Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack, Heritage Black, One Size

I started using the Mountainsmith Lumbar packs back in the mid-90's when I needed a large pack to hold all of my personal gear and one that was comfortable to wear all day, every day. I've accumulated 5 (coyote brown, olive green, black, one that is made of hemp, and now the gray version). I've used them for recreation and for field work for a Federal agency and never had a problem. The newer version has a zippered pocket on the right side of the waist belt that is perfect for vehicle keys, keeping them both accessible and secure. Quality product and highly recommended by a daily user.....

Excellent build quality, well laid out features, very comfortable to wear. Holds a decent amount, too. It's not too heavy, but it'll take all the stuff you need for a day out hiking. The pull tabs on the zips are easy to use (even with gloves). Now, I will grant that it's not as cheap as some lumbar packs out there, but the quality and design, not to mention the warranty, make this an easy choice. It's well worth the price.

This is the perfect day pack: plenty of room in the large areas of the pack, even for a water reservoir, if you prefer that over water bottles. I like keeping the heaviest things I carry (like water) closer to the center of my body, so I put lighter things (rain cover for the pack, xtra socks, rain jacket, sandals, etc.) in the secure water bottle holders on the outside of the pack. Anyway, there's generous room in the main compartment for extra clothes, first aid kit, and a meal, plus things like binoculars, journals, etc. Plenty of secure/zippered areas for must-not-lose-on-the-trail items (car keys, wallet, etc.) The drop down outer flap is great for a mid-weight jacket, or rain jacket, that needs to be readily available depending on the effort/heat I'm putting into the hike. The belt: come on! this is the best day pack belt on the market. Wide and lots of smooth hip padding and two additional external compartments for smaller items (though the zippered pocket does hold my iPhone 15, so it's not small!) on the belt at the front of the body. And the very best part: I have to wear NOTHING on my mid and upper back, where I generate a big percentage of heat while hiking. Also, my upper body can move without being encumbered by a pack--sometimes required on rock hops and in forests. When I travel by air to places I'll be hiking, the pack is my under-seat bag. My other good-hip-belted day packs with the same capacity could not fit under the seat. Very high quality craftsmanship mean my first one only finally wore out after 25 years of hundreds of miles of travel/hiking. (It's still in good enough shape to be my dog's travel bag.) I almost forgot: the bottom straps can hold a bottle of wine, a tarp, a pad for sitting, additional light shoes, towel, bathing suit, or many of the trail-specific things you like to take depending on your destination (baguette, anyone?)

This replaces the same bag I’ve had for 20 years, and hopefully it lasts another 20. It’s great, though the laptop sleeve is a just a little bit narrower than I would like as the laptop won’t fit horizontally.

High quality extra large fanny pack. Carries everything you might need when a backpack is too much. Double water bottle pouches are very handy.

I needed a pack to hold camera gear, water. Etc., things needed for a day hike. This seems well made with a thick material. It is comfortable on my waist but also has a good shoulder strap. It will actually hold my camera with 600m lens which surprised me. This makes it easy to get everything to the car. I have used it for a couple of short birding hikes and found I don’t notice it is there until I need something and it is easily at hand. All the various pockets make it easy to reach what you need. This is lightweight and gives me more than enough room for day hikes.

Took a minute to get used to but once I did, loved it.

I bought this article not for hiking, but for daily use. I am a mail carrier and this pack sits behind the seat in my mail vehicle and manages my drinks, my tools, extra pens, lights, miscellaneous weather gear (neck gaiter, cleats, and gloves in the winter, cooling kerchief in summer), and my smaller hats. It goes to and from work with me every day, five or six days a week. After most of a year, it's still holding its shape, zippers still secure, bottle holders still cinching tight. This is a "tardis" container for me, holding more in its space than it seems it should. I found the original price a bit high, but it was worth every penny for the long-lasting quality. I cannot speak to the comfort as worn for hikers, but I use the shoulder strap in and out every day and it hangs from the shoulder strap in my vehicle.

2年以上前に購入。ショルダーベルトが長すぎで、身長178cmで最も短く調整して何とかちょうどいい位。背の低めの人はもうどうにもこうにも長すぎだと思う。おそらく「TOUR」なら良いのかもしれないが、「DAY」は本体そのものが長いのでベルトが余ってしまうのだ。 また、一番外側のゴムのフックが外れやすいし、機能的に使い勝手も悪い。 旧モデルも持っているのですが、総じて旧モデルの方が優秀なバッグであった。 この現行モデルが出てすぐに買ったのですが、これら欠点がマイナーチェンジされることを期待したい。

excelente calidad y tamaño perfecto

このシリーズはもう、30年以上使い続けています。相変わらずいいです。

Meilleur sac urbain au monde

今回で3回目の更新。 私にとっては、定番バック。 リュックのストラップと合わせて使用。 前掛けが出来るのでセキュリティ対策で海外でも必ず持って行きます。 星が一つ少ないのは、価格変動が大きいので買うタイミングが難しい事。
