Great pack!

Rating:****
I use this product for short day hikes (1-2 hours) with my dog. It is big enough for rain gear, a few snacks, and one quart of water. It has two zippered pouches: one big enough for rain pants and jacket and the other specifically designed for a CD player with weatherproof hole for earbuds.
I chose this pack because of its small size. It is limited because it only carries two pints of water.
Steve the climber at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 06/06/2008

It's Great!

Rating:*****
I'm a long-distance walker and I needed a fanny pack that was roomy, comfortable and very portable. I have the option of strapping it around my waist or using the handle to hang it on my shoulder. I have a place to put my rainslicker on the pack that I can easily get to and use my slicker in case there's a sudden storm.
Lori the Walker at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 09/08/2008

All around good fanny Pack

Rating:****
I primarily use this for short hikes in warmer weather. Although I did not buy this to run with the few times I had to jog to catch up or go get the dog out of something the water bottles danced around way too much in the holders. Other then that a good purchase.
Iceaxe at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 08/30/2009

Perfect for day hiking or boating

Rating:****
This was replacement fannypack. Very good choice. Perfect for day hiking or boating. Probably would not use the shoulder straps but they are removable. There really is nothing not to like. Can even use your iPod without worrying.

Lumbar Pack

Excellent choice for me. used it to replace my small carryon for the plane trip. It handled my camera + all the paperwork for the trip and the hiking we did around New Mexico

Other Reviews:

"I am training to walk 60 miles in October for Breast Cancer and I bought this pack to wear for the walk. I was a little hesitant to buy a fanny pack but due to neck injuries I am unable to wear a backpack. This is not your usual fanny pack, it is much cooler than that. I have been training with it and have worn it to walk up to 18 miles at a time. It is very comfortable and seems to hold everything I need nicely. It also looks pretty good which is always a plus. Overall, a great purchase."

"It was difficult to shell out the $50 for this when I saw this for less than half this price elsewhere. Problem is I cant handle red and really wanted a color to match my hiking boots. It is very comfortable and love how the front pocket has soft fleece like material so I can store my sunglasses and cell phone without scratches. The pack is large enough for a day hike without weighing me down."
Anonymous Customer from Helena, MT at eBags.com on 08/23/2009
"I am going to use this as my purse in Europe. It has enough room and several dividers and pockets where I can organize my things."
Carol from Folsom, CA at eBags.com on 08/24/2009
"This bag not only looks good , it is very functional. These bags are the best and can hold much more than they look like."

good bag

Rating:***
this bag is small, but great to carry around campus. I'm a college student and when all i want to carry around is my water bottle and keys, its great. I don't use the waist belt, but i do use the over the shoulder strap which is nice. I barely notice i have it on. the design is good with perfect compartments for storage of small things.
