The Anfibio Buddy expands our packing series with a large hip or bum bag. As big brother of the Anfibio MobilPack, it closes the gap between the Anfibio DeckPack (bow/stern/shoulder bag) and the Anfibio Companion (daypack). Like the other, the Anfibio Buddy provides reliable protection against water, dust, and unauthorized access. Especially when separated from your main luggage (drifted boat, lost backpack, inaccessible suitcase), wearing it directly on your body provides security for personal valuables.
Characteristics
The Anfibio Buddy comes with a simple design and many details:
-
Practical: With a capacity of 5 liters, the zippered Buddy offers enough room for all kind of (emergency) things such as a repair and first aid kit, rescue equipment, keys, mobile phone, passport, money, GPS, binoculars or snacks. For paddlers, a throw line bag or a tow line will stay handy and - if unused - dry (anyone who has ever had to dry an unused throw line after paddling will appreciate this).
-
Safe: If you go into the water on purpose or by accident, the content of your Buddy remains 100% dry and safely stored on your body. This is also very helpful in rain, sand, and splashy water!
-
Versatile: Whether you're cycling, hiking, packrafting or on your SUP, having the Buddy below your life jacket, in front of your backpack, on your lab, belly or bum, or wearing it over your shoulder in the city - the hip bag can be quickly and easily adjusted for all activities and different people.
-
Sorted: There are two small separate pockets and a key ring inside so that valuables have a fixed place.
Use
Wherever things get wet, dusty or unsafe the Anfibio Buddy really plays to its strengths! From heavy rain showers in the city, triathlon competitions or wild swimming to packrafting adventures on your doorstep and in isolated regions. Thanks to IPX7 waterproofness up to one metre under water, whatever's in the hip 'bum' bag always stays dry.
Paddling on lakes, white water rivers or along sea coasts, our hip bag becomes an important safety accessory, keeping essential items such as a wallet, mobile phone, first aid kit always close to your body. This means that these items remain at hand, even if your are in the water and separated from the boat.
Further applications
The Buddy is not only a faithful companion for all common water sports such as packrafting, SUP, sailing, wild swimming, kayaking or rowing. The hip bag also quickly becomes irreplaceable for other (outdoor) activities, such as motorbike tours, fishing, trail running or when travelling in humid, such as tropical regions.
Care with lubricant
To keep the zipper of the bag operating smoothly and to increase its lifetime, we recommend treating it occasionally with silicone grease.
Remove any remaining grease with a cloth to prevent dirt particles from sticking to the teeth. This could lead to leakage.
Material
Like our boats, the material of the hip bag is made of TPU-coated nylon. This makes the Anfibio Buddy particularly light and extremely robust at the same time.
Conclusion
This Buddy will literally be your best ‘buddy’ in everyday life and when travelling.
