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!
