I found this waist pack in a luggage store at a local mall.  It was very pricey, the store was selling it at list price.  I found it on Amazon for much less and after using my old fanny pack for about 20 years, I took the plunge and bought this one to replace it.  I've used it many times already.  I bought the medium size one which is more comparable in size to the one I had before.  I bought it in black, although I really like the red clay/gray as well.  I like the outside front zip pocket.  It's a nice size.  The main compartment has dual zippers which I absolutely love.  It also has an inside zip compartment and a key fob to clip your keys on.  Love that feature as well.  I'm only 5'4" so it sits a little high when its on my waist, but I love the rectangle shape.  The padding on the back keeps it from being limp when you have a lot in it or take it off and lay it down.  And the mesh side pockets will hold about a 16 oz store bought water bottle.  I put off buying a new one for many years because I couldn't find what I wanted.  I'm glad I waited because I found this one and its absolutely wonderful.
