Fanny packs, with *plastic zippers*, work fine. But I find that a
little re-engineering goes a long way on these things. Cut some holes
on the bottom of the pack, then reinforce the pack by sewing in a mesh
cover over the holes. This allows quick drainage from the pack.
Otherwise the thing begins to bloat, and this puts pressure on the
seams and zipper, which then wear out quicker.
