Happy Cow Guide To Choosing The Perfect Hands Free Bag

1. What will you be using the bag for?

Hands free bags are incredibly useful for a whole range of activities. Everything from walking to travelling to going out on the town. The purposes for which you will use your Happy Cow can be used to assist you in making your purchase. Some points to note:

• Walking & Other Physical Activities: You will want something small and light-weight. Choose a hands free bag that will not move excessively during physical activity and yet is large enough to hold your bare essentials. Something with an easily accessible zip pocket will be practical and secure whilst exercising.
• Travelling: We often recommend customers to purchase thief-proof bags which can be worn through belt loops (thereby making its removal without your knowledge almost impossible). Choose a Happy Cow with hidden inside zip pockets to ensure your valuables are out of reach from prying hands. Also don't forget to make sure there is a decent size pocket to fit your passport.
• Going Out & Music Festivals: For these activities it is best to choose something that will match with your style and at the same time provide enough space to store your valuables. A bag with eyelets along the belt might be preferable if you would like to clip on your keys to the belt.
• Day-to-Day Use: Choose something that will be comfortable and still have enough space to store your essentials. A hands free bag with a thin belt strap may be preferred as you will able to wear the bag as a replacement for a normal belt.

2. What do you need to carry with you?

Consider what you carry with you when you leave the house. This will go along way to helping you decide which Happy Cows to purchase. If you tend to carry only a few items then it is best to go with a smaller bag. If you carry many things with you take a look at our expandable hands free bags (ie: Waist Bags & Hip Bags). Another option is to downsize the amount you carry on you. We offer card organisers which can hold all your credit cards in replacement of a big wallet. We also have magic wallets which hold both your cash and cards in a small and fun case.

3. What added features are important to you?

Our range of hands free bags all have many unique features, so determining which features suit you will aid you in your decision. Some bags detach from the included belt strap, thereby allowing you to wear the belt on its own and also place the bag on a belt of your choice. Other styles offer hidden zip pockets and multiple compartments to help you get organised. A number of Happy Cows are also designed to be worn across the shoulder as well as around the waist. Some designs also have adjustable sizes so they can be worn by two people of different sizes. Check the product pages for all the information on the styles of your choice.
