I was hesitant to purchase a fanny pack sight unseen, but since I was unable to locate a suitable one in our local stores and I use a fanny pack daily, I took my chances. This has been the best fanny pack I have ever owned. I bought one in black. It has held up well to daily use and I have owned it for one year now. As a mother of four small children, I need to have my hands free and not forget my wallet or keys, so I depend on a fanny pack to help with that challenge. In my fanny pack, I keep a good size wallet, two sets of keys, a small tape measure, a couple pens, a couple tubes of lipstick/chapstick, and a few other personal items with still a little room to spare. I also LOVE the cell phone pouch since we got a cell phone a few months before I bought this fanny pack. I definitely recommend this product.

This fanny pack is superb. The design is very roomy: a very large main compartment fully lined and zippered, and two convenient smaller zippered compartments in the outside front of bag. Also fairly large zippered area within the main compartment, and another on the back of the fanny pack leather area near your body. As yet I haven't found a use for the very small side zippered pockets near the belt. The leather is very good quality and the brown is a warm medium shade. All zippers work well. Extra large belt. I am a new fanny pack wearer, so it does take some getting used to the bulk and weight in the front waist area, but it beats the strain of shoulder straps, hand bags, etc. I use the cell phone pocket for my hearing aid volume/program adjustment device, the size of a small cell phone. Similar fanny packs in leather stores in my town cost over $70 without all the features of this one. It arrived soon after I ordered it. I recommend it highly. You won't be disappointed.

This is my fourth fanny pack. It seems better made than most. In particular, the belt buckle seems of a higher quality than most, and that's been the point of failure of two of my previous packs. (I wish I could find one with a metal buckle.)

There are two changes I would make to this design. First, the side pockets are too small because they join the main part of the pack in a single seam. The front panel of the side pocket needs to join the main front panel of the pack in a second seam maybe 3/8" farther forward. This would make the side pockets much larger and more useful.

Besides that, I note that there is only a single seam joining the belt to the pack. Time will tell, but I suspect this may become a failure point. A second or even third row of stitching here would make me feel more confident.

All that said, it seems like a very good pack -- the zippers and pulls are of high quality, the pockets are all lined, there are plenty of pockets including two security pockets for money and other small valuables -- and I would give it 4 1/2 stars if I could -- just not 5 :-)

The fanny pack looks nice but the belt did not adjust to be small enough for my hips. I am a 5'6" 120 lb. small boned female. The company offered to exchange it, however did not offer any others with cell phone holder. Now I will have to pay return shipping plus 4.95 restocking fee to return this item. I did not see the information to learn of this fee before my purchase and am not happy to learn it now.

This may be the best one of these I've ever owned! Besides the size which was exactly the one I was looking for, the construction is quality, the leather and dye are as to be expected and there are enough pockets for all you pack rats. The belt is a little wider than I'm used to but I'm finding I like it better than the thinner version. I would recommend this to anyone needing a pack like this for billfold, cell phone, change holder, and whatever other small stuff one can fit in it.

I ordered the pack as a christmas present for my wife. She has been using it for the last few weeks and loves it. She has mentioned how roomy and stylish it is. She is very happy with it. Also wanted to mentioned that I ordered it about a week before christmas and it arrived just in time for me to wrap it and place under the tree!

This fanny pack is GREAT! It's a nice quality leather and it's just the right size...room for a camera, cell phone, keys, and more...smaller outside zipper pocket for credit cards/money, etc. It doesn't get too heavy and has a nice adjustable nylon strap that will fit a range of sizes. I wear it almost every day.

I am very pleased with my new fanny pack with the cell phone holder on the front. Now that I don't have to carry the cell phone in my fanny pack, I have more room for other items. My cell phone is at my fingertips also. The material seems to be of good quality and I highly recommend it.

I have not taken this on vacation yet, but compared to other fanny packs, this one seems very durable. I wish it had a little more room, but I think will do nicely. The only drawback was that I had to alter the waist strap because it was too big (I am a size 8) even when I had it as small as it would go. I do like all of the different sections and pockets to keep items separate.

I like the Fanny Pack, especially that it is made of good quality leather. I could use a little bigger one. The main complaint I have is that it is much too big around for me, and I am not a really small person. I cannot make it any smaller. I believe I read a review with this same complaint before I bought the Fanny Pack.
