Trail Ready: The Hitch & Timber Hip Pack

When taking to the trails, riverbanks, or urban streets, carrying a bulky backpack for a lightweight gear loadout is often overkill. Baltimore-based leather and canvas outfit Hitch & Timber has long been a favourite among EDC enthusiasts for their hand-crafted, American-made gear organisers.

With the Hitch & Timber Hip Pack, they have applied that same uncompromising utility to a versatile, weather-resistant waist pack.

Priced at an approachable £75, this rugged carrier is built for outdoor lovers who want quick, hands-free access to their pocket gear without sacrificing durability or classic aesthetic charm.

* Shell Material: 10 oz Olive Waxed Duck Canvas
* Zippers: Heavy-Duty YKK Brass Zips w/ Leather Pulls
* Configuration: Top Main Compartment + Front Quick-Access Pocket
* Internal Organisation: Two Interior Slip Sleeves
* Carrying Options: Adjustable 2" Strap for Lumbar & Cross-Body Wear
* Dimensions: 10" L x 6.5" H x 2.25" W

Heavy-Duty American Craftsmanship

Crafted entirely in the USA, the foundation of the Hip Pack is its heavyweight 10 oz Olive waxed Duck Canvas shell.

This heritage material offers inherent water resistance and extreme abrasion resistance, making it an ideal choice for unpredictable UK weather. Over time, the waxed finish will pick up a unique, weathered patina that reflects your personal adventures on the trail.

To ensure the bag survives years of continuous outdoor use, Hitch & Timber constructed the pack with double-reinforced inseams.

There are no delicate synthetic fabrics or cheap plastic components here—every stitch is executed with maximum durability in mind.

Thoughtful Storage & Brass Hardware

Despite its compact 10″ x 6.5″ x 2.25″ footprint, the Hip Pack offers surprisingly capable storage for day-hike essentials, fishing tackle, or daily pocket gear.

The exterior features a front zipped section designed for high-priority items like your keys, pocket knife, or wallet.

“By combining 10 oz waxed duck canvas with heavy-duty brass YKK zippers and dual-mode wearability, Hitch & Timber has crafted an essential piece of outdoor kit that only improves with age.”

The main top-opening compartment unzips to reveal two internal slip sleeves, keeping your phone, compact camera, or multi-tool neatly separated rather than tumbling around at the bottom.

Heavy-duty YKK brass zippers with custom leather pull tabs ensure smooth, reliable operation even when wearing thick outdoor gloves.

Versatile Wear on the Trail

Equipped with a wide 2″ adjustable webbed strap and a robust buckle closure, the Hip Pack is designed for maximum comfort across a variety of outdoor pursuits.

The generous strap length allows for easy adjustment between a traditional lumbar (waist) carry and a modern across-the-chest cross-body sling setup.
