PatagoniaUltralight Black Hole Hip Pack (Black)

One of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. It’s small in the best way but can hold what it needs. Good quality, compact, well made.

I live downtown in a city where a normal day involves getting around on an electric scooter, on foot, or bike. Grocery shopping, thrift shopping, going to the UPS store; it's easier to get around without a car. I needed a small bag to carry a compact bike tire pump, tire patch kit, and bike light (stuff I can't leave unattended in a bike bag because it's likely to be stolen), yet too much too carry in my pocket. I wanted a bag that was quality, comfortable (I travel light), and wasn't flashy and had a bunch of unnecessary compartments I'll never use. This bag has two compartments, and does exactly what I need it to do. I read reviews about how someone didn't like the latch at the back because they felt like it would make it easy to steal if they're wearing it in a large city or foreign country (the reality is that you don't put valuables in something that is visible). The release latch is adjustable on both sides, and you can wear the bag cross body which is my preference; however, this bag is best for a slender person.

Returned it...my size 40 waist was not compatible. Pretty expensive for the size and construction.

My man purse. I know, I am that guy. It’s pretty small and can hide it under a flannel or jacket.

Finally a small fanny pack that is light and functional!
