Ergon BA Hip Pack I Ergonomic Benefits

The BA Hip Back is designed to meet the highest demands of enduro, all-mountain and gravel terrain and provide the perfect balance of ergonomics and ride comfort. Presented by Alex from product development. Due to the lack of a back plate, standard hip packs tend to shift when ridden in technical terrain. Ergon solves this common complaint with a wide, slip resistant hip belt combined with a unique compression system that provides a reliable and stable fit. The compression system is a twist mechanism that the rider can easily adjust with one hand, securing pack essentials or even a hydration bladder safely and unnoticeably to the body.

I would love to have smaller version with same features

Instead of a phone, can you put a 21oz water bottle in the right mesh pocket?

For short rides, I don’t want to always be using a bladder.

I currently use an Evoc Pro 3 pack, and I think this Ergon BA is very similar in ALL the good ways, except for one thing - the waist buckle is too large. The Evoc uses a clincher strap and buckle that is about 1/2 the width, so when you are in the riding position, you won't feel the hard plastic buckle in your gut (as a 56 year old with a small bit of belly). The large plastic buckle would definitely be noticeable when in the riding position for folks who don't have perfect 6-pack abdominals. Sizing the strap and buckle to 1/2 the size will still perform the same, yet provide much more comfort. That said, very clever features for storing parts, snacks, etc. and the velcro strap to keep the phone in the side pocket is a truly fantastic feature I wish my Evoc Pro 3 pack had!

I looked in a few places on the net and I can't find any info on waterproofing. Is the main compartment waterproof?
