Review: The right bag for me - I did a lot of research prior to getting this bag, and after all of that, this bag has been the right bag for my purposes. It's well built, spacious, and has several good carrying options. I replaced the shoulder strap and pad with a 2.5" piece of webbing (personal preference) from the local climbing store. The waist band tucks into the back-padding, and I got another little piece of webbing and ran it across the pad to keep everything in place (there were eyelets already in the needed places). The YKK zippers are nice and big and sturdy, and the back has some straps that you can adjust to really suck the bag in close to your back, which is critical. The bag itself is pretty straight forward - few bells and whistles, just does what it's supposed to and does it well. I've been really pleased with it. My uncle has the same bag that he got a while ago, and apparently they used to have some adjustable drawstrings, instead of the flat elastic, for the water bottle pouches. He says he likes the draw strings better, and I can see why he would - it can be tricky getting your water bottle back into the pouches with the flat elastic. I'm not afraid to mod this thing though, and if/when the flat elastic fails (or when I decide it's too much of a pain), I'll put my own drawstring in there. Review: Great utility & quality, good for bad backs! - I bought this item for a two-week trip I took to Peru where I would be walking and hiking a ton. My back is in such disrepair (compression, bulging discs, arthritis, cracked transverse processes and scoliosis) that I was afraid to wear a backpack on my walks. So I chose this. It was amazing! First of all it did not strain my back at all. I was able to walk pain-free for the entire two weeks. Next, as others have said, it's very well made. I wore it every day, all day. I filled it and used it continuously. The zippers and all parts held up as if it were brand new. Very tough and durable. In addition, the thing holds a ton. It is a bit large for a fanny pack but it holds a ton. I was able to put the following in: a lightweight long sleeve shirt for layering, a thick travel book, money & passport, cell phone, small purchases like jewelry and small dolls, other miscellaneous things. And I was able to also use it to secure my fleece through the outside straps. Lastly it has just about every feature I could imagine useful! A strap to wear it over my shoulder like a purse, a strap for my waist if I wore it that way, outside bungies to secure things, synch straps to hold the pack snuggly to my body, water repellency, zippers that repel water, tough zippers that don't jam, padding for comfort and air flow... The only drawback I see to this bag screams "TOURIST" if you use it in a city... but what fanny pack doesn't? :-) ## Features - Made from 450d ReForge™ PET RipStop body fabric (100% Recycled) - Zippered main compartment has zippered hanging pocket and bright yellow lining for visibility; also features a zippered front panel pocket - Removable shoulder strap with a sliding pad, tuck-away waist belt and air mesh foam back panel - Delta Compression System load adjustment with two compression straps - 2 water bottle pockets that accommodate 32 oz water bottles; reflective highlights - Made of 100 percent recycled water and beverage bottles; four bottles make each bag ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B005LUTPLY | | Brand Name | Mountainsmith | | Color | Heritage Cobalt | | Country Of Origin | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (180) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | September 8, 2011 | | Item Dimensions Lxwxh | 5 x 11.5 x 10 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L X W X H | 14.09 x 10.94 x 2.76 inches | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Mountainsmith | | Material | Nylon | | Model Year | 2012 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Outer Material | Nylon | | Package Weight | 1.7 pounds | | Part Number | 12-10037R-04 | | Sport Type | Hiking | | Style | Classic | ## Images ![Mountainsmith Lumbar-Recycled Series Tour TLS R Backpack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1FS+-GVBCL.jpg) ![Mountainsmith Lumbar-Recycled Series Tour TLS R Backpack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cI4iLe4oL.jpg) ![Mountainsmith Lumbar-Recycled Series Tour TLS R Backpack - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91F0d+o27oL.jpg) ![Mountainsmith Lumbar-Recycled Series Tour TLS R Backpack - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BdA5AAsbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right bag for me *by I***R on February 11, 2013* I did a lot of research prior to getting this bag, and after all of that, this bag has been the right bag for my purposes.

Except those bottle pockets... *by B***T on September 10, 2015* It almost every respect this is a great bag. Its versatile, durable, and well built using quality materials. The size of this bag is such that it works great as a lumbar pack. However, the size and design of this make it extremely functional as shoulder bag as well. I've found this bag to be equally at home as a lumbar day pack as it is as a diaper bag for the kid. With a heavy load, used as a lumbar pack, the optional strappetes are pretty much essential, otherwise you'll have to cinch this thing down so tight, it just wont be comfortable. With the strapettes you get a first rate, incredibly comfortable daypack with a lower center of gravity, better ventilation on your back than with a traditional pack. I've used this in day length adventure races up to 24hrs, and love it... except for that one thing. This is a 4 star bag because of the bottle pouches. I feel that everything about this bag says that it should be able to securely and comfortably fit 2 1 liter nalgene type bottles... And it does. However, to get those bottles in without removing the bag or shifting it to the front, you are going to have to do some serious gymnastics with your fingers, and even then it will be tight. Using smaller bottles works fine too, 22 oz sport bottles are great, and you can get the bottles in and out with relative ease, however going smaller gets you the opposite problem of having less security. If you plan on using this pack hard, there is a very high likelihood that you are going to lose bottles. The ideal bottle for these pockets are probably 16oz disposable water bottles, but I just feel like limiting yourself to ~32oz of water really limits the potential for this bag. That being said, Dr. Browns baby bottles are also basically perfect, again with the diaper bag plug. The pockets need about 1-2 more inches of depth, and just ever so slightly less tension in the elastic. The one additional thing I would love to see is some thought to accommodating a hydration bladder. I can comfortably fit a 2L bladder in the bag sidewise, but I would love some type of structure to secure it a little better, and separate it from the rest of the bag. If you're not planning on running through thick woods or stumbling over gnarly terrain, and you no need or desire to use 1L Nalgenes, you really cant go wrong here. This is easily one of the most versatile bags I own, its not hard to find a use for it. If this wasn't being used as a diaper bag currently it would work equally well as a laptop bag for the 11 inch Lenovo Thinkpad I use for work. Extremely well thought out design... except for those pesky side pockets... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1255615-mountainsmith-lumbar-recycled-series-tour-tls-r-backpack](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1255615-mountainsmith-lumbar-recycled-series-tour-tls-r-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
