Hey,

Looking for some advice on pump foil backpacks. I’m trying to decide between:

• ENSIS Hip Hop
• Indiana pump foil backpack
• Hike & Pump (Foil Envie / similar style)

My main use case is biking and longer walks (10–20+ min) to spots, not just car → dock.

From what I can tell:

• ENSIS seems to have the most developed harness (hip belt, padding, etc.)
• Indiana looks simpler/lighter
• Hike & Pump style bags seem minimalist but maybe less supportive

What I care about most:

• Comfort while biking (stability, not bouncing around)
• Weight distribution (does the hip belt actually carry load?)
• How annoying it is with foil parts mounted or strapped
• Durability over time

Lastly, anyone have any experience purchasing from these brands in North America, specially BC, Canada?

Any good options I missed?

Thanks!
