Know before you buy
Yes, the adjustable strap is designed to be versatile, allowing you to wear it comfortably across your chest or around your waist.
The pack is designed with a 3-inch diameter, which fits most standard-sized water bottles. It is best suited for slim or standard bottles rather than wide-mouth or oversized containers.
The Water Sprite is made from water-resistant Packcloth. It will protect your belongings from light rain or splashes, but it is not intended to be submerged in water.
Maintenance is simple because the bag is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle and letting it air dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
The padding is designed to be lightweight and low-profile. It provides necessary comfort for extended wear without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to your gear.
