The lining bag from Pawzone made a very good impression in the test. The material is sturdy and the seams are very well made. Whether toys, treats, water bottle or spare collar, everything is clearly organised in the various compartments. It also has a well-protected mobile phone compartment. It also has the option of attaching different types of lead, so you have both hands free to use it on the bike, for example. The poo bag dispenser ensures that you are always well equipped. Thanks to the hip belt, you don’t have to hold the poo bag in your hand all the time or attach it to your trousers. As the belt is freely adjustable, you can also wear it over thick jackets without any problems. And if you happen to be out and about in the dark, the lining bag has a reflective strip sewn all the way round for your safety. A clear plus point in terms of sustainability, the bag is packed 100% plastic-free.
