ImpressedI've been riding MTB with a Camelbak for years - fully loaded with everything needed - I ended up riding road these past few years and enjoyed having rear pockets while having my back open to breathe. This Hip Pack provides that same road feel I want with an open back. I'm surprised with how much I can put into it - tube, C02, GoPro batteries, Gimbal batteries, tire levers, Clifbar, multitool, keys and wallet and it's nice and flat on my waist/lower back. I really enjoy using this product and it seems to be made of durable fabric that will last some time. I recommend it.

Best Hip Pack I've tried so farI use this hip pack every single day in the city and for gravel riding. Water bottles do actually fit very well where they are supposed to, materials and inside details for organization are just exceptional, as expected from a Rapha product. Very comfortable even if loaded. I carry, all tools, snacks, ID's, keys, gloves when riding and keys, wallet and 2 beer cans when in the city. sometimes I even carry a windstopper on the net! Best bike related product I've bought this year.

Super small, great quality and utilityHigh quality pack. Much smaller than 3 liters. I measured 2L. It barely packs one RCC rain gilet. Pictures online make this pack look big.
On the positive side, this bag fits comfortably and securely in the small of the back. Is waterproof. I have the blue model, and the inside is orange, making it very easy to see what is inside the pack. The large zipper is shorter than the length of the bag, making it difficult to pack things in and take things out. However, contents, once inside, remain secure inside and won't flop out. The small zipper pocket in front will hold some credit cards and a small I phone.
This bag will fit some gloves, a patch kit, extra hat and pump. Don't expect it to carry a day's worth of gear. I use it for walking the dog (treats, flashlight, poop bags), and it is perfect. Highly recommended if you want a small, secure fanny bag.

i loooooove this packthis pack fits everything i need, including my u-lock and extra water bottles (or cans of seltzer, beers, snacks, etc). i use it mostly for urban riding but recently used it on a long gravel ride. it's super versatile and comfortable, and it has held up well after a pretty hard fall. it fits securely around my waist and doesn't move around much at all. it's also a pretty fair price given what similar bags go for. if you're thinking about getting it, stop thinking and just do it. you'll thank yourself later.

Go to hip pack and spacious!Comfortable and spacious. My favorite hip pack running. Inside I can fit a 16oz soft bottle of water, tool roll, first aid kit, multitool, CO2, tire lever, a compact layer, snacks, keys, etc. I use the 2 mesh bottle holders for trail snacks or cramming a small layer/gloves. The bottle holders hold bottles securely, but are hard to put the bottles back into with 1 hand and if a bottle is inserted it impacts the interior storage space. The bungee on the top is awesome for stashing a layer once it warms up. I've used this 4 hour ride and it fits everything I need.
For comparison I also have the Osprey Savu 5 (much easier to use with bottles, smaller storage area), Bontrager Rapid Pack (most comfortable, but smallest capacity and only holds 1 bottle), Dakine Hot Laps 2L (found it to be uncomfortable). The Rapha is my go-to hip pack, the Bontrager for shorter certain rides, the Osprey has been relegated to hiking, and I got rid of the Dakine. The price/value of the Rapha was a surprise as well!

Great, high quality hip packThis is a great hip pack. It does not move around on my back at all like other packs I have used. I love how you can tighten it down. I also love the front pocket which is perfect for my phone. The only thing to note is that it isn’t easy to tighten the waist strap on the go. It does not come loose but if you are someone that likes to tighten it or adjust it while riding, you might find it a little annoying. I would do that with my last pack so it took be a little get used to just setting it and then not adjusting it.

(un)Pleasantly SurprisedLook, I really wanted to hate this bag. I, like many others in the MTB scene, were not exactly stoked to see Rapha make an entrance into this space. In my personal view, Rapha has always been synonymous with the lycra clad group that rides slow but likes to look good while they do it in their overpriced kit. I say this only to say that I am as big of a Rapha critic as any.
I gave this bag a shot because of the lashing on the top of the bag allowing for easy storage of an additional layer or two, which is a must have in the PNW shoulder seasons. There are some other brands out there that have that feature, but for some reason, very very few.
After a few rides, I must admit, I find this to be the most comfortable hip pack I have ever worn. I had to reach down several times on my first ride to check to see if it was still there. The fit and finish is on point, the price is more competitive than many other brands, and the comfort is unmatched. Now I find myself, regrettably, strolling through Rapha's site looking at other bits of MTB kit. *facepalm*
The only concern I still have is security of water bottles in this pack. So far no issue at all, but it's only been a few rides and I have yet to take it down some proper gnar.

Great Hip PackCycling on an e-bike in view of my advanced years I wanted to keep the bike weight as low as possible so I could perhaps be able to enjoy some of the longer rides I did in my younger years. I have a lightweight clip on saddle bag but it wasn’t big enough to be able to take the food for my ride. I never liked carrying a bag on my bike and finding this hip bag advertised it was just what I needed. I’ve been very pleased with it, It fits comfortably on my waist and allows me to carry everything I need - a great purchase!
This bag does not have attachments to fasten it to handlebars.

i know the internal dimensions are tricky, but do you know what the external dimensions are? I am just trying to figure out what 3L translates to compared to my current 11x6.5x3" pack, given the vagaries of volume measurement with packs. Thanks.

Can this be worn over the shoulder / across the chest too? Will it hold a camera?
Asked by: Everlasting
The Trail Hip Pack is meant to be worn around the waist, however you may be able to wear it across your shoulder and chest as well depending on your measurements and what is comfortable for you.
You may be able to hold a camera in the Trail Pack depending on the size of the camera.

Is it suitable for trail running?
Asked by: Flipuis
There is no reason why you couldn't use this for Trail running. The waist strap is adjustable to hold it in place.

Can you advise the internal measurements of this pack?
Asked by: Swampyduck
Unfortunately, there are no internal measurements for the hip pack. It is a 3L capacity for daily essentials.
