Mountainsmith Sidekick Lumbar Fanny Pack, Belt Bag, Crossbody Sling, Heritage Black

I love this pack for use carrying things that are a little more than what I’d be willing to carry in my pockets. Great for EDC, but you may find yourself throwing a few things in there and having to fish them out. The provided pockets are great but don’t provide a lot of organization options, but they work and are durable, so I can’t complain about that. I love the aesthetic and that I can strap it to my bike handlebars so my things don’t fall out of my pockets while riding.

Big enough for my needs. Sturdy, and has the option to detach the belt and attach the bag to compatible molle systems, which is a very neat feature. Zipper pulls are sturdy and helpful.My only complaint is that there isn't much compartmentalization built in, but I can live with that for this price.

Its a nice little bag that's well built. I use it to hold a skin care kit. Cheaper than a lot of other competitors but the quality is top notch.

I am pleased with product quality-- It's made of Cordura 305 (not as heavy-duty as C-610), but still Cordura. It takes a little time to remove the belt/strap, as it is a little snug in the bag loops (good), and belt end is back-sewn (to prevent belt from accidentally sliding back through buckle (also good?). Dimensions are as advertised, so pay attention to the size. I found it's a good size to attach to my road-bike handle bars, and in my opinion, as aesthetically "pleasing" and unobtrusive as a fanny-type pack can be.

Bought this to use sometimes across my shoulders and sometimes around my waist. It fits around my shoulders barely, but I also have a very wide build, so it may be more comfy in that position for other, smaller people. Has a nice yellow lining inside, has held up very nicely with commuter use and has a nice, large storage.

Love the idea of a small belt bag/pouch. However this one is not very usable due to the design flaws... which is a shame because the aesthetic is great. The pocket design is great. One front pocket, one main pocket with an internal small zippered section. There is a leash loop on the top external. It would be nice if there were also a leash loop internal to both the main and front pockets. But that's not a big deal. The big downfall is the belt loops/attachment straps design. The design doesn't work for MOLLE or belts. Not sure if it's designed specifically for another attachment spec, but it should be specified if that is the case. And no matter what, it's problematic that the belt loop is not aligned vertically with the two side straps. The pouch is too big to be used with just the belt loop. All three straps are located too low resulting in the pouch wanting to flop over and pull away. The side straps are also horizontally too far from the side edges and too loose to adequately secure the pouch. Please redesign to MOLLE standards as that provides for easy belt use and webbing interoperability. I would not purchase this until it is redesigned.

I like the front pocket for easy access to most used items. There is also an inner plastic pocket which seems to be waterproof; I use it for medications and bandaids.

I have been using the pack for a few months and it's handy. I like they I can attach my leatherman to the front with the Mollie loops. I can also use it to clip on a small led flashlight I have for hand free lighting. I haven't attached to a bike yet, but overall I am satisfied. It is a sturdy bag.

I like this item but for a “medium” bag it’s wuite average actually, what would a small be I wonder, I’m boarder line on whether I should keep or not due to size…bag seems decent but really I might go with a “Pacsafe” instead because of size…time will tell.. if you just need regular fanny pack type size this will work and it does feel sturdy and good quality, just not what I was expecting when it said “medium”
