Tour Lumbar Pack

I'm going interrailing and have a wheelie backpack, so didn't want a backpack but wanted something to keep daily items close. I am an urban sketcher so its important to have supplies accessible. I also have a disability that affects my ability to hold heavy items in my hands. This is fantastic. It is a very comfortable fit. The shoulder strap and waist strap ensure it is versatile, comfortable and functional for travel. There are many pockets, which can keep me organised on my travels. Especially important to me us the large drink pockets, one will hold my foldable sketching stool and the other my large travel mug. It looks waterproof but has not been tested yet. Overall it seems perfect for hands free travel.

I bought this to use as a bag for cycling trips, and so far it has worked perfectly--provided you don't overload it. It's held just about everything I need on a tour, however when it gets too heavy it tends to bounce around a lot, and puts a lot of weight on the saddle--which can become painful after +50mi of riding.

Ordered a MountainSmith Tour Lumbar Pack that arrived today. This is a LARGE, roomy pack, with plenty of space for everything and several spots to stash your smaller stuff. I plan to use it as a day pack/camera bag so that it doesn't scream "tourist" and yet my gear is easy to reach. Several straps in strategic places allow you to re-size the pack to your needs. I really hesitated to get it because of the price, but it's hard to find a large pack. Here are the features that sold me and then reassured me once I received it: ***** Workmanship is very good ***** Fabric is soft yet sturdy and the mesh accents are nice; it has a great unisex appeal. ***** Contrasting color on the inside so you can see the sections clearly. ***** Quality, smooth zippers with pull-tabs on them ***** Holds 2 LARGE water bottles with cinching if you have a skinny bottle. ***** Rear side has breathable fabric and is rigid without adding weight. ***** Plenty of room for anything else you might need. ***** Zippered mini-pack (7"x3"x2") on the belt is a great size to stow a cell phone, wallet, or snacks. ***** Lumbar straps can tuck behind the panel allowing the pack to be carried by the handles or attach a shoulder strap (NOT included - see below). Bonus!!! - I'm able to fit a camera gear cube (10x5x6) inside with no problem so that equipment is organized and protected. Note: If flying, this pack folds fairly flat and weighs under a pound, so you can fit it in luggage then organize it once you reach your destination. Or you can use it as your carry-on instead of packing it; even full, it will easily fit under a seat or in the overhead. I looked at a ton of lumbar packs and camera bags before purchasing this one and this MountainSmith Tour was by far the best decisions for my needs. I've bought no-name brands of packs and bags from Amazon before with very mixed results, so in this case going with a brand name and spending more was well worth it. The not-so-good: From photos posted on Amazon (currently slide 4), I thought that the pack came with the shoulder strap that is pictured; however, it was NOT in the packaging when received. For my purposes, that strap is an absolute MUST and was one of the features I loved about the pack in terms of versatility. Nearly no other packs had a waist belt and a shoulder strap and built-in handles - most had only 1 or 2, not all three. When I went back to check the fine print in the posted description, I saw that the "strapette" was sold separately. At nearly $100 for the pack, I wasn't pleased to have to spend more to get the shoulder strap. Amazon didn't have it in the MountainSmith store or a compatible one in the general search results so I had to go directly to MountainSmith's website and spend another nearly $25 (strap plus shipping). And I will not know for a few days when the strap arrives how close the color is because the color name is different for the strap than for the pack. Still rating this pack at 5 stars, as I know I will get a LOT of use out of it, even with the extra expense of the strapette.

すでにこのシリーズを買って4個目になります。良いものは良い。 悪いものは駆逐される。 良いからこのシリーズも残っています。

Ich habe bereits einen Mountainsmith Tour und ihn seit 4 Jahren im Einsatz. Ich bekomme alles rein (Kamera, Tablet, Handy, Powerbank, Reiseführer, Geldbeutel, Taschentücher, Snack) und liebe die beiden, außen angebrachten Getränkehalter. Es ist ein kleines Platzwunder und bis zu 5 kg lassen sich ohne Probleme transportieren. Wenn notwendig, kann auch noch eine Jacke festgeschnallt werden. Ich dachte zuerst, dass ich vielleicht die zusätzlichen Träger brauche, aber das Zugsystem stellt sicher, dass die Tasche immer gut sitzt. Diese Bestellung war für eine Freundin, die ebenfalls gerne draußen unterwegs ist (Angeln, Wandern, Reisen). Auch ihren Praxistest (3 Wochen Südafrika) hat die Tasche gut überstanden.

財布やスマホなど常備品の他に、水筒、折り畳み傘、薄手の羽織ものを入れても取り出しやすいほどの余裕があります。

ロードバイクのロングライドイベントで使用してます。何でも入ってゼッケンも貼れてお気に入りです。
