Just 3 days after ordering a custom hipbag from
Arvin of ABNORMAL, this arrived at my doorstep. It is really great to know that when you see a product elsewhere but it's too expensive, there's someone who can not only customize it for you, but make it much better.
Pictured above is the basis of how I wanted the hipbag to look like. I redesigned the dimensions so that I can fit in my hand pump, a patch kit, and a shirt when I bike to work.
Here are the
specifics:
Width: 19cm (bottom) / 25cm (top)
Height: 14 cm
Depth: 3cm
Material: Ballistic Nylon
It has a removable belt strap, so there's always
the option of strapping it onto any of my belts. The bag is so well-made, all
stitches and linings look solid, and the materials used will definitely take
any abuse you throw at it. And it definitely looks freaking good. He even
customized the color of his logo!
Last night was a real test. After our traditional
Wednesday Night Ride, there was a sudden downpour while riding in the middle of Pasig City going to Cainta. I was so drenched, even my socks got wet. But because of the strong, waterproof material used on the bag, I was able to secure my things especially my mobile phone.
So if you're in need of custom bags and power straps,
you know who to contact.
Watch out as we would definitely see more stuff from him.
