"Great bag. I like the elastic waistband, and this seems like the main high-quality mtb waistpack that offers it. My second time buying… zipper on the old one finally got fussy after 5 years of me overstuffing it. Still good as a backup. The elastic water bottle pocket was also starting to fray on the old one, but it still functions."
"Comfortable and large. I like the waist pouch over back pack…cooler and easy access."
"Full disclosure, this is my first hip bag so part of my issues might be because of lack of experience with them as I have been riding with a traditional back pack for years. Pros: Great quality materials used throughout. Fabrics, zippers, bladder all seem to be top notch. Bladder holds 1.5L The elastic band that holds it around your waste is thick, soft and pretty comfortable. Hose tip is held in place by a a small but snappy magnet that is fairly easy to find while riding. Reflective logo...just because. Cons: Bladder is separated from the rest of your stuff just by a thin elastic mesh. I wish there was a more secured compartment for the bladder as even though it's made of thick plastic, I am concerned about some of my small tools bouncing around and poking a hole in it. The fabric inside the compartments is black, making it harder to find stuff in it. I wish the interior was lined with a bright colored fabric. I did get the black bag so I'm not sure if other colored bags would have that same color on the interior and might help with this issue. If you have a current smartphone, it will only fit in the main compartment (bouncing around with most of your stuff) I wish the side pockets were big enough to fit my phone and keep it separate from tools and the bladder. The panel that stays in contact with your lower back is made of your typical breathable spongy and soft material but it is very slippery if you are wearing a typical jersey, which is the biggest flaw on this thing. I feel this bag should have some rubber strips on this area to help the bag stay in place and not slipping down your butt constantly. The only solution I found so far for this is just to cinch the main strap way tighter that I'd like which is obviously annoying. As I said earlier, this is my first hip bag and I rode with it just twice so far. Maybe with time I will learn to deal with this better and will stop being a distraction during the ride. I got this at a great discount so the price pushed me to pull the trigger and give this thing a shot. I'm hoping I get to love it in the future as it is great to feel the wind on your back and shoulders compared to a traditional back pack. Hope this helps!"
"My first hip bag. Ive normally used a backpack-style mtb pack but I wanted to try something a little more minimal. The Stash is great after 10 rides or so. Its comfortable and the strap doesnt constrict hip movement and doesnt slip down while riding. The dividers inside could be a little heavier duty, but thats about my only nitpick. So far, its become my go-to pack."
