 Not too big, good features, great priceAug 05, 2010
By Winston Smith
"Another Customer"
This is a quality lumbar pack. I recently purchased a North Face Roo Pack, which I deemed to be too big for typical walks, hikes, or runs. The North Face Roo Pack didn't seem to be built as nicely-- I really like the ventilated cushioning on the back of the Mountainsmith Vibe II. It's not too big, fits about right. The clip for the strap is to one side (the left side if you wear the pack facing rearward or right side if you wear facing forwards), whereas most similar packs put it in the middle of the strap (i.e. the way the North Face Roo Pack does). The nylon strap feels sturdy, not too narrow and not too wide. It has good organization in the main compartment: 3 open/mesh pockets, plus 1 zippered mesh pocket, and a key chain retainer clip. I'd estimate the main compartment to being about a half liter in volume (this was important info for me to know based on what I plan on using this for, but I couldn't find that out anywhere until I bought one), since a typical half liter water bottle could just barely fit in with the zipper pulled tight (but I probably wouldn't recommend ever carrying a water bottle in there-- it's just a size estimate). The front pocket is very nicely cushioned for a pair of glasses, plus it has another mesh pocket for an MP3 player (iPod) with a covered headphone opening. The zippers are nice and don't rattle. I loaded it up, put it on, cinched it up, and ran around with it-- only minor bouncing around, it feels comfortable for jogging.
If you're thinking about getting a lumbar pack (a.k.a. "fanny pack") but you think you're too cool for one (don't want to look like a tourist or like you're European or something), there's a strong possibility you could get all the usefulness out of this one and wear it under an untucked shirt and nobody would ever notice-- not true for many larger packs.
Overall it feels very nicely constructed and compact. It's a bonus that it's made from recycled materials, but I wouldn't have bought it based on that alone. The North Face Roo Pack is going back to the store, which is fine by me, because on sale it was $10 more than this one anyway!
Oh, and Amazon Prime shipped mine fast-- ordered Tuesday afternoon and had it in hand on Thursday afternoon. Thank you!

 Well-designed but tinyJun 15, 2010
By Mom of 2
I bought this pack for my 10-year-old's trip to Disneyland with the idea that he could be responsible for his own water bottle and chapstick. Small seemed ideal, but it is actually too small to hold our 12-ounce stainless steel bottles, and can just barely hold a regular disposable water bottle.

great built quality, but kind of small and heavyJan 27, 2012
By Jeff Aski
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R9G15MHRB1IQG I like how durable the pack is, but when it gets filled up it can get heavy. I use it when I do video productions to hold my extra batteries, flashlight, cell phone, etc. I got the black one so it doesn't stand out as much.

"Man Purse" or EDC if you're coolSep 04, 2010
By gary bowen
This little pack is great for carrying all the crap in your pockets, streamline getting out the door in the morning, and streamline downloading in the evening. Pens, meds, pocketknife, multitool, flashlight, keys, emergency whistle, nail clippers, first aid supplies, extra cash, cell phone, subcompact camera, gps--all these are things I've carried in this bag or on the belt (but not all at once...space is limited). Also known as EDC bag for "everyday carry" items. Sturdy, well designed, user friendly, looks good.

Vibe IIMar 31, 2010
By Frank W Titoni
This product is high quality all around.
The only suggestion I might offer to make it better would be to replace the three
utility loops (one top center and one at either front side) with para cord instead of the fabric that is used. I probably will not use those loops as they are, I would not trust them to hold without tearing. Otherwise this is an excellent pack. Vibe II has the proper compartment size and structure for a small unobtrusive and comfortable lumbar pack.
