Review on EGOGO S2209: Ultimate Travel Companion With Water Bottle Holder And Hiking Bag Functionality by Pat Nard

This was a bit bigger than I expected, but it works well and is surprisingly comfortable when I go out for long walks or short hikes. I thought that it would hurt my back, but having the weight on my hips is better for my back than having the weight across my shoulders. And having the weight there seems to help my posture in an odd way. With a water bottle in this, you kind of stand up straighter.I like that there is enough room for a few snacks (for me and my dog), my keys, my wallet, and a water bottle. I feel more comfortable having those things in here as opposed to my pockets -- less of a chance of losing them. And if I've use a shorter bottle, it doesn't slip out or feel like it's going to come out. I've tested a few bottles and found the biggest one that I can use without it slipping. I think it's about 20 oz, so a decent size.This pack was something I had to get used to, because I typically use a small backpack, but I do like that this keeps the weight off my shoulders. It feels more comfortable now that I've gotten used to it. I like to wear it more on my side as opposed on my back like a fanny pack, but it's easy to move around to find the spot that feels best. I do switch it around so that one side doesn't get too strained. It is nice not to have a backpack because the straps would always make me feel hotter. This helps me feel cooler on hot days. I think you could also put a cooling pack in it and have that against your back to help in the summer.It seems really well made and so far I haven't had any of it break or tear. I've used maybe a dozen times so I'll change my review if anything changes. I really like this and recommend it as an alternative to a backpack.
