Looking forward to a comparison with the Source Hipster. I've got the Hot Laps 2L and absolutely love it but looking to get one with a bladder for longer rides. Great Work mate!
Don't get me wrong, a full back pack still has a place but for a few hours a "bum bag" is ideal.. Depending on the size you can also manage bigger rides too.
I see a lot more of these types of bags at trail centres, lighter then carrying a full pack, especially if you are close to a trail centre shop, no need to carry as much spares, still have a full pack for those marathon rides.
Hi - yes the strap can be adjusted long enough but like most slings, you will find it wants to find the lowest point of gravity. Therefore if you try to wear it like that and cycle you will likely find it under your arm pit or even swinging around by your chest.
@@TimFromWales Hey man thanks for the response. Im more interested in wearing it crossbody to use as a bag to carry stuff when Im not MTBing so I guess it will be fine.
Great video, just ordered one of these!
Ace…

I have only used it for a short ride and I’m working out the pros and cons. I’ll be using this for a few rides to see how I get on.
Dan Swallow could already instantly tell you the merits one has over the other.
@@TimFromWales looking forward to the next video then
How do you compare this pack to the Source Hipster?
I used take the p out of mates with bum bags , but I think I’m going to have eat humble pie , they look perfect for a 1-2hr ride 😬

Well I seem to have a lot of them now too! A big bag is still the only way to cover you on a big ride...
nice job on showcasing the Hip Pack.
Hey thanks. Couple of rides now and I have some initial feedback but I’m gonna save it up for a review video
Hello, can you wear this bag crossbody or is the strap not long enough?

Decent size that one Tim. 👍
Problem with these bigger bum bags is that you have more weight to carry around.. And it can move around your waist if theres too much
