Gaia Hipster Review
This is not Your Grandmother’s “Fanny Pack”
Whether you are going kayaking, canoeing, hiking, camping, biking or fishing, the Gaia Hipster is the perfect piece of gear for you. The Gaia Hipster was designed to give all walks of outdoor enthusiast an easily accessible, 100% waterproof bag that is made with environmentally friendly materials and is PVC free, making it easy to go green in every situation.
What is the Gaia Hipster?
This product is a new and improved dry bag for your waist that is perfect for carrying your small to medium necessities. It allows you to keep what you need, on you, at all times. No more dropped keys, lost money or misplaced cameras!
What makes it better than a traditional fanny pack?
Like the fanny pack, the Hipster has a main zipper compartment, however alongside the middle pocket, this product offers 2 bonus external pockets with splash-proof zippers. The extra room is great for securing sunblock, extra camera cards, fishing lure, utility knives or any small item.
But what really sets it apart from all others is the innovative side mesh water bottle pocket. There is no need to stop, lay down your gear and search, nor is it necessary to jump out of your boat…just grab your water anytime you need to rehydrate!
With an adjustable, paddled and comfortable waist strap the Hipster is perfect for anyone of any size.
With 1.7 liters of waterproof storage and only 7” of width you will be amazed at what you have fit into the Hipster. Most drybags go into the back of the boat and are hard to access. You have to get steady footing or cannot get to your stuff without getting out of your boat. With the Hipster you have access right at your waist at the pop of a sprayskirt. Now, you can come down the river while having fast access to your camera without the common struggle. Why take extra steps when you only need to take one? The best thing of all, however, is the lightweight. All outdoorsmen know how frustrating it is to add one more piece of heavy equipment, but with “Hipster”, at only 9.3 ounces, you will forget you are even wearing it. Now that ‘s comfort! No one could turn down a dry bag that is hassle-free, comfortable, easily accessible, environmentally friendly as well as lightweight and compact for only $29.95! How often can you find so many things for so little? Even during these difficult economic times, this product is a guilt-free purchase. The “Hipster”, inexpensive and built to last, proves that Gaia Sports only has your best interest at heart. As said before, this is not your Grandmother’s “Fanny Pack”…unless you have one cool ass Grandma!!!
