Hands free, essentials within reach
A bum bag carries your phone, wallet and water bottle without a backpack. At Kampeerwinkel Roermond you will find bum bags from Deuter, Cotopaxi, Osprey, Cocoon and Pinewood: compact bum bags and hip packs for town and festivals, hiking waist packs with a bottle holder and money belts for travelling.
Bum bag for men or women?
Most bum bags are unisex. Men often choose a sporty bum bag in black or grey with a wide, adjustable strap, for example from Deuter or Osprey. If you want a small bag for phone and keys, go for a compact 1.5 litre hip pack, such as those from Cotopaxi in bold colours.
