Amphipod Micropack: The Perfect Pouch

As I've said in previous reviews, I must be part marsupial because nothing makes me happier than a handy pouch. Amphipod's Micropacks are some of the most useful items I own. Whenever I go out for a hike or power walk, I just put my driver's license, a credit card, and my keys into my Micropack, clip it to the inside of my pants or shorts, and I'm off...

The pack can be worn in front or in back (I prefer wearing mine in back), and the strong metal clasp keeps it firmly in place. (A secure velcro enclosure keeps your belongings in the pack.) They're so comfortable--I don't notice I'm wearing one.

I love Amphipod products because they're so well-designed, simple to use, and totally durable. The Micropacks are made of out neoprene so they can handle any type of outdoor activity. For water activities, Amphipod makes a micropack with a special rust-free clasp and an inner watertight zip-lock pouch.

With no lockers at the beaches and hot springs I visited in New Zealand, I used my waterproof Micropack to keep my credit cards, cash, and keys safe and secure.

Bottom Line: This is a must-have item. I use mine almost every day. The waterproof micropack is essential for anyone on a beach vacation. I wore mine swimming in the ocean, searching for shells, and relaxing in hot springs (there's a beach here where you can dig a hole in the sand and the hole fills up with hot water!), and never once felt the need to check to see if my wallet was still on my beach towel. It was attached to the inside of my swimsuit!--E.D. (April '04)
