I needed something lightweight and nice looking to wear while walking the dog. Something for wallet, keys, treats, poop bags and etc. With some room left over. Granted, no fanny pack looks "hot", but this one looks nice. Well made, as I would expect of a Kelty product. Good zippers. Waist belt clasps in front. I wear an industrial strength anti-theft fanny pack for around town and travelling. The Kelty is not for that, but for what I wanted it is just right.
