I ordered this as something to hold my phone/wallet/keys while cycling to keep my pockets empty. It’s a great product, really nicely made, and it fits my large 6’3″ frame well. It arrived this morning and I’ve tested it a bit, it’s so comfortable that I’ll be using it every time I go out from now on, riding or not.
It’s awesome to find such an ideal product locally.
Thanks for the quick service, and I hope to shop here again soon.
Definitely recommended.

Love this bag – great for when training my doggy 🙂 Great for summer so I do not have to wear a jacket with pockets. Loved it so much we brought a second one for another family member. Service from Nomad by Marnie was top notch – thanks so much, Marnie 🙂

Great small bag for my daily essentials – keys, wallet, phone, earbuds, blood glucose machine and insulin pen.
I wear it as a sling and its perfect. The quality is second to none.

I love my “hip pack” but use it as a sporran. It holds my phone, my wallet, my asthma inhaler, my ear buds and 2 pairs of glasses comfortably. My hands are free and no lumpy wallet in my back pocket. I highly recommend this to everybody. Because I wear my nomad in the front people sdk me whst the h#ll is that? And I reply my sporran. Thanks Nomad. Grest product. I would love to see a D ring attachment to clip my car key to?

One of my favourite possessions.
I have worn my belt bag most days since I bought it at Confest in 2016. Really comfortable, adjustable. It’s pockets when your clothes don’t have any. It’s a minimalist handbag, perfectly fitting your phone, wallet keys, snacks, jewellery etc. It’s a tool belt, I’ve kept wrenches, secateurs (they poke out, but the Velcro flap keeps them still) etc. Dance, move, run, jump in and out of the car, plane, boat, all your essentials are there (passport can be hidden in the pocket closest to your body, and I’ve forgotten). Gotta say though, the Velcro stopped being secure and I was going to SE Asia so I sewed it closed and it’s still the best thing. If you’re considering it, do it. People will point out your “bum bag” but you won’t care because this utility belt will bring you bliss daily. Trust.

This is the perfect size bag for my everyday carry essentials such as Samsung Note 4 cellphone, earphones, wallet, cash, and keys.
I carry the bag across my chest, it give me a feeling that all my personal items are safely secured to my body.
It is my grab and go bag. Throw in your passport and your flight tickets, and you are ready to fly.
It’s well made and the materials are great.

I love my nomad hip pack! I bought it for festivals, but also use it for nature sketching, keeping my pencils very handy! It’s sturdy and the perfect size!

The Nomad Small Hip pack is ideal for carrying my iPhone 6s plus (tight fit but easy to remove and insert), as well as a small portable battery charger and cable. I cycle in urban Auckland so it’s my grab and go bag. I would recommend this Nomad bag.
