    Comments about REI Lode Waistpack:

    Used this little pack while traveling through Germany. Great size to have on a plane for MP3 player and sundries. Handy for day excursions around the cities when I didn't want to carry my big Kelty Redwing. Really a great little pack for he price.

    Great small size waist pack

      Comments about REI Lode Waistpack:

      Great size and many interior compartments to keep small items separate. I use it to carry extra camera batteries, filters, coins, sketch pad pencils, and sharpener. The wing pocket is great for lip balm or a camera lens cloth.
      It does not slip like other packs I've had. Very comfortable to use all day. Easy to switch from front to side position.
      The back flap is great to store the belt halves when packing or to use it as an accessory bag in a larger pack.

        Comments about REI Lode Waistpack:

        I bought this pack years ago to carry my insulin pump supplies. I carry it everywhere I go and I carry it everyday. I've taken it camping, skiing, hunting, fishing, to Europe several times, and it works as well as the day I bought it. I even bought a spare in case I couldn't get one when this one wears out. I really think my original will outlive me and my kids will inherit the spare.

          Comments about REI Lode Waistpack:

          I used this fanny pac on vacation while in the Smokey Mountians and at Bush Gardens. It is big enough to carry 3 bottles of water plus snacks, camera, cell phone, wallet, etc. It keeps items well organized. I have even carried a book to read in the plan back pocket. Like any fanny pac it has to be drawn up tight so it does not slip. I use it as a fanny pack, a carry bag over the head and one shoulder, or by the handle. I think it is comfortable ever way I have carried it. I put on a leatherman tool on the belt (opposite the little pouch on the other side), and use the snap on the leatherman case and the triangular strap attacment to secure the tool so it stays out of the way. It is a handy fanny pac to have. I plan to purchase others as gifts.

            Took this with me to the Philippines. Perfect for carrying passport, ID, cash, and other small items on the plane. Carried essential items as I traveled throughout the country. Plenty of room to carry camera, phone, and MP3 player. For the more discreete, carry only the essential items and it's hard to notice tucked underneath a shirt.
