Our Verdict

The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Vice Versa Fanny Pack offers a minimalist approach to keeping essentials close at hand on the trail. Constructed from premium Dyneema Composite Fabrics, this… lumbar pack is exceptionally lightweight and fully waterproof, ensuring valuables stay dry even in unpredictable conditions. Its 1.3-litre capacity is perfect for stowing small essentials like your phone, keys, and snacks, making it a practical choice for short trips and a supplementary pack for larger expeditions. I hike with as few things in my pockets as possible; the Vice Versa allows me to have all my essentials close at hand while keeping my pockets free.

With versatile carrying options, the Vice Versa can also be used as a chest pod or slung over the shoulder, providing flexibility. Its compact design and accessibility are handy for quick resupply trips in town. The pack includes a removable 3/4-inch webbing hip belt, adjustable up to 52 inches. An internal envelope pocket and key clip enhance organisation, while the weather-resistant YKK Aquaguard zip ensures additional durability against the elements.
