I use this as a cross-body bag for the gym to keep my phone, keys, and wallet from constantly falling out of my pockets. Its also big enough to fit a standard water bottle small cloth to clean machines with. The other use for this I've found is going on walks. It's perfect to fit a water bottle and EDC item, like pepper spray or a concealed carry handgun. Its honestly a neat little bag that has a ton of uses.

I have this pack along with the Fjallraven Kanken Hip Pack. It's my adventure pack, the main compartment is easy to access while hiking or biking, and the zippers are smooth once broken in after a few days of use. The material is definitely waterproof, but the zippers aren't taped. The main front pouch has a material flap over the zipper to keep rain from getting in the front pouch, but the back pouch zipper will leak a bit of water depending on how hard it rains, not much, but some in a moderate rain. Would prefer to pay more for waterproof zippers if it were an option, but otherwise a perfect hip pack for all your active pursuits The main storage holds more than you might expect..

I can’t carry purses over my shoulder or even across my body due to arthritis. So when I go out I carry a small backpack. The problem (to me) was every time I wanted to access my phone, keys, or wallet, I had to swing my pack around and root in the backpack. I found this medium waist pack by Fjallraven to be the perfect size for my daily use. It’s not too large (which means I can’t overload it), but large enough to carry my keys, phone, wallet, and a mask. I also clip on a reusable shopping bag, I walk a lot, and it is very comfortable. I bought the Lava Red; it’s a beautiful color.

I love the capacity of the bag. I love the red gold color. I love the durability. It’s so comfortable to wear. But I really wish that the pocket on the back was just 5mm longer so that I could get my big iPhone in and out. Or that the zipper was smaller. My phone technically fits, but it’s difficult to get in and out. I would also kill for another internal divider to make sure that my AirPods were more completely separated from my sunscreen than just by a mesh divider. Or so I could put my camera in without worrying about it being scratched by my keys or rocks that I pick up on the beach. Or just to make sorting easier. It’s large enough to be a bit of a black hole, and a tiny bit of internal organization like an extra divider or key clip or would make a huge difference. These aren’t big deals when I am wearing Fjallraven trousers (which have amazing pockets!) and I can put my phone in my real pockets, but it’s enough of a problem that, when I don’t need a full backpack or fancier handbag, I reach for my less attractive and less comfortable mantis the vast majority of the time.
Love wearing it literally everywhere. It's waterproof so if you get caught in the rain or spill something on yourself your things stay dry. I have the black so it matches everything but I got my stepmom the lava red color and it was wicked cute too and she loves it.
