Because of a back injury I am advised not to carry things like wallets, etc in my pants pockets, so I had been looking for a way to ditch the dorky, but necessary, fannypack for some time now. This product has done away with the need for it. Lightweight, plenty of space for keys, wallet, checkbook, etc, and depending upon what I am wearing barely noticeable at first glance. When it is noticed I have gotten compliments on it, rather than a subtle roll of the eyes I sometimes got when reaching into the old pack.

The downside is its durability which other reviewers have commented on. A few months ago I started having problems with one of the zippers and now it is completely broken. Other ones are starting to be problems as well so I expect them to go any time now. I took it to a local luggage shop to see what could be done and the owner says it is not worth fixing as it would cost double the purchase price to fix the zippers.

He recommended I get another type because he says he won't carry this brand because of the quality. The new pouch will cost me almost 3x as much but it will come with a lifetime guarantee. I say ultimately pass on this one unless the immediate price is a real issue. It has some real advantages going for it, but doesn't wear very well.
