waist day pack for hiking (1 Viewer)

[prosopis]

I have always worn a back pack for hiking. I have been thinking of switching to the waist variety. Anyone have some recommendations? I want it to be able to hold two water bottles, snacks,keys,cell phone. This will only be used for day hikes so I dont need to carry to much.

Maybe the healthy people who exercise are here now.

You mean a fanny pack.

Stick with the back pack.

Yeah, don't do this. Have you considered just getting a small hydration pack? I have this for my shortest day hikes, and it works great.

I used to use a Fuel Belt for running more than an hour during my tri days. 4x 7oz bottles and small pouch for keys, phone, id/cash (carried my wife's engagement ring in it during an IM).

otherwise...yeah- it's a fanny pack and you might as well use a small pack for walking.

Thanks for the reply's. I have both a fuel belt and day pack like above. I thought there maybe something better out there. Guess I will stick with what I have.

I think a hip pack is a great way to carry what you want on a quick day hike

I love how you both know what they're actually called but are acting otherwise.
