Looking for a pack I can wear on my waist - due to recently broken collarbone I don’t want to wear a conventional backpack. Off to Morzine soon sans bike so walking it is! As I’ll prob never use again after this trip I’m not looking to spend much - £30-ish - but it must to be able to carry 2 water bottles, stash a small waterproof and some energy bars. Wondered if anyone could recommend anything or seen anything around in sales etc...TIA.

Have a look at ultra vests or belts, will be far more suited to your needs and loads more options as well.

How about a single sided pack ?
single sling

FH - that would be over my dodgy bone 😉

Just spotted this...anyone tried one? Gets decent reviews....and a bladder for £20.

@rascal - where are you based? I'm sure you could loan one off here

Should be options available from the likes of: OMM, Nathan, Ultimate Direction, Osprey, Lowe Alpine and possibly Pete Bland.

Thanks ElShalimo - in Loughborough.
I don't mind paying £20 TBH...just didn't want to get a fancypants one for north of £50.
Plus not sure how many would lend kit to a complete stranger 😉

Having used various waist packs for long distance running, I have found cheap karrimor ones from sports direct to be as good as expensive brand ones
