Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The ULA Spare Tire Waist Pack strikes a rare balance between toughness and simplicity, perfect for carrying essentials close at hand.

Ultralight Adventure Equipment says: 

UPDATED FOR 2024! The Robic Spare Tire (v2) is a compact, versatile waist pack that’s great for days on the trail where you need extra room and to keep things close at hand.

Zippered with easy-access pull tabs, the main compartment has an UltraStretch mesh divider to separate essential items, like your wallet, from everything else. The zippered front pocket has just enough space for all the daily essentials without weighing you down, while the back panel has an unzippered UltraStretch mesh pocket for easy access to your cell phone or securely storing trash from snacks on the go. Built with ultra-durable 420D robic material and standard YKK zippers.

Our Verdict

Weighing 125g (S/M), this 2-litre waist pack feels impressively solid. The 420D Robic fabric is robust and durable, and while not waterproof, it still holds up well in light weather. The YKK zip feels smooth and dependable. Inside, the mesh divider keeps contents organised, and I found the rear stretch pocket especially useful for keeping my phone quick to reach yet tucked safely out of the way.

The webbing hip belt is comfortable, though if you’re near the sizing limit, I recommend sizing up for a better fit. It sits securely around the waist and stays put even when you’re on the move.
