New color and new fabric! The new updated version of this multifunctional pack is made with i610 d cordura HP and now offered in Coyote Brown. Weave it through backpack straps, wear it around the waist, strap it across the body, or attach it to your handlebars. With endless carry options, this is the ultimate sidekick for every adventure.
No two adventures are the same, but a Sidekick will handle them all.
Rather than have a pack for everything, have one pack that does everything—or almost everything. Wear the Sidekick as a traditional lumbar pack or cross-body sling. Remove the waist belt and use the rear hook & loop tabs to attach it to bike or motorcycle handlebars, compression straps of a backpack, day pack waist belts, MOLLE attachments, chest or sternum straps, and more. The Sidekick Medium is built with die cut clip-in points across the front panel for added versatility.
FEATURES
Rear panel velcro tabs allow for multiple attachment options such as bike and motorcycle handlebars, compression straps of backpacks, webbing waistbelts, MOLLE attachments, chest carry on pack sternum straps, etc.
Zippered front panel pocket with diecut clip-in points
I got the medium, and the build quality is top-notch, but I have to agree with the other reviewer who said it's slightly smaller than the published dimensions, especially the height (mine measured just over 6 in, not 7 in. Also, the front zipper pocket would be perfect for a phone, but I have to angle my Pixel 9 to get it in SNUGLY. I put some first aid stuff in the waterproof interior zipper pocket, and it made the outer pocket almost unusably tight for a phone. Keys will NOT fit in the outer pocket unless you only have a few keys and no fob. Hopefully, the 2026 version will be slightly bigger.

WELL MADE BUT SMALLER THAN LISTED
Well made as usual but published measurements were off just enough that I can’t use it for what I needed it for. Good product, just too small. Will have to return it.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Picked this up today at Babbitt’s in Flagstaff, Az. Why did I buy it? Small but fits my phone, key and wallet. Water resistant or perhaps water tight inner compartment. MOLLE adaptable . Small and inconspicuous. Can be worn as lumbar, cross -body or hand held. I greatly dislike carrying a man-purse and this lets me carry my things is a small, masculine, low key way.

Best bag ever.
This is my favorite bag in the world. It matches everything. Its big enough. Its Black. I’ve been using it since it first came out. And I’ve been wearing Mountainsmith since 1994. Love it!
