Verdict: A great, rugged bag designed for those who need practicality, comfort, and durability on the go.

Whether you’re hiking through mountain trails, exploring a new city, or simply looking for a hands-free way to carry essentials, the North Face Sport Hiker Waist Pack is built to handle it all.

One of the standout features of this waist pack is its ergonomic design, allowing it to sit comfortably around your waist without causing strain. The adjustable hip belt ensures a snug fit for various body types, distributing weight evenly and preventing discomfort even during long hours of wear. Unlike traditional backpacks that can be bulky and restrictive, this waist pack provides quick and easy access to your essentials without slowing you down.

 

For travellers, the North Face Sport Hiker Waist Pack is an ideal alternative to a daypack. It offers enough room to carry your passport, wallet, phone, and other travel necessities while keeping them within easy reach. The secure zippered compartments help protect valuables, reducing the risk of theft in crowded areas. Since it stays attached at the waist, it also frees up your shoulders, making it perfect for airport navigation, sightseeing, or even cycling.

 

When it comes to hiking, the waist-mounted design is a game-changer. Unlike backpacks that shift around and cause sweaty back discomfort, this pack allows for better ventilation while keeping all essentials close at hand. The multiple compartments provide ample space for energy bars, a water bottle, a first-aid kit, and even a compact rain jacket. Its weather-resistant fabric ensures durability, even in unpredictable conditions, making it a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts.

Opting for the plain black version of the North Face Sport Hiker Waist Pack adds a level of versatility that complements any outfit or occasion. Unlike brightly coloured or patterned designs, a black waist pack blends seamlessly into both urban and outdoor settings, making it suitable for business travel, casual outings, and rugged adventures alike. It’s also less likely to show dirt and wear, maintaining its sleek appearance for longer.

Petzl Actik headtorch review

My track record with headtorches hasn’t been a great so far, with 2 Black Diamond headtorches stopped working annoyingly, however I’ve always had good experiences with Petzl for the last decade since starting out with their entry-level Tikka.

The Actik headtorch features a maximum brightness of 350 lumens (compared to the Tikka’s 300 lumens), which is more than enough for most expeditions. It also has a wide beam mode for when you need the extra light, and a red-light mode, which helps preserve night vision and is useful for reading maps or navigating in low-light conditions.
