A favorite of law enforcement, military and other outdoor 'tactical' types, this small wonder makes a great companion. I use mine for hiking, mountaineering and night-time dog walks, and it allows me to carry all that I need, without having to take a backpack or god forbid...a fannypack!

I can fit a large hunting knife in the zippered compartment (or a hefty multi-tool Leatherman), a large can of pepper spray and a medium flashlight on the sides, wallet, car keys and a large-ish digital point-and-shoot camera in the main compartment. (You could substitute the camera for a firearm, as it fits my cop neighbor's Glock 17 + clips very well.) Alternatively, a large GPS unit and an MP3 player would also fit.

I wear the pack strap across my chest, slinger/bandolier-style, and the pack sits on my hip or lower back quite comfortably. You can also use the extra strap to secure the rig to your leg, although it makes one look like a SWAT/Spec Ops wannabe. One tip: I suggest you also purchase the strap shoulder pad offered as an accesory at the Maxpedition website.

I had given up wearing a waist purse because it was a hassle to access my stuff. When I saw this one I decided to get it because it hangs free. Now I can easily get to whatever I have in it. This is very good quality and very comfortable to wear; also, it enables me to organize my stuff very satisfactorily. I recommend a waist purse for women like me who are absent-minded and tend to leave their purse somewhere or lose their keys.
