MountainsmithDrift Lumbar Small Waist pack, Running, Hiking, Cycling, Travel, and Outdoor Sport Activities

What a wonderful design! I've been using this sweet little pack for months, on day hikes and bike rides. It's obvious that it was built by those who hit the trails -- pockets where they need to be, substantial material, strong zippers AND zipper pulls of exactly the right length and material. I also own the larger brother of this small pack, and use it when I need more room, but this small pack is THE choice for cycling and also pairs with a small backpack perfectly for day hikes. I keep wallet and phone and anything else I need quickly in the waist pack, just pulling it around in front to grab what I need -- without the hassle of taking off a backpack to reach an item. Bravo Mountainsmith!

A great little pack for gravel riding. Though I would say it's on the budget side. I do wish there were compartments inside for my phone, though it also works just stuffing everything inside.I wouldn't use it for hiking on its own. With two water bottles on each side, there's basically no room for anything on the inside. And the cross-shoulder strap it comes with is a bit uncomfortable, would have preferred something more like backpack straps like the more expensive Mountansmith hip packs for hiking come with.Though since its adequate using it for what I purchased it for and is of high-quality construction at a good price, I can't dock any stars off.

The pack is well made. The interior of it is yellow for good visibility. It has one main compartment with a small zipper pocket inside that is able to carry small items. It has plenty of room to carry simple first aid, bandana, bug spray, concealed carry gun if desired, chap stick, lighter, paracord, emergency blanket, compass, whistle and more. The waist straps are comfortable with the max size being probably about a 40-42" waist. The Front synch strap pocket is good, but the straps also go past the water bottle pockets so if you loosen to get your water bottle out the front pocket is loose. Overall not bad.The biggest issue is the shape of the water bottle pockets. The bottom of the pocket is sloped to the side of the bag and does not have a flat bottom for the water bottle to rest. If you have a tall water bottle it will not sit on the bottom of the pocket nicely and may have a tendency to fall out. A regular plastic water bottle is fine, but if you have an insulated water bottle just be careful.Like the pack overall.

This bag has made my daily walks of 4-6 miles so much better!The fit around the waist is a 50 inch max, so I actually have some extra strap to pull on! It uses a two sided “no sew” buckle that is easy to adjust.The shoulder strap was too short. We measured it at 54”, and that does not fit my tall 6’5” frame. I did not remove a star cause it was a simple matter of a 3 dollar strap purchase and 1minute swap to fix that issue. (3/4 inch strap)The bag holds my micro umbrella, small FA kit, keys, wallet, buff, snacks, and 20oz yeti or 20oz smart water bottle perfectly, and with extra room leftover.The belt is wide enough that it can easily hold my 380 bodyguard like it’s not even there, and my white river Backpacker Pro is not even noticeable.I added some aftermarket zipper pulls to the main zippers and used the original pulls on the compression straps to make them so easy to grab and loosen.Speaking of the compression straps, these are great to use every time to tighten the load against your body, help the bag ride better, and even work well at the gym. (Cold days I use the indoor treadmill for my long walks)The only part I dislike about this bag is the compression strap position. When you have the load tightened down it also places the strap in the way of the water bottle holders on the side. So you will have to fiddle with it when you are getting your water in and out, but overall not a purchase killer.TLDR: great bag! Minor inconveniences. Big guy friendly waist.

The Drift has been a near-perfect daily cycling bag for me. It fits my 1.5 liter hydration bladder and everything I need for short trips, but isn't so ridiculously bulky that it looks like I'm wearing tactical gear. The quality and craftsmanship are as fantastic and the sage color is really lovely. Customer service from the Outland USA vendor was also top notch.The cons: weirdly, the sage color water stains. I was able to scrub it out, but plain water left marks when it dried. The Drift is also not as well balanced as the full-size Mountainsmith Tour, which I use for longer excursions- the Drift only has one set of side adjustment straps at the top of the bag, whereas the Tour has a set at top and bottom. This does fatigue my back if I'm walking around with a full/heavy pack, but it does just fine for cycling trips. The shoulder strap could also be a little thicker and more comfortable, but again, okay for cycling.Overall, I'm a big fan of all my Mountainsmith bags.

Used on a long backcountry camping trip. Held up well and did his job.

I have been looking for a hip pack that fits my small 5'3" frame that could be used while running errands, biking, or going to the beach. So far so good. The pack offers ample room for my belongings and I can pack a water bottle. My hands are free with my new hip pack.

I searched for a hip pack that looks good, made well, and can carry a DSLR camera and maybe a couple of lenses, a small water bottle, some accessories, and kleenex. Some other brands had poor reviews, but this one had good reviews so I went with it, and glad I did. It's well made, has ample room for gear, looks good, nicely designed, and good value for the money! I highly recommend it.

Excelente para cargar SOLO LO ESENCIAL!! , la he utilizado para hikes ligeros de 8kms y el espacio interno es bueno para tu celular, cartera; navaja , quiza unas barras energeticas , una lampara pequena o faro para la cabeza. OJO : los espacios dobles para las botellas de agua son muy estrechos , MAXIMO una botella generica de agua de 700ml. Ese espacio para botella tambien lo he utilizado para cargar una lampara de mano extra y sin problema.Viene con banda para soporte en hombros, ideal para cuando traes cosas mas pesadas, no te recomiendo caminar mas de 4kms sin la banda y con mas de 1 kg de carga (duele la espalda baja y la cadera)fuera de ese detalle, excelente producto y super buenos materiales.

The bag I purchased doesn’t look like Mountainsmith quality, and the colours don’t match the picture. The picture shows a fairly bright green fabric, whereas my bag is more of a dull khaki colour.The straps and fixtures are pretty low-end as well.Overall, the design of the bag seems alright, but not terrific. The bottle holders are pretty small, and I’ll need to add an extra strap or clip to keep my bear spray from falling out. The main compartment is big enough for a sandwich and a few granola bars, and not much else. It should serve its purpose.** Edit - I’ve used this bag all summer, and it’s holding up very well. It’s comfortable and carries everything I need for a day hike. I’m adding another star to my review, as I would definitely buy this bag again.

Ich nutze diese Hüfttasche vor allem, um eine Regenjacke und Regencapes für meine Hunde mitzunehmen. Im Sommer stecke ich auch einmal eine Bridgekamera (Nikon Coolpix P950) hinein. Das geht gut. An den Seiten ist Platz für einen Trinkbecher oder eine kleine Trinkflasche. Die Tasche ist leicht und robust, bietet damit aber auch keine Polsterung für empfindliche Gegenstände und ist auch nicht regendicht.
