My old nylon fanny pack has lasted me almost 20 years and I've worn it almost everyday. But, since it's really starting to look bad, I thought I'd upgrade to a new leather one. For less than $15.00, this leather fanny pack seems like a pretty good deal. The leather is good quality and looks like it will last a while. On the downside, I was disappointed with the strap. It's only an inch wide and it's incredibly long. Even on the tightest setting, it's too loose for my waist (30"). The clasp and the zippers on the pockets seem very lightweight - and I doubt they will last as long as the ones on my nylon fanny pack. My only other criticism is that they sewed the velcro closure for the cell phone pocket too high up, so it bulges upward and also interferes with the zipper on the largest pocket. Despite all that, I think I'll keep it. I can always make alterations on it to improve the design (except for those zippers).
