Ridirun R8 Waterproof Hiking Waist Pack – Dark Grey (Unisex)

Ridirun R8 bumbag – waterproof waist pack for hiking and travel (dark grey)

Here’s a sensible little pack that does the basics brilliantly: keeps your essentials close, dry and tidy without the faff of hauling a big rucksack. The Ridirun R8 is a unisex bumbag made from tough, abrasion-resistant polyester — it feels featherlight but will stand up to regular use.

Practical features

There are three handy compartments: a main pocket that fits most phones up to about 6.8 inches, a space for a small water bottle or a folded map, and a zipped pocket for cards, cash and loose change. No more rifling about at checkpoints or scrabbling round the bottom of a coat — everything has its spot and is quick to get at.

• The outer fabric is water-resistant, so it shruggs off drizzle and splashes — great for British weather, but it’s not for submerging.
• Quick-release buckle means popping it on and off is a doddle, handy when you’re hopping on a bike or flashing a ticket.
• Adjustable strap fits waists from roughly 27.5in to 47.2in, so you can wear it around your waist or sling it across your chest.
• Three compartments let you separate valuables, tech and small kit neatly — very handy in busy places or festivals.

Technical specifications

• Approximate size: 33 x 6.5 x 14 cm (length x width x height).
• Approximate weight: 0.15 kg — light enough to forget you’re wearing it.
• Material: abrasion-resistant polyester — durable yet lightweight.
• Strap range: 27.5–47.2 inches, with quick-release buckle.
• Phone fit: designed for phones under 6.8 inches.

Who’s it for? Anyone who wants freedom of movement while keeping the essentials safe — hikers, runners, dog walkers, festival-goers and city travellers. It’s perfect for short day hikes when a full pack is overkill, or for travel days when passports, tickets and a phone are all you need.

About waterproofing: the fabric is water-resistant and copes with drizzle and splashes, but this isn’t a dry bag — avoid dunking it. And the compact size is intentional: there’s room for your everyday bits and bobs, not bulky kit. If you need a bigger bottle or a laptop, you’ll want a larger pack.

Made by Ridirun (model R8) in China, this bumbag is a straightforward, no-nonsense option: comfortable, secure and practical — a proper little helper for active days out. That’s handy when the weather turns and pockets simply won’t cut it.
