Possibly our most versatile lumbar pack, the Epic has enough room to carry all your essentials plus snacks, trekking poles, and a light layer. Ideal for mountain bike rides, hikes, and long dog walks.
Epic days call for an epic pack. This lightweight and spacious lumbar pack has plenty of pockets for easy organization and a padded waist belt for all day comfort. The two side pockets hold water bottles securely, the exterior pouch makes stashing collapsible trekkingpoles or a light rain shell a breeze, and the waist belt pockets keeps small items easily accessible.
I recently purchased this pack for hikes with my dog that are less than 2 hours. For half to full day hikes I go to my Tour pack. This Epic is a game changer for short walks/hikes. Carries all the essentials while being 1/2 the weight of my, “Mountainsmith Tour” pack.
However, this pack needs 1 upgrade to be perfecto. A carry handle on top of the pack. It’s annoying to carry this pack with no handle. Especially when it’s packed with 2 water bottles.

Great lumbar pack for hiking with my dog
I needed a smaller lumbar pack for hiking with my dog and this one is perfect. I am 5’5” and 140lbs and this pack fits my waist. I definitely think it was designed for a slightly bigger body frame but it actually fits very comfortably. The water bottle pockets work very well and I don’t notice my arms hitting them while walking. The body of the bag has two pockets that fit quite a few items. And the stuff pocket on the outside was an unexpected perk. Overall, love the pack. Would definitely buy again.

Not bad, not great
I've tried to replace an old casual waist pack. The others were all too small. This one is larger, so it will do; but it's not really what I was looking for. I would have liked the front compartment to have more sections, a few pen slots and other things for people who wear them all the time. Also, I've worn it a bit less than a week, and there are some loose fabric threads on a top, back corner. I'm not sure how long it'll last.

Surprisingly Versatile!
This thing rocks. I’ve used it for a couple months now, for as long as a marathon and as short as a couple mile sprint, on both trail and road, for hiking and running. I’m sold. I carry body glide, keys, a knife, small towel, phone, wallet, long sleeve shirt, and a full size handgun with very minimal bounce and excellent weight distribution. I wear it higher so the strap comes across my belly button area, which makes me subconscious about how I look, but man is it comfortable sitting higher like that! The only, very silly and understandable thing I didn’t like about it was how long the straps were. Nearly excessive for a 36” waist, but easy fix was to cut em and sew them back just like the company did! Took 5 minutes. I would recommend this for anybody who likes getting out to run trails or hikes regularly.
