Mentalita Ultras Bum Bag, Yellow Print

Yellow Mentalita Ultras lettering on a hip bag

Italian for the attitude of the terrace: MENTALITA' sits on the upper line, written with an apostrophe in place of an accent, and ULTRAS large beneath it. The type is narrow and angular, the U almost reading as a V. Everything is printed in a strong yellow that catches the eye on dark and coloured cloth alike.

Yellow over seven fabrics

The bag is listed in royal blue, red, burgundy, grey and black, plus Midnight Camo and Jungle Camo as the two camouflage options. Royal blue and black give the sharpest contrast, while red and burgundy make a warmer pairing.

For the ground, the gig and the festival

Anyone who dislikes full trouser pockets while singing and jumping straps this on instead. The main compartment has room for keys and small items; the zipped pocket at the rear keeps change together.

Measurements, compartments, strap

The same 600D polyester goes into all seven versions. The outside measures 38 on 14 on 8 centimetres, the capacity a good two and a half litres, enough for cards, coins and a phone, too little for a water bottle. The buckle brings the webbing to hip or shoulder length, and each of the two compartments has a zip of its own. The yellow of the print stays identical throughout, so the seven bags differ only in their ground colour. Anyone out without a jacket in summer still has somewhere for the essentials.
