Review: Daypack – Camera Bag – Carry-on – Carry-all - Ordered a MountainSmith Tour Lumbar Pack that arrived today. This is a LARGE, roomy pack, with plenty of space for everything and several spots to stash your smaller stuff. I plan to use it as a day pack/camera bag so that it doesn't scream "tourist" and yet my gear is easy to reach. Several straps in strategic places allow you to re-size the pack to your needs. I really hesitated to get it because of the price, but it's hard to find a large pack. Here are the features that sold me and then reassured me once I received it: ***** Workmanship is very good ***** Fabric is soft yet sturdy and the mesh accents are nice; it has a great unisex appeal. ***** Contrasting color on the inside so you can see the sections clearly. ***** Quality, smooth zippers with pull-tabs on them ***** Holds 2 LARGE water bottles with cinching if you have a skinny bottle. ***** Rear side has breathable fabric and is rigid without adding weight. ***** Plenty of room for anything else you might need. ***** Zippered mini-pack (7"x3"x2") on the belt is a great size to stow a cell phone, wallet, or snacks. ***** Lumbar straps can tuck behind the panel allowing the pack to be carried by the handles or attach a shoulder strap (NOT included - see below). Bonus!!! - I'm able to fit a camera gear cube (10x5x6) inside with no problem so that equipment is organized and protected. Note: If flying, this pack folds fairly flat and weighs under a pound, so you can fit it in luggage then organize it once you reach your destination. Or you can use it as your carry-on instead of packing it; even full, it will easily fit under a seat or in the overhead. I looked at a ton of lumbar packs and camera bags before purchasing this one and this MountainSmith Tour was by far the best decisions for my needs. I've bought no-name brands of packs and bags from desertcart before with very mixed results, so in this case going with a brand name and spending more was well worth it. The not-so-good: From photos posted on desertcart (currently slide 4), I thought that the pack came with the shoulder strap that is pictured; however, it was NOT in the packaging when received. For my purposes, that strap is an absolute MUST and was one of the features I loved about the pack in terms of versatility. Nearly no other packs had a waist belt and a shoulder strap and built-in handles - most had only 1 or 2, not all three. When I went back to check the fine print in the posted description, I saw that the "strapette" was sold separately. At nearly $100 for the pack, I wasn't pleased to have to spend more to get the shoulder strap. desertcart didn't have it in the MountainSmith store or a compatible one in the general search results so I had to go directly to MountainSmith's website and spend another nearly $25 (strap plus shipping). And I will not know for a few days when the strap arrives how close the color is because the color name is different for the strap than for the pack. Still rating this pack at 5 stars, as I know I will get a LOT of use out of it, even with the extra expense of the strapette.

Excellent build quality and design. I use this as a front pack that works in tandem with my main multi-day backpack for hiking the AT. Nice and roomy, with excellent, “well thought out” pouches, pockets, and dividers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great day pack! Feel the freedom of hiking with a waist pack! *by J***Y on May 30, 2024* Mountainsmith still lives up to the name. Great pack especially for a day hike. Plenty of room for essentials and wears nicely. I did buy the strapettes but the pack without them wears nicely also as long as you don’t overload it. The strappettes make it wearable like a backpack and allow you to slightly overload and wear more comfortable. Wearing a waist pack while hiking allows you to feel more free giving your back full airflow which in return makes you feel more mobile and not weighed downed. Great product quality material I’m sure it’s going to last for years! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mountainsmith Tour Lumbar Waist pack, Running, Hiking, Cycling, Travel, and Outdoor Sport Activities with Dual Water Bottle Holders - Mountainsmith Lumbar Pack Rain Cover - Mountainsmith Strapette, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/513316034-tour-lumbar-pack-waist-pack-for-hiking-travel-biking-commuting](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/513316034-tour-lumbar-pack-waist-pack-for-hiking-travel-biking-commuting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
