Personally, I'm a huge believer in the waist packs (fanny packs) for whenever my load is small enough to fit in one, which is surprisingly frequent. I have several sizes on up to a "Mountain Smith" brand one that almost equals a small daypack. I find the load carries more comfortably, cooler and more conveniently than a daypack.
