Randi Jo Fabrications, the esteemed Oregon-based bag maker, has unveiled an updated version of their Portage Hip Pack, now featuring a more durable 7-ounce sailcloth fabric and four vibrant new colorways. This refined design maintains the pack’s classic waxed canvas construction and minimalist aesthetic, free from unnecessary pockets, hardware, or flapping straps. The Portage Hip Pack is now available in six color combinations, catering to a diverse range of styles.
The Portage Hip Pack is perfectly sized to accommodate a DSLR camera and a light layer. It features an expandable roll-top with snap and Fidlock magnetic buckle closures, a wide 1.5-inch webbing waist strap with two adjustment points, MOLLE rear webbing for attachment to handlebars, a hidden back pocket to stow straps when used as a bar bag, and interior and exterior zippered pockets. Constructed from 10.10- and 7-ounce canvas, the pack includes a diamond-ripstop-coated lining with 1/8-inch closed-cell foam insulation to protect cargo and maintain its shape. It fits up to a 40-inch waist, with custom sizes available upon request.
Weighing approximately 12.8 ounces and measuring 11 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep (with an expandable 5-inch roll-top), the Portage Hip Pack is priced at $125. All bags are made to order by the small family crew of Randi, Joan, and Eric, with an 8-10-week production timeline.
