Snugpak Response Pak

This is a very strange bag, you just keep puttin stuff in it, and it all fits !! And if the internal space is not enough, there are ample places to hang extra pouches, knives, kitchen sinks, etc on the outside. When I unpacked it, was less than impressed.. then I started packing it, and it just swallows stuff ! Its got a stove and gas, towel, shaving kit, large SAK, emergency tent, bivi bag, torch, fire kit, trioxane tabs, compass, whistle....... the list goes on ! You are not going to beat this bag for the price. Top this off with the excellent service.... Its a win/win.

Great bag, loads of room inside and you can wear it as a bumbag without looking too odd because of it's tacticool style.

It's a perfect in between size for when pockets are not enough and a daysack is too much.

As well as a waistpack I've been clipping it to the strap of a messenger bag so essentials are right in front of you without having to rummage around a bigger bag.

A word of caution - as well as the zips there is a clip that secures over the zips. I bought one of these for my wife and she didn't secure the clips and she got her purse dipped while looking after our 2 year old. I'm sure everybody on here is streetwise enough not to make that mistake though.

Oh yeah and it's so cheap. It's more difficult to find reasons not to buy than to buy.

Has an awful lot of space without being too big and can actually fit a lot in there.

I have it set up for all the smaller gear that you would need in a mini camping set, including a full sized knife, a folding saw, paracord, mini medical kit, torch, cutlery set, multitool, an all in one compass/whistle/mirror/storage, firesteel, lighter, tinder & other fuel (gel plus solid), batteries, notepad, pen/pencil, glow sticks and still have more space.

Plenty of loops to have things from, and I have, a mini folding spade and plan on filling up the other loops.

Very good for its size!

I bought it mainly for camping but I think I'll end up using it all the time.
Not too big, not too small. And I'm surprised by how sturdy the fabric is.

When a regular bum bag is not enough and a back pack would be too much, this is - in my opinion - the best.

As a side note, the sliders on the zippers make an annoying sound so I removed them all and replaced them with paracord. Now it's perfect.

My wife got this bag for me last year as a gift and I have to say it gets used all the time. Away for an overnight it takes a change of undies, shave & tooth kit, playbook, my meds (type 2 diabetic) wallet, phone, keys - it's awesome! Camping it takes all my emergency gear inc whistle, torch and 1st Aid in bum-bag mode.

I use this to carry my lures when I go pike fishing. Its handy because I can put it round my waist and wade out to where I want to fish. Having all my lures on me means I don't have to go back and forth to my tackle box everytime I want to change my lure which saves me alot of time. Pros: very cheap, roomy compartments and quality stitching/materials. Cons: not waterproof.

I have had none of the issues with the strap previously mentioned, this bag is in perfect nick! Great little bag with a nice amount of space. I have my essentials stored in it and have it molle strapped onto my rucksack when camping out. I then detach this little TARDIS and head out with only my basic kit if I need to roam around. With some creative packing you really can stuff this thing full! Easily recommend for the price. 5* product with Heinnie's 5* service. Every order I have placed (and thats quite a few!) has arrived the next day, impressed doesn't even come close. Keep it up guys.

1stly when you do a product search in googles froogle Heinnie are always in the top % for best price from a reputable online company.....2ndly I hate being ripped off for shipping and again Heinnie offer free shipping on all products. 3rdly Great communications with e-mail, I was told that my item was in stock and had been despatched and was expected to take 2-5 days, item arrived well packaged in 2 days !!! what an amazing service so well done and thank you for that. Now for the Snugpak review, well made, roomy, loads of pockets and compartments and different options for carrying styles absolute magic...and the best feature for me of all is the fact that worn on the waist as a bum bag it is very subtle and not in your face at all which I really like, always a bit self conscious of looking like a nutter when walking my dog...Lol

Bought this for a daughter to go hill walking with her bloke (who carries most of the kit). She said she feels a bit 'unprepared' so I've bought this bag for her to carry some emergency bits 'n' bobs - torch, knife, whistle, survival blanket etc. and there are more than enough pockets, pouches and straps to take all she'll need (and more)as well as offering a choice of ways to carry it. Build quality looks good, price is very good and Heinnie's service was very good, too. I'm happy and hope my daughter will be as well. Might even have one for myself yet.

