WaterflyHiking Waist Pack Bum Bag Waist Bag with Bottle Holder Running Bag for Camping Climbing Travel Cycling and Dog Walking

I'm a dogwalker and was looking for a new walk bag as my previous ones had disintegrated. I've had this a while in order to make a decent review, - previous bags I had were great for a month or two, then fell apart.I've used this every weekday for a few months solid, through all kinds of weather and it has held up very well. There is almost no wear or tear that I can see, - at the same point my last bag had holes that were big enough for me to start losing some smaller items. (I kept repairing it till I found a good replacement - I'm picky.)It's sturdy and very roomy, - I like carrying a lot of stuff with me, a spare lead, collar, ball, treats, flashlight, squeaky toy, hand sanitiser, tissues, poo bags and a couple of other bits and bobs and I still have room to spare!The front most pocket is excellent for storing treats for easy access, side pockets fit a lot of poo bag rolls, it will fit a generic 500ml water bottle no problem (which will be good once summer hits)The only con I can think of is that the belt strap slides a bit so needs readjusting every morning, but it's something every single bag with that belt type suffers anyway (which is pretty much all of them).

No point in full review as there are enough already. However, there are a couple of things worth pointing out:Water bottles (particularly if they narrow somewhere towards the top) can be held in place by pulling over the loop/strap (see photo)Waist belt doesn't slip if you first adjust roughly with back strap, and then cinch up with side straps. Also easier to adjust on the fly this way.

I purchased this as my new bike doesn’t have any bosses to attach a bottle cage. I already have a Marin bum bag but it can’t carry a water bottle. This arrived and is just the job and will carry 2 water bottles but also all my bike tools, a pack a mac, my iPhone, spare inner tubes with plenty of room to spare.I have to admit that for the money I was worried it wasn’t going to be any good but it’s much better than I thought it was going to be. I have yet to use it but I reckon it will be fine. It can also be used as a shoulder bag as it comes with a detachable shoulder strap and the belt can be tucked away.All in all very pleased

I have used this bum bag for many treks and expeditions and am very impressed by the carrying capacity. I don't like backpacks in hot countries and this bum bag easily carries my 2 travelling towels, sun cream, mosquito repellant, x2 500ml bobble water bottles, snacks, money, telephone, GoPro, meds, plasters, spare laces, head torch, pens and probably more. It is comfortable to wear either in front or behind which is very useful. When my last one was stolen I had no hesitation replacing it for my next trip. They have survived an Annapurna base camp trek, touring in Vietnam, the Sumatran jungle, Indonesian touring and the Philippines so far. Although not waterproof they are certainly water repellant and protective to a certain extent, and they dry quickly. The fabric, stitching and zips are all still intact so very strong. I would highly recommend this bum bag.

This is the second one of these that I've bought. I love it so much that I've bought it as insurance in case they've stopped selling it by the time my original one finally needs replaced!! Which is not to say that looks like happening any time soon; I've used it most days for the last year and a half and it's not showing any signs of wear and tear, but there will doubtless come a day when it does need replaced, and I want the same again! It holds so much stuff but isn't too bulky. I usually carry a light waterproof, binoculars, camera, midge net, keys, secateurs, mini tripod, bird book, hankies and phone, and the pockets still aren't full! I don't generally need to carry water but I think the pockets on the sides would hold them just fine if I did need to. All in all I'm delighted with it.

I use this for dog walking and need something hands free for the summer when coat pockets can’t be used!I find it very tricky getting a water bottle into one of the sides, it doesn’t help with the strap attachments taking up room there (I have a 500ml plastic bottle and also a proper water bottle) also when I bend down to pick up a dog poo I have to hold onto the bottle otherwise it falls on the floor, but other than that it’s really good. I like the different sections

I bought this as an alternative to a day pack to keep weight off my shoulders, also stops my back getting sweaty in hot countries. Plus you can access things easily on the go.It's nice and roomy without being too big. It's well thought out and well made. It's also nicely padded, without being too bulky. Excellent for the price.The straps are ridiculously long. I can understand that on the waist strap to accommodate different people, but I don't see why the tension straps on the water bottles are so big as you can't got a bigger bottle in there. I'll be trimming the straps a bit, no big deal.As someone else mentioned, the waist strap can come loose quite easily. I've ordered some "belt sliders" from eBay to maintain tension. Only a couple of quid, but wish the bag came with them.That's a fairly minor gripe though, on the whole very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for dog walking and hiking and it’s great as I hate back packs. I carry water for the dogs and me, money, phone, poo bags, biscuits, spare collar and lead, hand gel and everything I carry in my handbag and still room to spare. It is sturdy and well made. Tall water bottles do tend to slip out of the bottle holder but there’s a D clip on the side so I’ve just threaded a band through that to slip over the bottle top. Job done. I’d recommend it.
