everest 044XLD Extra Large Fanny Pack

my old pouch was stuffed pretty full. I put the stuff in here and there is lots of room to spare. These are big! Love it.

THIS THING IS HUGE!!!! Literally! When I opened the box, literally the first words coming out my mouth was "HOLY CRAP".Very comfortable material. Rugged. Heavy Duty.Belt/strap size 52".I'm a huge guy at 325#, and young in my 30's. The fanny did fit well around the waist (For those of us BIG GUYS trying to find out the belt size)... BUT, So wearing the pack around the waist is a No, No, for me... as there're enough stigma, humiliation and jokes in regards to wearing one and style.I like to hang mine down across my shoulders and my upper hips a little below the waist and not so much right on my waist line.Thankfully I found an similar style strap belt from an old laptop case/bag and I found how to cling it to each side/edge of the strap/belt. So that I can run across the shoulders.I run the pack across my shoulders, hanging towards the side. I'm one that carry my E.D.C. (Every Day Carry) Items, such as every day necessities, and protection, etc. SO, I have all things from small tactical flashlight to my carry on, small first aide kits/meds, and all my diabetic stuff as well.CONS:The zipper is made to hold well, metal and VERY metal thick heavy duty. Haven't had any problems. (those from reviews with zipper problems, i began to wonder if they've gotten a cheaper version?) The zipper though ARE LOUD and clanky when walking or moving around, since them being thick and metal. I did have to cut them, and replace them by putting some heavy duty paracord.PROS:I just love, love love love the size, and being that I'm able to take all my EDC items and my diabetic stuff as well. THIS THING IS HUGE!!! I can't stress this enough.

I purchased two of these and I love them! One I use when I'm out in my backyard. I hand-feed peanuts to chipmunks and they follow me around the yard whenever I'm outside. I use this one to hold peanuts in the shell (in the large compartment), and it holds a LOT, at least double what my last fanny pack held and I thought THAT one was big. I then use the front pouch for my iPhone 6 Plus which is in a CellBee hard-shelled case (the case can be seen here:http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00NMU0172/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1SBS00P3576G8&coliid=I15XSB1J59UDAQ, I hope the link comes through, if not you can search Amazon for it to get the specs). The phone fits comfortably in the front zip pouch, with enough wiggle room to get it in and out comfortably. I use the back zippered pouch to carry things I may need as I work in the garden (tissues, nail file, eyeglass cloth, etc.).The second pouch is used when I'm going out and don't want to carry my handbag. Obviously it does not hold as much as my handbag does, but it holds a lot more than you would think (see attached photo). With this one I use the front and back zippered pouches the same as I do with my peanut fanny pack, and in the big center section I can put my ladies' checkbook wallet, keys, my big wrap-around sunglasses in their case, a bag with eye drops that I have to carry everyplace with me and a 20-ounce bottle of water. There is still room left to add little things here and there.The pouch does get heavy when full, simply because it does hold so much, but with it around your waist, that's not too much of a problem. There have also been times when I've slung the strap over my shoulder and used it as a shoulder handbag (it's easier that way going through security checks where you have to open up every pocket).Speaking of the strap, it's quite long. I am rather large, just over 200 pounds, and it fits easily around my waist; I just measured my waist and it's about 44 inches.All in all I would highly recommend this fanny pack to anyone looking to carry more than just a couple of small items. It really works out well for me and should I ever wear one or both out and need to replace them, I will definitely try to get this exact fanny pouch. However these are well constructed with heavy-duty fabric and I don't see them wearing out for a good long time.

A very well-made fanny pack, with a long belt that will fit most adults. It's made of quality, thick, poly canvas. The zippers are sturdy and the stitching is solid. A rear compartment is relatively thin, as it comprises the back side of the pack. But it is relatively large and can easily hold a cell phone, check book, wallet, etc. The main compartment has two zippers to allow for ambidexterous entry. There are two smaller pockets inside, to organize your stuff. It's a nice size, and could easily hold a small digital camera, wallet, etc. The final pocket is about 4x6 and has a ring for keys; it would also fit a smaller cell phone.This is a well made product. If you're looking for a super sized pack, to hold bottles of water, meals, large camera, look elsewhere. But this pack can hold the contents of the average purse, comfortably.A final comment: I am wondering if this product has changed size over time. Some reviews seem to comment that it is huge; however, mine is about the same size as an old LL Bean fanny pack that I own, with about as much space as mid-sized purse.

This is a very large, spacious waist pack --- spacious and with a belt adjustable to + 44 waist sizes. It feels like it will last a good long time and the price is under $20.00 which is a good value. The only wish is that there were a few more separate compartments, or more dividers within the one big, main compartment. That main compartment is big. the problem is that things can get a bit cluttered in there if there are more than a few items, and then extracting the one desired at the moment can involve a bit of fishing around. To be fair, there are two dividers in that main compartment. The problem is that they are open dividers and so, when reaching in, it is hard to separate one item from another with one's fingers without forcing the opening wider and actually looking, as opposed to just feeling in. Still it is a good pack and is recommended for daily use.

Huge, I took it to Disneyland and it fit all my stuff, including a big size s'well water bottle. So much better than a backpack in the August heat.
