Our Conclusion
The EVOC Hip Pack Pro 3L is aimed at mountain bikers, but the user base is broader. For any outdoor activity where the need to carry weight at the hips is useful. If used for trekking/hiking, it is suitable for daily use to carry only the real essentials for a day trip. This means standard trails and not overly technical trekkers, backwoods running, and cross country skiers.
Any day outdoors where you want to carry some gear and water will work with this waist pack. The key to effectiveness, comfort, and performance is that the activity involves being upright and wanting easy access to water or gear.
