My day excursion and micro diaper bag,

This review is from: High Sierra Express Lumbar Pack (Apparel)
First off, I'm glad Amazon carries this product -- but I really wanted to physically inspect a number of lumbar packs, make comparisons, and decide if it met my capacity, comfort, and utilitarian needs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any in my area stores.
As it was, choosing this particular pack was almost torturous as you don't get a clear idea of what it can hold. And so I kept vacillating between a few High Sierra products -- this one, the Diplomat (which seemed too high and narrow), the Ridgeline (maybe to large?), and the Envoy and Passport (both of which didn't have bottle pockets). But in the end, this product seemed like the best choice. The primary motivation for getting a lumbar pack is that I needed a mini diaper bag, something I could bring to museums, etc., with the kids and have full function of my arms and hands. Fanny packs didn't fit the bill because I don't want something bulky in the front as it gets in the way. Backpacks are size-overkill and make for sweaty backs in the summer. That said, it's a nice pack with 2 pockets (one large, one small). For me, one holds a travel size baby wipe case, a few diapers and cream; the other, car keys, camera or flip, sunglasses. Not much more could fit - maybe other slim electronic devices like a phone and iPod, but since there are only 2 pockets one has to consider what's going to be scraping against what. The mesh bottle holders are nice -- they are each designed with a stretchy loop that holds the bottle snug so it doesn't fall out. That's good but it also means that blindly reaching behind to reinsert a bottle is a finger-fumbling act. Maybe I'm lame, but I have to rotate the pack to the front to place the bottles back. The holders hold most any 16-20oz bottle: bottled h2o, soda, arizona iced tea, etc.. The included bottle is useless to me as it contains BPA -- sort of idiotic given the chemical's bad press. Lastly, if you need to access your stuff *often*, get a fanny pack -- reaching behind or rotating constantly isn't convenient, especially if you have a camera in there. Overall a well-made, comfortable, and useful product. Would recommend.

Excellent design, high capacity, no BPA,

This review is from: High Sierra Express Lumbar Pack (Apparel)
I own this, the Envoy, and the Passport.
Based on the review citing BPA I called the manufacturer. They switched to a bottle with no BPA over a year ago so that is no longer a concern. The bottle and the package now indicate this. Just the main compartment can hold a compact umbrella, wallet, cell phone, and key case with room to spare. The smaller front compartment alone is big enough to hold a wallet, cell phone, and keys with room to spare. A lot of capacity. The pack seems very well made. Easy opening/closing zippers, sturdy material, comfortable backs, a loop on the bottom to which you can fasten something. The Express (this unit) feels less massive than the Envoy when wearing it. The Envoy has more capacity but no water bottle holders. Effectively, if you need to carry a water bottle this Express may have more usable space than the Envoy since the Express has two very spacious top-opening compartments with a pocket in the larger one. These are in addition to the two water bottle holders. If you want greater capacity and do not need to carry a water bottle consider the High Sierra Envoy. High Sierra Envoy Lumbar Pack If you want a comfortable although small unit just to carry for example a wallet, cell phone, and keys then consider the Passport. High Sierra Passport Lumbar Pack.

Good Pack, Bigger Than I Expected!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: High Sierra Express Lumbar Pack (Apparel)
I ride a bike a lot and use this pack instead of a bike bag for carrying everyday stuff like bike repair kit, reading glasses, wallet, etc. as well as a faily large digital camera and my ipod. With some packs of this type I've had problems with the clasp on the belt popping open when I'm riding, this one is nice and solid and has stayed firmly closed. I also like the way the pack feels on my waist, it's very comfortable and tends to dissapear after a while. The water bottle holders are useful althogh I only use one the other one tends to end up with a snack shoved in it. Overall construction seems very solid so I'm sure I'll be using this pack for several years. A lot of pack for the money!
