Here I am with my gossamer gear bag that I have the fast belt attached to as well as the LT five hiking poles. Everything they make is gold.
I sure love my Gossamer packs! The fast belt is so easy to attach and quite comfy! The pockets are easy to access and can hold a perfect amount of odds and ends that I need to reach in a hurry. I love that it fits so many of their packs, it was a no-brainer for me to get one. Kudos to Gossamer for this design, and you absolutely cannot beat the price!
Bought the Loris for a 2 week 200 mile Camino starting in Portugal and the fast belt was perfect! Removed it for the flights and fits so easy in very little space. The fast belt holds so much stuff! Love the stretchy fabric and kept my pack nicely off my shoulders !
Added this to my Osprey 26+6 pack. It is perfect! I had to sew a couple of loops onto the waist should strap tabs on the osprey but it makes this hip belt perfect. I would like to try one of these packs someday.
Belt is excellent, I just wish the pocket's weren't mesh. Anything you put in them will collect snow when you put your pack down or get wet if it rains or the ground is wet. Otherwise a great add on!
I love the flexibility of being able to use a waist belt or not. I like how easy it is to remove or add and I've enjoyed the pockets. This belt and the Loris 25 are a fantastic combination!
Awesome pack belt that I've found multiple uses for. It's almost universal - I can transfer it from one pack to another but also use it on my load bearing vest which is great for a shorter hike where a whole pack isn't necessary. Sleek design and very utilitarian, great quality too. Plus, you can't beat the price!
This little belt with pockets will work out perfectly for both an add on hip belt and as a stand-alone when I just need to carry things that won't fit in my pants pockets. Small but mighty !
The fastbelt is awesome. Attaches easily to my Loris 25 pack I just bought. You can store chapstick, or tissues to grab quickly without digging into your pack. Most importantly, I'm able to store my inhaler (asthma) for quick easy access. I would definitely recommend the fastbelt.
A hip belt is a must have for me. Purchased to use with the Loris. It fits perfectly and does not slide or compress me as so many other belts do with my large size. Ample size pockets.
Bought this to replace the belt on the Zerk40. I figured if I was going to use the pack with a belt, it may as well be a belt with pockets at a 1oz weight penalty. The Zerk's stock belt was 1.5" while this belt is 1". I was still able to hook it onto the packs larger loops. The Fastbelt is extremely comfortable and it's amazing how much stuff you can shove in the pockets. Durability may be an issue in the long run since the pockets are mainly a thin stretchy material. I have a 32" waist. If my waist was 4" smaller, it probably would be too big.
All in all, it's a very comfortable belt that adds to my on trail storage which MAY have durability and sizing issues (depending on your waist size) that I am glad I purchased.
Super useful belt bag for all of Gossamer's backpacks!
This belt is comfortable and fantastic to use! I got this for my Vagabond Jet and I wish this was in black. I used a Rit black dye to dye this black and it's now perfect now that it matches the Vagabond Jet colors
Sleak and Minimalist
Comfort. Simple. Durable.
This belt deceptively large with it's stretchy pockets, - but is still too small for today's ubiquitous comically over-sized smart phone.
Nice amount minimal padding for UL loads.
Upgrade
Got my hands on an older version of the GG Kumo with the 1” webbing belt. Bought this to upgrade it and am happy I did. I was able to attach it to the two webbing loops and just cut off the two buckles that were used to attach the original belt. This made the pack more comfortable and the pockets are perfect for my snacks, sunscreen, etc.
easy to add to any bag
I got a cheap little bag (25L) on amazon and was able to easily attach this to get myself a bit more padding and some nice hip pockets.
I was concerned my bag might be that one weird bag that somehow isn't compatible but there are lots of different ways to attach this product and doing so was actually quite easy.
Perfect Addition
I have three fast belts that I use interchangeably on GG packs and others. Easy to switch, great quality and lightweight. The perfect hiking accessory. GG makes nothing but the best.
Sleek and efficient
Bought this for my Zerk 40... while the strap (and hence the clips) are slightly narrower than the OEM waist belt, it fits with just a little encouragement, and carries well.
The pockets open easily with one hand, and closes almost the whole way easily with one hand.
Pockets aren't big enough to hold a larger phone, but are great for snacks, headlamp, etc.
Perfect for a zPacks Nero
I traded out the simple, 1" waist straps/belt that came with my zPacks Nero with the Gossamer Gear Fast Belt and they worked great! Took all of 30 seconds to clip in both sides. I like that the Gossamer Gear Fast Belt gives me a little more padding since the pockets have a bit of mesh and padding on the back side. A great purchase and upgrade for sure.
Fast belt
I added the fast belt to my type2 26 summit pack for a little stability and a handy place for my compass and headlamp. Works great on my vagabond jet and my wife’s vagabond trail as well.
Fast Belt upgrade
Bought this for an REI daypack, to replace its 1" nylon belt. The Fast Belt fit perfectly and easily onto the pack, no mods or sewing needed. The belt performs as I had hoped, transferring the pack weight from my shoulders to my hips. The pockets are great for carrying snacks, etc. The quality and workmanship are top notch No regrets at all on this purchase.
Really improves the Vagabond packable
This well made item turned my packable Vagabond into a legitimate day hiker that can haul 10-12 pounds comfortably.
Good addition to my pack.
Easy to attach to the pack (or remove). Comfortable and lightweight. I'm a big fan of waist belt pockets and these are roomy.
