Patagonia · Fieldsmith Hip Pack 5L
Fieldsmith Hip Pack 5L: the Patagonia hip pack in cotton canvas, hands free from the market to the train.
The Fieldsmith Hip Pack 5L is a 5-litre Patagonia hip pack, in coated organic cotton canvas that stands up to water. On Saturday it buckles round your waist for the market; in a crowded station it goes across your body, the zipped pocket under your hand; when travelling, it ends up as an organiser pouch at the bottom of the big bag.
City · Walks · Trip
Phone, keys and notebook close to you, hands free.

Ways to carry
At the waist, or across the chest.





Colours
Black, midnight blue or sand beige.
Black

Smolder Blue
A midnight blue edged with light blue piping, which stands out on a white T-shirt.
Classic Tan
A sand beige with a matching strap: the shade of raw canvas, on a grey polo shirt.

Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- A canvas hip pack that moves around with the day: at the waist for walking, across the body in a crowd, packed in the suitcase as a pouch.
- Worth knowing
- 5 litres and 9 cm deep: the small things for the day, no room to slip a jacket inside.
- Who it's for
- People who go out without a bag at the weekend, phone, keys and notebook on them, and prefer cotton canvas to nylon.
