ZPacks Zip Pouches, Two Year Usage Review

ZPacks Zip Pouch

Update: Please see my 2000+ days update of this article!

I think it was in early 2013 that ZPacks introduced a set of neat little zippered pouches designed to hold things, such as glasses, passports, wallet content, and so forth. I ordered a few and over the last two years have used most of them at one time or another – and have used one of them every day as my primary wallet.

I did not expect for it to become my daily wallet, but over time it just proved to be the perfect size and meet the requirements I obviously wanted, but did not know I wanted, in an enclosed wallet – my first enclosed wallet in my life.

Earlier this year I upgraded to an iPhone 6 Plus and it does not fit into the ZPacks Pouch I have been using – my iPhone 5 did fit – and now, thankfully, ZPacks has released a new zippered pouch called the ‘ZPacks, Phablet Zip Pouch‘ which is suppose to fit an iPhone6+, so I just bought one of those. I just hope that it is big enough as I have a Mophie iPhone 6 Plus Juice Pack attached to my iPhone6+

Ok… seriously, how much can be said about a zippered pouch? Some I suppose could say a lot, but I am not one of them, so, moving on, here are some photos of the pouch I have used for around 800 days, to show how amazingly well it has held up, both out on the trail and at home / around town.

Front of the ZPacks Zip Pouch. Some obvious wrinkles and wear, but no tears!
Back side of the ZPacks Zip Pouch. Gotten a bit dirty I suppose, never have washed/cleaned it (shrugs)
Bottom of the ZPacks Zip Pouch.
Inside of the ZPacks Zip Pouch. No damage from shoving cards and other stuff into it on an almost daily basis.
Inside of the ZPacks Zip Pouch, showing the tape bonded seam has held up perfectly.
The typical around-town contents of my ZPacks Zip Pouch. While out on the trail… small cash denominations, less plastic cards, more trail name/info cards and medical info.

Want one for  yourself? Head over to the ZPacks Zip Pouch website page!

Thank you,
