Good size, handy for kids.
I love this bag for walking around and for taking to the gym, but I don't love it for cycling. The clip is rather large and sturdy so when I'm bent over on a bike pushes into my belly. But I take it to the gym and I take it with me on walks or hikes with my kids. It's a great size to stuff a couple snacks in as well as the water it carries and even some wipes for the kids.
Decent waist pack that hasn’t replaced my go to
This waist pack has excellent construction and durable materials. It holds an adequate amount of water for shorter rides. The main compartment is spacious and is large enough to hold a compact tire pump or shock pump. There is a separate zippered compartment with a tool roll, which in my case I feel just adds bulk if you are not just carrying a multi tool and tire irons. I had no problem with any snags which are common in fabrics in the desert environment. My main complaint is materials used that sit along your waist are a bit slick and when loaded, the pack tends to fall off of the waist unless it is secured to an uncomfortable level of snugness. Also for this level of build I would like to see an insulated hydration tube cover included. But otherwise the hydration pack works well and tubing is secured well with a magnetic catch.
Best biking waist pack!
Extremely stable and comfortable fit. This bag has a surprising amount of storage for its size, while being lightweight. The hipbelt pockets and LidLock helmet attachment are bonuses when on the trail or on the go in general. The great part about the waist bag is that it moves with you when riding or even hiking and it does not put undue stress on the hips or waist when loaded down. The backpanel is breathable and adds a ton of stability as well.
Thoughtful pocket design and the perfect size
I've been mountain biking with a hydration backpack for years, so I was intrigued to check out whether I'd like a waist pack system. I tried the Osprey Raptor 4 waist pack on a paved ride in high heat. The pack covers a lot of bases for me, with a few caveats. For the list of pros, I especially liked the size, quality, and pockets of the bag. The bag mixes the concepts of having a simple, large pocket for any odds and ends you need secure, while also having easily accessible side pockets and a stretchy mesh rear pocket for those items you're likely to need at a moment's notice. The bag has a really great tool roll and exclusive tool pocket, which is a nice change from my backpack where tools inevitably got mixed with my snacks. Everything feels well secured - there is a key clip, clips to secure the tool role, and clips to secure the hydration pack even further than it's custom pocket. I might even say things are too secure - I would've traded the zippered belt pockets for elastic-banded pockets. The quality of materials is precisely what you'd expect on Osprey; I don't worry at all about the zippers or fabric. And the mesh on the back of the waist pack works great to keep a steady air flow (and, mixed with the smaller footprint, was a significant improvement over my riding backpack). Even in the heat and with a full hydration reservoir, the pack was surprisingly comfortable and did not rub my skin at all. As far as areas for improvement, I really struggled sometimes to find the magnet to return my reservoir bite-piece to, as the hose's "home" magnet is tucked essentially in my hunched-forward waist. It caused me to have to visually search for the magnet return location, which I wouldn't want to do while on a trail. I also started to feel the strain on my lower back about an hour into my ride; I wish there were some way to wear the bag in a different configuration once fatigue sets in. In summary, I think I'll enjoy this bag on shorter and/or paved rides, but will probably find a different option for intense and bumpy mountain biking.
New hydration pack
Most hydration packs are worn around the shoulders and back. The waist concept was new and intriguing. It fit well and comfortably hugs the body. Plenty of storage space for your phone and other items. Easily adjustable.
Super versatile hip pack!
Great for riders who prefer off the back hydration and minimalism. You can ride with peace of mind, benefiting from the tool roll, internal organization and intuitive hydration sleeve access features.
Buckle design produced unintentional openings
I will do my best to trigger a recall for this product due to the buckle mechanism. It open up during a ride and fell off, fortunately I was riding at slow speed so I was safe. If this would have happened at high speed I may have had a big crash due to the bag hitting the rear wheel. The buckle opening mechanism is exposed so my hip/abs pushed a little and opens up. Previous design had the opening tabs protected.
My wife loved it
Before I could make good use of this pack, my wife decided it was perfect for her...so her is what she had to say about it: I wore this fanny pack through Scotland on a daily basis while looking at potential living spaces and doing day hikes. The weeklong trip was done entirely on mass transit and on foot so the fanny pack was helpful for keeping important items from getting separated. It may be a strange starting comment but one of the best things about this bag was being able to easily sit down on a bus or train without taking it off. For doing this sort of multimode transportation, this bag was far superior to a purse and marginally superior to a backpack. It was easier to pull out my wallet with the credit card from the fanny pack than to take off a backpack to pull the wallet out of it. In addition to my wallet,there is space in the front zipper pockets for my rather large phone, my ear buds, my GoPro camera, and an extra camera battery. I am very happy to have zippered pockets on both sides as I sometimes grabbed the fanny pack and put it on upside down. I also tend to bend over or twist and having both these pockets zipped shut prevents me from losing items. The fanny pack easily held my passport wallet (with foreign currency). The exterior mesh pocket on the back held my Samsung UltraNote phone. The main interior holds the passport wallet, snacks or a small sandwich, my scarf, earwarmers, and sunglasses. There is an interior zip pocket which gathered the lip balm, hand lotion, sunscreen, a small hair brush, mints, and other miscellaneous items, keeping the main part of the bag uncluttered. The loops on the outside made it easy to clip on a collapsible shopping bag and a collapsible bottle sling. I filled the water bladder on this trip but never put it in the pack because I consistently bought drinks at the convenience store. I put the water bladder to use on several local trips in Orlando, FL. The magnetic clip was easier to work than a traditional backpack clip. I could sip water easily while on my bike. The magnet held up well while riding around town. I might be concerned about it catching on brush if I were on a wilderness trail. The bladder was easy to load and the wide mouth meant it was easy to add ice so the water stayed cool all day in Orlando. I did not use the underneath tool pouch, but I can see why that would be useful if one were carrying dirty or smelly items. Overall, I am happy to add this bag to my collection.
Good in concept but wasn't comfortable
I used this on both a hike and a mountain bike ride. I found the weight to be ungainly and not as comfortable as hydrating backpack while hiking or water bottles when cycling. The product is well made and nicely put together. There are spaces for tools and to attach a helmet. The problem seems to be more that any waist pack with that much weight would feel the same. I had room for a small first aid kit and energy bars in the pack.
Good quality and great for short bike rides.
Well built but a bit large for a fanny pack, and the bladder fits in awkwardly. It's a keeper for me tho. Guys with no hips and a bit of a belly (me) aren't the best candidates for a fanny pack, but it feels OK in the riding position. Nice alternative to a sweaty backpack. Wouldn't work hiking for me.