I took this bag with me to V festival where I was working as security for the weekend, and it did not disappoint.
I managed to store all my essential weekend/festival kit with no problems whatsoever.

Toiletries
First Aid
Change of underwear and socks
Towels
Sun Cream
Pens
Notepad
Duct tape
5 x Protein Bars
Pocket Knife

I've had no issues with build quality and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a small and functional pack for their essential items.

At first sight, this item seems like a great product but on closer inspection it falls down badly.

Some of the stitching had already come apart before I even opened the packaging. Interesting that it has the same damage as "Mark from Cheshire" in his review, "Webbing strap on outer pocket pulled out of the seam it was stitched into."

Pros: Super cheap and has lots of pockets/storage space.

Cons: It's poor quality build.

Overall: Knowing what I know now, in the future I'll invest in something higher spec; proof again that you get what you pay for. In one word - Cheap.

very nice pack, perfect for day trips or very light over nighters. no problems with construction whatsoever [although zips are quite loud- will be replacing with paracord]
brilliant service from heinnie: ordered Sunday evening and arrived Tuesday morning.

Nicely made and very, very usefull. I bought this for use as a large bum-bag for our holiday. This waste-pack is perfect for my second use! Lure fishing the rock mark's of the Gower coast. I'm confident it will hold some food, a few lures/spinners, a spare spool, my mobile phone, head torch,camera, car keys, folding knife, sun tan lotion, shades, and plastic bag for the ones that didn't get away 8>)
I would imagine it would be perfect for cyclists or runners too or any activity when a ruck sack or bag would be to restrictive.
The price is pretty cheap for a named product too.

Excellent piece of kit. Well worth the money. I pack amongst other things, Carmera and cable-wallet-Travel documents-Sand goggles-sunglasses-Multitool-iridium-notebook & pen-GPS-Batteries-paracord. Thanks Heinnie

Beware of expensive imitations!

Webbing strap on outer pocket pulled out of the seam it was stitched into.The item clipped onto it was lost (the reason for 1 star).Would only trust this pack with very light use.I use it mainly to protect my Jet boil cooker and a few odds and ends.

There seems to be pricing issue with this pack, there is way too much bag for the money.

I use my Pak as a bail out bag and have managed to fit in a 24 hrs rat pack, survival blanket, first aid kit, hexi stove, compass, spork, firesteel, firetin, wipes, coffee sachets, lighter, paracord, sharpie and other essentials. The bag still isn't full. The MOLLE attachments are asking for a small fixed blade knife with kydex sheath to be attached (RAT Cutlery Izula maybe). The waist strap can be tucked away into a flap at the back of the pak which leaves a grab handle to be used.

It sits comfortably on the waist either at the front or back and has the added ability to take something like a folding saw under the grab handle.

An awesome little bail out / FAK / survival / manbag.

When this thing first arrived I didn't think it would be big enough. I bought it with the intention of making it a bug out bag, and so I was going to fill it with survival and camping gear and chuck it in my car boot. I was shocked how much stuff fits in this little thing, no way is this thing a 'bumbag' or 'fanny pack', it's great!

A very versatile piece of kit. Very comfortable even after a days mountain biking plenty of storage for its size and promises to be usefull in many situations.

Using mine for a cycling pack, locks, tools, spares, and with the molle webbing everything else you could need can be fastened to it. Also very good quality and cheap for what you get.

This is a cheaper version of the maxpedition proteus. Offered at fraction of the price, still offers good and soft materials and good finishes.
Recommended.

Thanks Heinnie for getting this to me this is a very handy pack to have allot of compartments and allot of spaces to fill just now its because my contingency pack for the car with the weather.

A brilliant bit of kit I managed to fit a poncho,survival tin and pouch, multi tool,first aid kit and knife with still lots of room for more also very comfortable to wear.

Very well made , and has several potential uses - two or three of these form a useful improvised belt kit.
(survival kit,medical kit,gun kit,comms...)
slotted into/thru each other - you want to stop the tomcat bell sound? (remove the paracord zip helpers untie them* - snip off the metal zip pulls - re-attache your paracord helpers - now you dont sound like a tomcat when you run with it on ;) ... they are so good i suspect they will sell out soon.

I was a little concerned when I unwrapped this - it seemed really small..Totally wrong - its like the Tardis - ideal for a day hike to pack your food, drink and EDC Gear. Brilliant and great service as usual from HH
