In reply to Dim(m). Hello Dim(m). According to the manufacturer it weighs 1.36 pounds. They do not specify if that is with, or without the bottle. I do not have a scale that will weigh items in ounces, so I can't be any more specific than to say it is right around a pound +/- a few ounces.

Hi Jeff
Could you please tell how much does the bag weight? (without the bottle)
Every source I could find quotes “1 lbs”. Is it indeed 500 grams?!

In reply to serg. I have hiked up to six miles with the lumbar pack with no discomfort. I think it all boils down to how much stuff you need to take with you. The 2 kilos weight is not a problem for the lumbar pack, as long as it fits.

In reply to Serg. The dimensions of the compartment are 7" wide by 6" tall, so I would say yes, a 7" tablet or Kindle would fit in this pack.

In reply to Karl Searl. Hi Karl. The bottle that comes with the pack is 2.75 inches diameter. I have some aluminum half liter bottles that I have also been using with the pack. I suspect anything less that 3.25 inches would fit.

Hi Jeff,

Nice review. Looks like a pretty versatile and practical product. The reflective piping is a good features as I’m sure you could probably cross this pack between hiking as well as road biking. Have you found that most water bottles fit into the bottle holder? I know today, 1 liter bottles are coming in all different diameters. I would say the fattest diameter is the good old, HDPE Nalgene bottle. Do you know if this bottle would fit in the holder?

Again, great review!

Karl
