I have two other fanny packs for general use, but this is terrific for travel, areas of high population density including stores, and when carrying valuable items that we really want to keep safe. Bought for an overseas trip to carry my passport and credit cards with RFID so that those information chips would be protected, to carry most of my cash, and my medium size camera stuff. It's a little tight to get an SLR with 2 lenses inside, but it works. Great product from Amazon where I was able to compare with "similar" item.
