Comfortable, padded waist bag
Are waist bags cool again yet???...<br />Well, I like them, anyway - particularly for biking.<br /><br />I bought this one in yellow. I have to admit it caught my eye specifically because the style, especially considering all 3 available colours, is very Star Trek. Even the logo vaguely adds to it. Am I crazy?! Yes, but I knew I had to get this one. The size and padded straps had something to do with my purchase too, but... you know.<br /><br />It's large for a waist bag, a little small for a utility bag. It packs a whole lot of stuff in it's various pockets. I can use it for the bike tools and supplies I tend to carry with me if I'm out for a while on my bike, or any of my other daily items.<br /><br />- The largest pocket is in the back. I fit two boxed bike tubes in it, or alternatively a full package of baby wipes, plus my Kindle and a little bag of Red Vines.<br />- The pocket in front of that has two internal compartments (one is zippered), plus a little key holder clip. It can hold many small items (for me: phone, oximeter, pill case, chapstick, trial size lotion, few pens, charger).<br />And the pocket in front of that is a diagonal small zipper pouch that can hold something small and skinny (just notes and receipts for me).<br />There are also two small side mesh pouches; they're not large enough to hold a water bottle but they're about inhaler sized.<br /><br />The back of the pouch is very padded. It'll prevent any sweat from reaching the contents.<br />There's also a wide channel between two padding layers so you can stick your belt (or anything you need to carry?) through it.<br />The shoulder strap is removable but the waist strap is not (though it could be stuffed into the side mesh pockets if you need to).<br /><br />THINGS I LOVE: The padding that extends out to the sides makes it super comfy. It can carry quite a bit of stuff, the zippers don't snag, the shoulder strap is removable, and most importantly: it's heavy duty and high quality.<br /><br />THINGS I DON'T LOVE: The bottom isn't padded like the back, there are not small pen/coin/etc holders inside any of the larger pockets.<br /><br />I bought this discounted in return for my review and opinions after use.
