Looks nice. Multicam?
Yup, 1000D Multicam, with a 1.5" waiststrap (a bit beefier than the normal 1"), loops on the strap to help you move the pack from front to back or vice-versa easier, and a flat pocket on the inside back panel.

Good work Brother.
[Elvis Mode]Thank yuh...thank yuh verrry much![/Elvis Mode]
Razor, that's a good lookin' little fanny pack! I like the configuration better than the CSM ones I've seen around. You got any other goodies you haven't shown us yet? :)

Working on some currently, as a matter of fact. Nothing revolutionary, but its stuff done at a soldier's request.
Nice to see you over here, Mel! Funny thing about that fanny pack; I cut the pattern from the little Jansport 5th Avenue pack I've used for several years. After doing this one, I would consider doing the litttle front pocket differently, or maybe even replacing it with some PALS so folks could add whatever type of pocket they wanted instead. I'm also considering putting the waiststrap buckle more on the side rather than in the middle (shorter strap on one side) to simplify putting it on/taking it off.

Looks good (:
It'd be nice if there was a zipper flap that covered the MEGA-Black zipper so that the multi-cam could really shine, i think you could make a low profile one w/out sacrificing accessibility. I think Lighter colored coyote pals on the sides so you can attack a radio, handcuffs, flashlight, knife etc and other cordura straps would also make it a bit more stealthy. If you think a flap might hurt accessibility, you might want to check out those cool new desert colored zippers I have seen around. Regardless, its pretty neat.
