Customer Reviews The North Face Explore Hip Pack

Great hip bag or over the shoulder. I really like the colors and materials are nice. I just wished it had an extra zipper for putting smaller items but it does hold a good amount of stuff.

This pack is a mellow color, nice design/color way. I thought there were 2 pockets, a smaller one in the front and a bigger pocket in the back, looks that way in the pictures. It's just one big pocket, the stitching on the end in the front is just for show. This one lies pretty flat so you can fit a small wallet, a phone and some chapstick. There Fanny packs out there that can fit more definitely but if you want one that isn't bulky, this is the one for you.

It's cute and durable. It could use more pockets. Only has one inside.

Very nice and just the right size. Light weight and just grab and go.

Good for travel

I like the size however it would have been way better with an additional compartment inside for money etc

Love the color and design. I wear it like a crossbody. It fits plenty of stuff, perfect for everyday. Only complain is that the strap length tends to loosen up as the day passes, I would prefer it to remain where I set it.

Love the bag! kinda wish it was split into 2 pockets but having one big pocket has its pros!

I wear it as a sling bag, and it is very comfortable and has plenty of space for everything I would need. Kinda sad that it only has one pouch, so you can't really organize your things. It also has to elastic bands to hold the excess strap in place but the strap will often slid out after a while defeating the entire point of the band anyways. Besides those two grips I have no problems with this product.

Could use more compartments

A good quality product! Very useful and Nice for gifting too

I bought this as a gift for my husband. I like the style and size. I only wish there was a zipper pocket on the inside or another closable compartment

Belt is secure and it is very comfortable. It is a little small, but it can fit a .5 liter bottle and a protein bar.

I liked it because it was quite spacious, but returned it because it was too big for me

The hip pack is OK. Excellent stitching, good strapping material, lots of inside room including a small strap with clip for a key ring, strong well made zipper. BUT, with a little more effort they could have a great hip pack. The buckles for the strapping are CONSTANTLY slipping because they have no serrated edge/teeth to grab the strap....so it is slipping all the time that you are moving. Also, the logo side of the hip pouch has a recessed panel with the North Face logo on it. A durable heavy-duty, clear plastic panel stitched onto the extruding material already present would make an excellent (quickly accessible) pocket for a cell phone, keys, and glasses, etc. you could easily close it with a velcro strap, zipper, button, etc. Hiking in England and Wales, on vacation, I was in need of that on many occasions. North Face could put their logo on the outside...no problem. If North Face were to fix those issues, in my opinion, I would give it 5 stars. It would be a difficult hip pouch to beat.

The size is pretty. However there's only one extra pocket inside without a zipper. Now my coins are just basically around everywhere..

I was looking for a hip pack that is bigger that the one I already had. I actually liked the design and color of the lumbar bags but they are way too big for my use. There were not a lot of selections either. I ended up with this hip pack because of 1 litre capacity. It is big enough to fit all my essentials when I am on a motorcycle trip or going to an amusement park. What I do not like is the straps are too long and the elastic bands can't hold the straps in place. The straps are also slightly too wide, when wear the bag across my chest and the strap keeps rubbing on my neck. It is annoying.

I would have given this fanny pack 4 stars but it did not have enough compartments. The design is nothing amazing, but i really wanted a durable TNF Fanny pack for use during Mission trips overseas and this was the smallest and lightest weight out of all that were available.

Only the one large pocket, no extra features. Did not feel durable.

The strap hurts my shoulder and it also becomes loose over time. The buckle is too big and hard to press. The design is just too bulky for me.

I returned this product and replaced wit with a different kind of sling bag.

It's made of plastic materials. I would appreciate it more if it's made of canvas or cloth.
