Description

In town or on trail: you decide. 

Say what you like, Bum Bags are back and this time they are here to stay.

The Roo is our go everywhere bum bag, designed to be used either on its own, or as a compliment to your backpack when out hiking. In town or on trail: you decide. 

The Roo enables you to have everything you need, right there at your fingertips.

We use offcuts of fabric from our backpack production to make these, so each random Roo is completely unique.

Available in two size and colour options, The Roo is ready for action.

Zero Waste
These are hugely popular, and for good reason!

Multicoloured (Random) - exclusively sewn from offcuts and are sold as a lucky dip (no colour requests, please). The panels will likely be made out of multiple fabrics and colours, and our aim is to create a unique piece that minimises waste created from our other products.

Black - The Roo for any occasion - tactical, classy, wears well with a suit.

Made from a mix of fabrics (mostly EPX200 and VX21), with a 20mm soft feel nylon webbing strap, a Lycra powernet stretch pocket and YKK 5mm aquaguard zip.

The Roo's waistband circumference can be adjusted up to 120cm / 48".

Great waist pack

This is my second Roo and I have found both to be very well made and perfect for carrying those smaller items you need to access quickly, like: sun cream, lip salve, compass, folded map sections, etc. I also use the smaller one when dog walking because it’s ideal for carrying treats, whistles, poo bags etc.
Another great Atom Packs product. Thanks.

Great product and even better service

I ordered The ROO from Atom Packs and it was shipped quickly to the Netherlands. Somewhere along the way, PostNL lost the parcel. I sent a message to Atom Packs and got a response that same day. They told me they would send out a new one immediately and they actually did.

A few days later the replacement arrived, and to my surprise it included a handwritten card that said “Sorry it got lost.” That small personal touch really made an impression.

The product itself is great. The materials feel strong and lightweight, exactly what I was looking for. The stitching is neat and precise, and the design shows real attention to detail. It fits well, feels comfortable, and clearly comes from people who know their craft.

Good gear and a company that stands behind what they make. I highly recommend them.

An extension to my new rucksack

Love the whole colour thing going on. Similar to my new rucksack, the Prospector, a bespoke colour scheme.
Takes the place of a handbag, when travelling, in a slightly quirky way.

Surprise!

What an absolute joy on opening the package not knowing what colour mix I’d receive, to find the perfect mix.

Love it, and it is so practical and comes on all walks now. Perfect place for my phone, snacks and other essentials that I need close at hand.
