What size Ukoala should I get?

Size by height: Compact for 4'9"–5'2", Standard for 5'3"–5'9", and Expanded for 5'10" and up. About 80% of customers choose Standard, and if you are between sizes, choose Standard. Sizes vary by style, so check the product page.

Can I wear a Ukoala to work?

Yes. Wear it as a shoulder bag or cross-body at the office and switch to a hip bag or backpack after. The Computer Backpack adds a padded laptop compartment in waxed canvas with leather accents.

Is a hip bag comfortable for all-day wear?

A Ukoala carries the load at your waist, and the U-shaped base curves to your body so the weight settles in close instead of hanging from one point. The optional Ergo Pad adds cushioning where the belt meets your hip.

How do I care for my Ukoala?

Spot clean with mild soap and water and air dry; do not machine wash. Re-wax waxed-canvas models once a year to keep them water-resistant.

Does every Ukoala come with a leg strap?

Yes. Every Ukoala bag ships with a detachable leg strap, and every bag is built on the patented U-shaped strap system. A spare Leg Strap is sold separately in Standard and Longer lengths.

Everyday Carry Bags

An everyday hands-free bag should carry your phone, wallet, keys, and a few extras without a strap digging into one shoulder. Ukoala bags ride at the hip, across the body, or on your back, and a patented U-shaped base keeps the load close. Pick a size by height: Compact, Standard, or Expanded.

What to look for in an everyday carry bag

01
Organization
Separate pockets mean no digging.
Ukoala: The Phoenix and Yeti have 9 pockets across five layers.
02
Comfort for all-day wear
Weight should sit close to your body, not hang off one point.
Ukoala: The U-shaped base and calculated strap geometry keep the load balanced; the Ergo Pad adds cushioning at the hip.
03
More than one way to wear it
A bag that moves from hip to cross-body to backpack covers errands, work, and weekends.
Ukoala: The Phoenix, Yeti, Black Ops, Yukon, and 2 Faces convert between all 8 wear styles.
04
A look you will wear daily
Material and color matter as much as pockets.
Ukoala: Nylon, waxed canvas, vintage cotton canvas, or genuine leather, in many colorways.

How Ukoala’s strap works

Every Ukoala starts from the same patented U-shaped strap system. Your bag comes with two detachable straps: a wider main strap that clips on at the top as your waist or shoulder strap, and a slimmer leg strap that clips on at the bottom.

Re-route those two straps with the quick-release buckles and the same bag moves between wear styles — no tools and no extra parts. Learn it once and every mode follows.
