This is a very well made and designed unit, very durable, and a big step above the usual fanny pack. It also has a nice long and wide web belt, which is a comfort for us larger adults. I got it for a family member who likes to carry his camera, a water bottle, reading glasses, cell phone, and medications when we are out and about at area attractions where you do a lot of walking. I like this so much, I am going to order one for myself. Much handier that dragging a purse everywhere.

When I ordered this I really didn't pay attention to the dimensions, I was just looking for the small "fanny packs" that hold a phone, keys and not much else.
This is BIG. It came in handy though as I use it as my new fishing tackle bag, works really well for that.
Well made, sturdy and plenty of room with multiple pockets, very comfortable with pouch on front or back.

If possible, I would RATE THIS ITEM 3.5 STARS
The "High Sierra Envoy Lumbar Pack" is from first appearance a well constructed lumbar pack with lots of piece work and stitching. The selection of materials used, are for the most part well selected and assembled from tough fabric. The short comings surface when one uses the product. For that reason, I have the distinct impression that not all of the intended functions for this bag were thoroughly tested.
The first short coming with this lumbar pack is in how the product deals with excess waist belt strap material. Most every pack that I have owned has always used some sort of interweaving buckle. A design that I'm guessing has been around since Roman days. Unfortunately (see photo) this product uses some sort of cheap plastic clip on the waist belt that are more annoyance then serve a useful function.
Since the clips are not designed as a single continues plastic loop on the back side (see photo), the clips do not have enough friction inherent to their design such that the clips stay in place along the waist belt. Instead, these clips, which I presume are suppose to keep the excess belt material out of the way of the user do just the opposite as the excess material and clips move about the waist belt at will.
Another issue with this very dysfunctional clip design is the fact that the excess belt material does not weave in and out of the plastic clip (see photo). Instead the excess belt material merely slids into the clip from the top. Hence when the excess belt material clip is not moving around, the excess belt material is slipping out from the top of the clip itself.
The second short coming rest with the set of "quick-release compression straps". Because the adjustable strap attachment points are sewn on to the back side of the lumbar pack, the amount of tension used to secure whatever external item you may be carrying, i.e. tripod, water, depends completely on the items and their positions within the main compartment. Reposition items in the main compartment as things invariably do when hiking or remove a guide book and the rear straps loose compression.
As for me, I find it best to keep the lumbar pack on the front side when carrying water or a tripod to avoid from having them fall out unnoticed. But, as stated in another posting, this is a big lumbar pack, and to keep the pack in the front may not be practical for persons with a small frame. As a side issue, because the rear compression straps depend on the main compartment to function, every time the straps are being used and the wearer want to add items to the main compartment, you have to first relax the adjustable straps so that the main compartment volume can increase in size.
The final issue with the "quick-release compression straps to attach" is that the ends of the straps are neither free to flap about nor capable of being held tightly in place (see photo). Because of that, a person will always have a pair of thick and fairly strong loops of material extending from the rear of the lumbar pack, creating a place where a person can get hung up on a door handle, branch or protruding limb. For that reason, the wearer must always be alert when turning around so as not to get snagged by the extra strap material.
Last, I think this lumbar pack was designed to fit persons of all sizes which is a mistake in itself. When I buy a belt, I buy a 36 inch belt and not a 56 inch belt. Why, because I don't want all of that excess material left over to tuck away. The same goes for a lumbar pack. With this pack, I have as much waist belt material left over as I need to use. Two people can fit inside this lumbar pack. Because this pack has so much waste belt material left over, the dysfunctional clips designed to secure this left over material fail at their task even more miserably.
Minus 0.50 for poorly managing the excess waste belt material.
Minus 0.50 for making the adjustable compression straps dependent on main compartment use.
Minus 0.25 for the snagging problem associated with the adjustable compression straps in back.
Minus 0.25 for attempting to have this one lumbar waste pack fit thin to very obese persons.

I bought the High Sierra Envoy Lumbar Pack for an overseas trip. While the shipment was received expeditiously, as is usually the case with Amazon Prime, the item was damaged. One of the waist straps had a slash in it. Since the departure for my trip was imminent, I did not have the luxury of returning the item and waiting on a replacement. I sewed the rip with needle and thread and then covered it in duct tape.
The bag itself is comfortable and quite adequate for my purpose. I have my digital camera (inside its own case), two fat envelopes of emergency travel info, a Maglite, a magnifying glass, my cell phone, and a few other odds and ends in the bag. The padding is supportive, and when the bag is situated carefully on your hip or back, it is much easier on the body than cheaper bags.
There are two little side pockets that are perfect for small items like a cell phone. My only complaint about the construction of the bag itself, aside from the fact that it arrived damaged, is that the main compartment is so room that without dividers, contents become jumbled and hard to find.
Still, if it had arrived without defect, I would have given it 5 stars.

I use this fanny pack as my primary purse. It's probably the 5th one of its type that I've owned, and without doubt it's the best. Fit and finish is excellent, well-designed, comfortable to wear, just the right size and shape for me. 5 *s.
