FAQ
Is the Fieldsmith Hip Pack waterproof?
It’s water-resistant thanks to the PU-coated organic cotton canvas, but not fully waterproof. It will protect your essentials in light rain or splashes.

At 5L, it holds daily essentials like your phone, keys, wallet, a 500ml bottle, and even some snacks or dog gear. Many users love it for hiking and dog walks.
Can it be worn crossbody as well?
Yes! The adjustable strap allows you to wear it across your chest or back like a sling, or around your waist as a traditional hip pack.
Is it structured or soft?
The pack holds its shape well without being stiff, making it easy to access contents and preventing sagging when only partially filled.

Yes. It’s made from organic cotton and recycled polyester, with production certified by Fair Trade standards and bluesign® safety and sustainability protocols.
Can it be used as a packing cube?
Absolutely. Many travelers use the Fieldsmith Hip Pack inside a bigger bag to organize electronics, toiletries, or documents, then use it on its own once at the destination.
