Waterfly ONJ29-05 Large Hiking Waist Pack – Beige, Multi-Pocket Fanny Pack

Waterfly bumbag – large fanny pack for hiking, travel and cycling – beige

Practical, unfussy and built for everyday adventures — this Waterfly bumbag is one of those proper handy bits of kit that soon becomes indispensable. It’s compact but thoughtfully laid out: five compartments, a few clever pockets and a strap that adjusts from 52 to 135 cm so you can wear it just how you like. Ideal for when your pockets won’t cut it and a rucksack feels like overkill.

what’s inside and why it helps

There’s a roomy main compartment with an internal zipped security pocket, a theft-proof phone pocket on the back that sits against your body, a small key pocket and a front pocket for things you need to grab quickly. Everything has its place — no more faffing at the ticket barrier or scrabbling about for sunglasses.

• The five-compartment layout keeps kit organised and cuts down on rummaging.
• The rear phone pocket sits against your body to make pickpocketing harder and to keep your screen scratch-free.
• Internal zipped pocket gives an extra layer of security for passports, cash or receipts.
• Front pocket for quick-access items like a map, tickets or a torch.

comfort, fit and weather protection

The strap is wide enough to spread the load so it won’t dig in on longer walks; the 52–135 cm range means you can wear it on your waist, across your body, over a shoulder or across your chest depending on the day. The outer fabric is water-repellent — good for drizzle and sudden showers, but it’s not designed for prolonged soaking or full submersion. In short, it keeps your kit safe on damp British days, but for a proper downpour you’ll want a cover or to tuck it inside a rucksack.

specs and practical bits

Dimensions are roughly 23 x 13 x 9 cm and it weighs about 240 g, so light enough to forget you’re wearing it until you need something. The zips are robust SBS fittings that run smoothly and stand up to frequent use. It’s made to sit close to your body, so it won’t bounce about when cycling or walking briskly.

• Size: 23 x 13 x 9 cm; weight: 240 g.
• Strap: adjustable 52–135 cm for multiple carry options.
• Material: water-repellent fabric (not fully waterproof).
• Zippers: durable SBS hardware for reliable use.

who is it for and when to use it

Perfect if you want to travel light and keep essentials neatly organised. Commuters, festival-goers, dog walkers, cyclists and day hikers will all find it useful. Heading abroad? It’ll keep passport and boarding pass close at hand. Going for a long walk? It’s small enough to stay out of the way but big enough for a phone, keys, a compact power bank and snacks — a proper all-rounder with sensible protection against typical UK weather.

Wondering about big phones? Most modern smartphones will fit, especially in the rear phone pocket, though very chunky rugged cases can make the fit snug. If you’re expecting heavy rain, clip on a lightweight wet cover or stow the bumbag inside a rucksack for peace of mind.
