I was racing at 174 lbs I wouldnt have been able to wear this. I'm checking with SP now to see if this is just a one off/defect”
“Really like this pack. It fits great and the volume for contents is wonderful. I would like to have seen better zipper pulls on this pack as the water resistant zipper is stiff and I have already broken the zipper pull. Otherwise great for cycling and fly fishing.”
“Excellent hip pack.Fully loaded I don't even feel it on my hip while cycling. Like all showers pass gear it is well thought out and very durable. It is the best outdoor gear on the market that I have tried. I don't even bother shopping elsewhere.
Cheers Bernie”
“First off I have used my fair share of hip bags for a while now. None have compared to this. When I saw it Velomag I decided to give it a try. It has plenty of room to carry everything I need for my gravel rides but it doesn't feel like a big bag while wearing it which is great! It looks, feels, and is durable. The ranger has replaced all my other hip bags to the point that I have just given them to friends to make space in my closet.”
