Amazing Dry Fanny Pack
I have used this pack sever times for swimming and floating down rivers. It is incredible. Not one drop of water gets inside the pack when fully submersed. Sure the zipper is a little hard to close but no big deal and not too difficult. What else would you expect from a fully waterproof zipper? Thank you Patagonia for revolutionizing my river float...

Great pack! I use it mostly for walking to runs. Perfect for carrying extra gear I dont want in my vest while wading and just leaving on the bank while fishing.
4 stars because the belt does slip and loosen after some walking. It feels to be getting better as the webbing softens. I think. Over all, just what I was looking for.
Product is made well and fits well. Looks great. Only issue is that the zipper is very hard to zip open and close. Would suggest a tab or finger loop at either end to hold onto with one hand while the other hand pulls the zipper. Without a grabbing point at the end of Zipper, it is very awkward and difficult to open while standing in water or anywh... Read Moreere while wearing it. Most difficult getting the zipper started at either end since you are pulling up in a vertical direction before you go across.
We appreciate your feedback on all the features of this pack. While the waterproof nature of the zipper is useful, it also may feel difficult to move. We recommend lightly applying a [zipper lubricant](https://www.rei.com/product/152246/gear-aid-zipper-cleaner-lubricant?CAWELAID=120217890006447716&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=100820982696&CATCI=aud-1396942680915:pla-462569364868&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_1522460001%7C92700053307853702%7CTOF%7C71700000062011430&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhZCVgZ6U-QIVUcLCBB2KEQmDEAQYASABEgJ0Y_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) to that area.

Ive used this on a
Ive used this on a one week bonefish trip so far, and I really like it. It stayed in place, and out of the way while casting and fighting fish. I would appreciate an additional divider, but I will probably add a small zipper pouch to organize smaller items.
Took this to Costa Rica to several tours in rivers and waterfalls. No a single drop or moisture went inside.
Water bottle holds ok, not perfect but ok.
The straps fit good too.
I bought one of these for myself and after using it for a couple of trips, bought one for a good friend. He loves it too. Great pack if you are fishing in conditions when your gear gets wet.
The water proof zipper is hard to close, as a suggestion, have something to hold on to when you zip it up or open. I put some zip ties on it to make it easier to close
Has everything you need and nothing you dont. Love the features (e.g., mess exterior pockets, large main compartment, and interior organizing). The only real downside is the belt, it doesnt feel secure and often slips in tightness when moving the bag around your waist to grab-zip/unzip for items in it. One of the better waterproof bags out there.
The strap is not great- too thin which creates weird pressure points and the cushioned part of the strap is not adjustable. The water bottle holder is worse- barely holds a beer can much less a water bottle of any size. The interior organizer pocket is oddly placed and interferes with storage. Disappointed in the functionality of this bag for fishi... Read Moreng and will be returning it. Had high hopes after using the Stormfront hip pack for years, but this product falls flat for me. Cool color and waterproof zippers are top notch, but thats about it.
