Like all Melawear products, this hip bag is made from renewable natural materials. In contrast to models made of leather, the cotton canvas ensures that the hip bag is lightweight and not bulky. The strap is also made of cotton canvas, slightly stronger than the one used for the body and long enough to allow the hip bag to be worn cross-body. It is infinitely adjustable and can be easily adapted to any hip up to a maximum circumference of 140 cm. The large main compartment and a small compartment at the back close with a zipper. The canvas is very tightly woven and therefore naturally water-repellent (to a certain extent) and quick-drying. If you want to reinforce or refresh the water-repellent effect of the cotton canvas, Melawear recommends a GOTS-certified waterproofing spray.
