Test: Hip bags are known to be very controversial. Some love it, others smile at it. But does a hip bag like this hold up on the trail or does it literally slide back and forth and not stay in place? Velomotion took a closer look at the Mavic Crossride hip bag and tested it for you.
Do a little after-work lap, but you don't want to take the big backpack with you? Mavic may have a solution for you here - the Mavic Crossride Hip Bag is designed to be the perfect companion for after-work rides.
Integrated baggy short/hydration belt system:
For everyone who wears a matching Mavic Short - the drinking belt offers an integrated baggy short system that ensures a seamless connection to the Crossride Short, thereby increasing stability.
Easy access to luggage and hydration compartment:
The Mavic Crossride Hip Bag contains specially designed compartments and pockets - for a mini pump, mini tool, house keys, smartphone and money. It also has a separate drinking compartment - the ergonomic 3D drinking bottle has a volume of 600 ml and was patented by Mavic.
Mavic Crossride waist pack - will it hold up or will it fall?
So why actually buy a hip bag? The advantages are clearly the ventilation in summer and the plus in freedom of movement. Difficulties often lie in the stability and fit of the hip belt. They like to slide up and down. But not with the Mavic Crossride hip bag. The special triangular shape of the hip bag is chosen so that it is hardly noticeable on the hips and stays in place very well.
The strap is very long, fits all body types and did not loosen during testing. The zippers can be opened easily, but do not open by themselves. You have to pay 70 euros for the hip bag, but we would wish for a silicone coating that would prevent it from completely slipping. We would also like slightly larger pockets, in which a thin jacket can be easily stowed away. The supplied bottle does not necessarily have to be used, common drinking bottles also fit here and hold just as well.
