Tour Lumbar Pack

I purchased the Tour for hiking to carry snacks, essentials and water, but tried it one day to just ride to work on my bike. Holds my 13" laptop, water, exercise journal, glasses, keys and EDC knife and flashlight. My Tour is black, but the silver-grey accents are visible at night, making my ride feel safer. I used the strap at first that came with the pack, but my hubby purchased the suspender straps for me making it sit a bit more snuggly. I am just under 5ft tall, 112lbs, so the tour on its own wobbles on my hips a bit when I carry the water bottles on the sides, but with the suspender straps it sits snuggly on my hips and back and I don't have the shoulder pressure from a traditional backpack. I am enjoying the Tour more now that it serves multiple purposes. Great buy and great customer service when I was deciding which pack would be best given my petite size.

Great for day hikes!

Good size, good build quality. Fits my 40" waist no problem but tends to put downward pressure on my pants. Also, earlier generations were easier to adjust, with the main strap adjustments in front at the clips rather than back at the body of the pack. This makes loosening it to buckle in harder than it was on my 20yo pack this one replaced.

Best fitting lumbar pack for my body type. I have an Osprey Talon that is too small in capacity (6 l) and fit me poorly around the back. The larger size is nice and I can take everything I need. A couple of minor issues. A key chain storage hook would be a nice improvement. After tightening the delta wing compression straps, there is a lot of extra strap length left over - hangs down to my knees. A way to easily store the extra length is needed or perhaps shortening the length of the straps to begin with (my waist size is 33 in). All and all great pack and reasonably priced.

I am on my second lumbar bag. I use this skiing, biking, and hiking. I have like about 35 years using these 2 bags. This is my go to bag for regular use, almost daily. I love the pockets and versatility of how to use it. The compression lets me have a large load in the winter or just a snack and first aid kit in the summer. I can carry bike tools, w.p. jacket, water, lunch, snacks and strap on extras if necessary. I can cinch it tight and just carry my keys and a cliff bar and be fine. This is perfect for every occasion. My first one is not really wore out yet I just have it for stuff in the corner of the van the it fits perfect for a collector of stuff.
