CREATOR Tactical Waist Pack Portable Fanny Pack Outdoor Hiking Travel Large Army Waist Bag Military Waist Pack for Daily Life Cycling Camping Hiking Hunting Fishing Shopping - Black

Instead of using durable Nylon belt retainer/slack clips like every other fanny pack ever made, this company is attempting to save a few bucks by using brittle, cheap plastic belt retainer/slack clips that snap within the first hour or two of use--and the customer is left holding the [useless] bag!! I've worn fanny packs since they were first made; every fanny pack I've ever seen has employed durable nylon slack clips on the belt for purely obvious reasons. Had they simply used conventional nylon clips, this fanny pack would've been at least "somewhat" useful; however, the pack slips down around your legs in seconds without the tension that the clips provide in the standard design of every fanny pack made from the beginning. The compartments have no padding whatsoever and have no zippered internal compartments for cash, change, credit cards, etc., etc., etc. The big compartment is large enough to hold my iPhone 7Plus, but the material, which is designed to "look" like canvas or nylon, is really just some kind of weird plastic stuff that seems it would tear after any real use. They call this stupid thing "tactical" or whatever in an attempt to make one believe it is a durable piece of gear that would last, but it won't last an hour under any real outdoor conditions. I don't recall being angry enough to write a review about anything I've purchased in the past on Amazon, but this one took the cake.

There are so many companies selling bags today they claim are "Tactical", yet sadly many of them fail miserably. This is not one of those! This bag is incredibly well put together. I always look at the stitching and zippers and this company spared no expense in putting this bag together! Super durable and tough and the stitching is top notch all around.I also was amazed at how many pockets and room is available in this bag. I am a big guy at 6'3" 275 lbs and yet the waist belt fits no problem. It adjusts to any size. I can tell you as a survivalist and outdoorsman that I would have full confidence taking this with me out in the bush with no concerns at all.And at this price you can grab a few of them!! They easily could charge double and this would still be a great deal for the quality you are receiving. Pics will show you even more detail.Thanks Creator for making an extremely tough bag that I can depend on in any situation. That is what matters most in the end isn't it!?The patches didn't come with the bag they are mine but they went perfectly with it...

I thought this would be the answer to my prayers. I was planning a trip to Australia that would include a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, the rain forest in Karandu National Park and a camping trip in the Outback to see Uluru ( Ayer's Rock ). I needed a strong waistpack for my money, passports and phone and this looked like the right one.First of all, the material was so stiff that I had to practically take the bag off to access it's content.Most importantly the fastener and webbing were difficult to adjust and open and close.But what really annoyed me was the buckle broke halfway through my trip making the waistpack basically unusable.Usually Amazon products are great but this one really stunk!

It's held up nicely so far at my work. My job is mostly outside where I need to have stuff handy to meet the challenges I am likely to face. It beats the McGyvered tool belt/harness I used before. I still use the suspenders from that as it helps with comfort and weight distribution. My Leatherman Multitool in its MOLLE Pouch went onto the belt itself nicely, so it's easily accessible. Since the straps on the side pouches tend to interfere with zipping and unzipping, I put an Altoids Tin in each, each tin has spare parts and things I use the least, but need nonetheless, the straps add to the security for that. The sides I was able to put my two large camera bags and they are much less cumbersome on this setup than on my McGyvered setup. One camera bag is my DIY First Aid and the other has everyday stuff like a pen and notebook, an extra bandanna, we sweat a lot on the job, and my workplace name badge. All in all this fanny pack is far superior to the one I used before. I plan on getting better suspenders for this as well, but until then, I work with what I have.

The bag is nice enough, but right from the box/bag I had to realign the zippers. While not a major, gotta mention this. The pockets in the front sides have a compression strap which are not useful or required and awkward to use. The front center pocket is nice and just small enough as to not over fill with something heavy and bulky. The main compartment is roomy, but the design forces the main strap to pull on that main pocket causing the access zipper difficult to stick your hands inside to place or remove items from. The back slit pocket also suffers from this design flaw. If you have small hands (average woman size) then gaining access is much easier but not necessarily very easy to remove items.Some ideas I'd probably use this bag for given these flaws would be as a Daddy baby bag, hiking/biking/walking snack bag and possibly a theme park snack/medicine/hygiene bag.But given the cost and mild inconveniences I would suggest this item as long as you have taken these points into consideration or aren't an issue for you.

Let's face it. It's a fanny pack. It does everything a fanny pack is supposed to do; and that is where I use it. On my fanny. At least a whole one half. It can hold quiet a bit of items. It has 5 compartments. With the main having two sections. Belt clip has a nice firm CLICK. The most I've put it into it at one time includes: Bill fold, camera, micro med kit, cellphone, passport, belt, change purse, trip itinerary and other papers, charging stick and cables, small medicine bottles, small zip ties, Trid#nt gum, hand wipes, pen, and still had some space. The only flaw is the plastic belt loops eventually broke from sitting and bending. I will replace them eventually with metal ones. The fuzzy sections are a little odd, but just stick a nice patch and it looks even better. Well made.
