Sierra Highlands Marlette Hiking Fanny Pack Waist Bag with Water Bottle Holder/Carry Your Cell Phone, Sunscreen, Keys, Wallet, and More! (Red/Black)

I work part time as a lifeguard. My facility gives us fanny packs to use for each shift but I preferred having my own. The regular fanny pack for guards is pretty mundane with a few pouches and a cross on the front. By upgrading to the Sierra Highlands pack provided more comfort and organization. For example, whenever I had to get my gloves out I had to unzip a compartment and pull them out. Now, I keep the gloves in the water bottle holder which makes them easier to reach and don. The compartments are roomy and it has padding on the back side so the pack is comfortable. The only negative is the small front compartment with the vertical zipper. I keep scissors and tweezers in that pouch but the zipper which zips from bottom to top, often comes unzipped during my shift. I've not lost anything, but I think a vertical design would have been better. Otherwise, if you are a guard, then you might find this pack handy.

Spent many hours researching Fanny packs. Did not want to spend the extra money on a brand name. Most, if not all, of the off brands are made in China including this one. This is well stitched, solid zippers, just the right size for running. Fabric is sporty, strong, and lightweight. Straps are easy to operate and the pocket openings are large. Love it! Bought 2 more. Great price!

Comfortable at a reasonable price! It's not too big or small. Has plenty of pockets and even a hidden pocket that I didn't notice at first. I love that it can hold a water bottle. The bottle pictured is a Smart Water bottle. I have a Samsung s10 and it fits in the largest pocket. Also, the adjustable straps are smooth and easy to use. You can adjust the size of the belt on either side. I use it when I go on long walks or hiking with my dog.

For the price you cannot beat this fanny pack. I used this for two whole days in universal and Disney and it kept my items dry even on water rides. It was large enough to hold a lot of items. I put a rescue inhaler, a medicine bottle filled with aspirin and heartburn medicine etc., lipgloss and chapstick, drivers license, debit cards, brush, with plenty of room to spare. Nice color to boot and fit my plus size 260lb frame easily.

The fanny pack is really comfortable. It has 3 pockets that are different sizes. Perfect for money, credit card, etc in the small one, 2 energy bars in the middle one, and the phone in the larger one. The water bottle is hard for me to reach so I have to pull the pack with the water bottle around to the front. This really isn't a problem. The water bottle holder seems to insulate the water helping to keep it cool. It also has a cinch strap to secure the water bottle tighter (nice feature). I use this for my shorter 5 mile walks and it works just fine. Not sure what it would be like for runners. Longer hikes/walks I use my small day pack because it can carry more.

I have to say, I am not sure why this bag has bad reviews. It is very compact and comfortable, yet holds a TON for its compact size. I originally purchased this for a Disney trip. It was more that enough for us. I was able to carry sunglasses (sometimes my hubs threw his pair in too), chapstick, sunscreen, protein bars, trail mix, phones, portable charger... It has plenty of space for hiking or amusement parks... the quality is perfectly fine for the price. I packed this thing full and never had an issue with ripping or anything. I have only used it for a week, however, but I do plan to use it for hiking with my dog too. It will have plenty of room for my phone and dog essentials on our hikes... not to mention it holds a fairly decent sized water bottle! It never felt heavy or annoying, even when packed full capacity with all of our Disney park needs. I wore it around my waist and also at times over my shoulder as a crossbody. So handy and very worth the low price if you are shopping for this type of bag.

I love the ease this offers me when traveling, especially on the airplane. It's large enough to hold a small wristlet, that holds all of my important cards and money, as well as my cell phone, my medicine that I need to have with me, my keys (with an attached inside clip), and more! It has a hidden money pocket as well and a cup holder on the side of it. The only thing that I might improve on this brand is that, for the new, larger, cell phones, they can only fit in the back pocket insead of the middle pocket or the front, but I still managed to fit in in the back pocket and it zipped fine along with my wristlet filled with cards.

I took this on a trip hiking in Utah and Arizona and was worried it wouldn't be big enough. it was just perfect for me on our shorter hikes. My boyfriend carried most of our water in his backpack and I carried the one bottle and lots of other things in the pouch. It was surprising how much I could fit! Sunscreen, light jacket, phone, first aid supplies - all travel size things, but I was able to get everything I needed in there without weighing me down. I couldn't even notice I was wearing it because it was light (other than the full water bottle) and not hot at all. The water bottle stayed secure the whole time because of the strap you put over it. So glad I bought this little pack.

I am really pleased with this purchase. Best thing ever. After looking through several and being undecided for days, I settled on this design because of the brand guarantee. No regrets at all. I have it while walking and my both hands are free as it holds the water bottle firmly, my phone and the rest.

Great little pack.Fit for purpose and holds a water bottle
