High Coast Hip Pack

Perfect size hip pack, not overwhelmingly big but plenty of pockets for all the essentials. Also love Fjallraven's fun color options, I got the yellow.

I now have both the Fjallraven High Coast Hip pack and the Fjallraven Hip Pack. Both are fantastic in their own ways. The High Coast is made of a lightweight nylon, has 3 pockets (front, middle and back) and a mesh net with a key hook. It also folds into itself, similar to the Patagonia Black Hole Mini, but holds way more that the Black Hole mini. A plus are the loops at both ends of the pack, which I use a G-series carabiner keychain to loop in the zippers as extra security when traveling. I prefer darker colors in the nylon, as the shark grey was too transparent. I am petite, right at 5 ft and the pack worn at the hip does not look overwhelming, but I prefer the sling cross body wear. The excess belt does move around, although secured by the extra elastic. Both have dual zippers for access of the main compartment. Compared to the Fjallraven Kanken hip pack the High Coast is a bit more sleek as the logo is smaller. I do also love the Fjallraven Kanken, although the logo is huge. It does fit more in the front pocket, has a nice firm handle at the front and also has 3 pockets; a small divider in the main section and a keychain holder. The plus is the G-1000 material which is water resistant and can be rewaxed for a finished look. This too also looks adorable with different colorways. No side loops on this one. As reference, both of these hip packs can fit TWO iphone 12 (one for work and one for personal), iPods, a slim card holder wallet, my keys, masks, lip balm and pens. The Kanken can hold a bit more in the front pocket, where in addition to the above, I stow my inhaler. I switch between the two as my staple hip packs. I’ve used the Patagonia black hole and the Lululemon belt bags, but always go back to Fjallraven. You can not go wrong with them.

I looked forever to find a lumbar pack that was not to big, not too small, not too sporty and not too fashion, AND had a body-facing security zip pocket. I also didn't want to spend too much $$$. This little hip pack is PERFECT for walks and even short hikes: it holds my iPhone Xs Max, small wallet, keys, lip gloss, and masks. It's comfortable and adjustable, and it looks super cute. You can sling it around and wear it on your front or back, but I prefer it on my waist. Love love love!!!

I love this little fella. I took a trip to an amusement park and this is a quick version of what I packed. Front pocket- hand sanitizer, travel pill bottle, lip balm, ear buds, and a few smaller items. Big section- phone, mask, sunglasses, headband, and a enough room for other odds and ends. The back- I kept my cards, money, and receipt in the zip portion closest to my body. It’s a great size and I’ll likely buy another for my kiddo!

Was looking for a fanny type pack that wasn't bulky... with no reviews I was skeptical but decided to give this one a try. I am picky... I like it. Front outside pocket is large enough for a iphone 10. Inside is very roomy. Not sure how heavy it will be if you put a lot in it but with just a few items it is ok. Strap long enough to wear around waist and there's a band to keep excess strap from flapping around. Material is softer than my fjallraven backpack. Nicely designed small bag that I plan to use as a fanny pack.
