Best all rounder pack I've had in years.
This pack is so versatile and the perfect size for everyday use or as an essentials pouch while travelling.
I've been through heat, cold, dry and wet with this pack since July 2023. I've used it as a waist pack, crossbody pack, shoulder sling and backpack expansion to excellent effect. Very reliable.
Things that could be improved:
- Better water proofing. Got caught in a monsoonal downpour and the bag was saturated. Damaged my international driver's licence and wet my passport. Luckily the passport was in another water resistant RFID sleeve so it wasn't damaged. After drying the pack out, I noticed that the wire mesh had left a rusty imprint in the fabric, telling me that it's not stainless steel mesh or maybe a very low grade stainless.
- Zip tags are incredibly noisy when not secured. A small detail, but it can get annoying when silence is necessary. However, it is very quiet when secured to the slide lock. The lock also works great with the option to padlock the slide.
- When used as a waist pack, the excess strap is not very securable with the inbuilt strap sleeve or elastic band. It needs something a little tighter to stop it sliding up and creating a loop to get caught on one's surroundings. It works well in minimal movement situations, but can get annoying when moving around. The strap adjuster works great and is robust. Could do with a little better grip though.
- I love my Tan coloured version. Please bring it back. I would happily buy several more for myself…

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience and suggestions. We really appreciate the time you took to provide this feedback. Our bags are made with water-resistant fabric designed to withstand light rain, but they aren’t fully waterproof. For heavy downpours, we recommend using a rain cover for extra protection which should be available from other merchants. Regarding the wire mesh, could you please share some photos with us? We’d like to learn more about this issue. We will also pass along your comments about the zip pullers, strap and bottom design, and color availability to our product team. Thank you very much.
