Reviews Summary
Customers say this hip pack is perfectly sized for daily essentials like phones, wallets, keys, and sunglasses. Many reviews mention its versatility as both a waist pack and crossbody sling bag. Users appreciate the high-quality construction, smooth zippers, and comfortable wide strap. The bag features a front zippered pocket and main compartment with internal organization. Common feedback includes praise for its durability and thoughtful design details like O-rings and grab handles. Some note the strap adjustment can be challenging initially, and a few wish for longer straps for crossbody wear or additional pockets. Most find it ideal for travel, errands, hiking, and hands-free activities.

    cheat not

    i will admit that recently i tired to cheat on Tom Bihn and most notably with Evergoods. the reality is Tom Bihn is just better. the designs just offer superior functionally for someone actually using a bag on a regular basis. this is a classic example. it’s admittedly not much to look at, but it just works. i use this as a fanny pack if not daily then every weekend when out with my dog. it seems to always hold just what i need and it’s never uncomfortable. for context, i am 6’3, 240lbs. finally, as with all my tom bihn bags, it’s overbuilt and made for the long haul. i have had this thing covered in mud and dust from being out hiking and all of it just wipes off. i don’t recall its weather rating, but it’s also been subjected to the rain (typical PNW rain and not torrential downpour) and i have never had any water intrusion. YMMV.

    i liked this one well enough to order a second as a backup for other gear (that i want to keep clean from dog treats and other dog related stuff).

    i have tried several other options and keep coming back to this one. you won’t regret this if you’re set on using it as an actual fanny pack.

    My Every Day Carry (EDC) solution

    Whenever I leave the house, whether for work, running errands, day trips for pleasure, or cross-country travel, I always carry a few essential items "just in case." The Tom Bihn Bummer is the perfect size, flexible carry options, and durable construction. For me, as a former Christian minister, I carry a small, thin King James Bible, my daily prayer journal, a small Field Guide note book, a collection of sermon notes on 5x8 cards, various color pens, a book light, reading glasses, and some Gospel pamphlets. And yes, it all fits nicely! I want to always be prepared for hospital visits, Bible studies, church services, and home visits. My perfect EDC spiritual companion!

    Bummer

    This bag is the perfect size for me and I love it. I'm in the crowd that wishes it were better suited to cross body wear. Could Tom Bihn fabricate an extension strap, say 12–18 inches long, with a male connector at one end and a female connector at the other end that would match the existing hardware, and voilà!

    Thanks for your review, Alan! Good news- we do have an extension strap. You would want the 1.5" Hip Belt Extender for the Bummer, and you can find it in our Hip Belts page here: https://www.tombihn.mom/products/hip-belt

    This bags been perfect switching between crossbody and around the waist while traveling. Plenty of adjustment range for my 6' ~180lb frame.
