I use mine with the shoulder strap for work. It's comfortable, sturdy and easy to adjust. I'm able to easily fit my work supplies, whatever book I'm reading and both my coffee and a nalgene bottle on the sides. I wish it had a wider variety of color options.

The perfect knick knack bag. I use them on the exterior and interior to store the small stuff. Have multiple and a spare.

This pouch is dedicated to geology field tools; chisels, picks, brushes and a tape measure. Nice not to have to root around in my pack pockets for tools.

It goes well on my EVO pack hip belt. The pack came with only one. Great addition.

Like all of the other packs I have from mountainsmith each one has a different use. This lumbar pack makes a great concealed carry weapon case. Plus it holds all of the accessories and permits.

This is the most comfortable & well-planned bag I’ve ever had. Well done!

Long time backpacker & YouTuber. Love the quality & details of this tent. I am 6'2" with room to spare. Looking forward to using this on trail. Checkout my full video on this tent. Tom from Following Walkers World.

I've been a happy owner of a pair of 2024 Tellurite 7075 OLS poles for a couple of years. I am a big fan of cam locks and after using carbon fiber in the past prefer aluminum (although I can't pronounce such multisyllabic words). That said, my Tellurites took a recent beating earlier this year when I fell while scrambling through a rocky section of the AT and one of my poles bent, as I struggled to keep from a nasty pratfall. Why did I mention this? Well the good folks at Mountainsmith sent me a replacement shaft and viola, I'm back in business. So when a friend told me they were taking up hiking, guess what they are getting as a gift? All in all, I've been a happy owner of Mountainsmith products for more years than I care to admit.

Paired up with the Tour Evo this rig is ideal for hot dez climates where keeping the pack off my back and low on hips is deal for my day hikes. Well designed and well build. Plenty of adjustment options to fit about any type of body. If you chose a lumbar pack that accepts the Strapette EVO, get them, it's well worth the upgrade.

Circuit 3.0 pack is exceptional and has been discontinued for longer than most people reading this are old. I love it because I am old school and so is it. I just received a pair of Andesite poles and they look impressive can’t wait to get out this winter and put them to the test.

I purchased the Tour and strapettes after major back surgery so that I could carry weight on my hips in a way that small day packs don't allow. The pack is SO comfortable, and with the strappettes, it functions very much like a brace for my lumbar spine. It carries enough water and gear for maybe 8 miles and the blaze interior makes it easy to see stuff inside. I also love the handles for carting it from the house to car and around. Nice touch. I probably won't use this for mountain biking, but for a day pack the size is just right and the comfort is excellent.

I have two MS Day lumbar packs. One is from 2015, the other from 2022. The currant model raincover fits both packs nicely. It is compact and easy to stash in the Day's front pocket. I rate it 5 stars and recommend it for its snug fit on the old and new style Day pack. I have not had the opportunity to test the cover's resistance to precipitation living and hiking mostly in the desert, but I know the day will come.

I really appreciate Mountainsmith as a company and there extremely high quality products. Also, based here in Colorado make it a win for me. Living and adventuring in Estes Park Co is what we do and appreciate all that Mountainsmip provides!

Love the distribution of weight and the accessibility of phone, sunglasses, etc. when using the optional shoulder straps. I’m 69 and I’ve taken daily 10-15 mile hikes for a week now with this pack and I have no negatives to report.

I needed a new lumbar pack to replace my old one which was hurting my hip. I chose the Mountainsmith Tour. It is way better on quality than the the Osprey Talon 6. The shoulder strap held the pack in place perfectly. The build is far superior to my last lumbar pack. The storage pockets are a good size and hold all of my essentials.I walked 3 miles with no issues. The stitching and build is top notch. If you need a lumbar pack look no farther than this one
