A hunter heading into their tree stand has different needs than a person going to a concert. The hunter needs something in camo, very sturdy, and lightweight while the concert-goer may need a pack with transparent plastic material. Another consideration for the hunter, the material should be water-resistant, and either nylon or canvas.

You want a pack that is large enough to carry all of your equipment, but not so big that it overwhelms. Modern waist bags are offered in every size imaginable. Here is where it is essential to know the end use of a fanny pack. Are you carrying a Compound Bow and its equipment, or are you heading in for a just a few days camping? It may be a good idea to get a piece of luggage and start packing until you are comfortable all the equipment you need is packed.

Organization is one of the keys to a great hunt and time spent outdoors. Knowing exactly where your essentials are kept in a convenient location, helps you to keep moving forward. If you have a large variety of items, then you may need a lot of different sized compartments. Are you hiking into a tree stand and then hauling out the meat? Are you carrying a lot of different items or a lot of the same thing? Ask yourself questions to hone in on what is going to work for you.

If the waist pack is going to be on your back and upper torso for long distances and time-frames, comfort is important. Traditional fanny packs have a single waistband, which is fine for short periods. Modern hunting waist packs now have padded straps across the waist and upper torso to take the pressure off the lower back. If you are hiking or hunting deep into dense woods, a padded chest strap and waistband system is what you need to look for. The material is also crucial for the strapping system. Lightweight material tends to come loose and rub the skin.

Miscellaneous items such as zippers and stitching should not be overlooked. A waist pack can be the best on several lists and review sites; however, flimsy zippers come loose in heavy rain. Look at the stitching for clues on quality and construction. Inferior material and stitching pull apart when stretched. Look at the inner lining of the compartments and the construction materials. Is the content a flimsy plastic or well-stitched canvas?
