Humanity lives immersed in a series of eternal love-hate loops, and the fanny pack is definitely one of them. We have been going around for several decades with this bag that became a basic in the decades of the 80s and 90s , and to which the effect 2000 and the millennials banished it in the worst possible way (in terms of fashion): giving it the relentless nickname of 'from father'. A sanbenito that few accessories manage to get rid of.
Until the Generation Z has grown older and has rescued the fanny pack from ostracism, returning it, incidentally, to the top 3 of traveling accessories ; if she ever left. With the balance once again restored, it is time to recognize that turning the fanny pack in our handbag during a trip has its advantages. Not only because it forces us to carry just enough , also for being the best way to have everything under control (by literally placing it right under our noses) and, incidentally, giving our back and shoulders a rest.
Or, what is the same, if we manage to find a model that suits our needs, it is most likely that it will become the perfect companion for any adventure . And, for this reason, we compiled eight fanny packs suitable for all tastes and/or requirements.
THE MOST POPULAR
Simple, compact, but with great capacity for its size. The star belt bag from the Eastpak brand (and the favorite of users of amazon ) has a 2-liter capacity and measures 16.5 x 8.5 x 23 centimeters. Its adjustable rope and its minimal design, available in several colors, make it the authentic off-road fanny pack , the one that you can wear both to walk around a city and to have all your things located when you go out for a drink.
THE CONVERTIBLE
It does not matter if it is for a weekend or for a longer vacation, whenever we are about to pack a suitcase we realize that the best way to save space is by resorting to pieces that, although they do not work for everything, have the ability to adapt to the different situations that will arise during our trip. Precisely within this category is the fanny pack with several pockets of the brand Kipling , because, if necessary, it is capable of transforming into a bag.
THE SPORTY
In the same way that not all trips are the same, the bag in which we transport our personal belongings must be adapted to the type of plan. For sporty or physically demanding routes, the best option is a sports fanny pack. This brand design EvoSports It is specially designed to transport everything you need, offering the greatest comfort. In the first place, because it has a system that adjusts to the hip area and incorporates a system that allows ventilation to be adjusted depending on the type of movement. But also because it has several compartments, with a total capacity of 3 liters , two bottle holders, as well as space for a 1.5 liter water bottle.
THE INVISIBLE
Losing documentation and credit cards (or being the victim of theft) is one of the biggest inconveniences that can occur during a trip, no matter how careful we are. For this reason, there are those who choose to reduce the possibilities to a minimum by carrying everything important at the waist, but hidden from view.
It is a fanny pack especially flat, which fits the body and is placed under the shirt. The one from the Muco brand is made of a breathable fabric and has space for what is strictly necessary (passport, cash, credit cards...), including the mobile phone. In addition, it incorporates a system that also keeps contactless cards safe.
THE ONE WITH THE GREATEST CAPACITY
Until 3 liters , more concretely. Which makes this design of the Under Armor brand the waist bag with the most capacity of all those on the list. It is made up of a single compartment and two interior pockets. The closure is zipper and the outer material is waterproof and especially resistant.
CROSSBODY BAG
However, if the image of a fanny pack about your body still torments you, but you are aware that you need something to put all your things in when you leave home, you can always replace it with a shoulder bag. In Adidas they have a model that has become a classic, because it is especially compact, but with enough space for the passport, the wallet (if it is small), the mobile and the keys.
SHOULDER BACKPACK
Also in shoulder bag format, but, in this case, in the shape of a backpack. This is the brand's commitment Ovecat , which has created a compact design, but with multiple zippered pockets, to keep all your personal belongings under control. Especially the mobile phone, which has its own compartment on the front, which can be accessed quickly and without having to remove the backpack. In addition, it is made in a waterproof fabric.
THE MOST COMPACT
Halfway between all of them is this bag that fits around the waist and was initially designed so that those who practice outdoor sports can carry everything they need with them, with the maximum security guarantees. However, we also see potential as a travel companion, because it is especially compact (it has space for what is really essential, nothing less and, of course, nothing more), and it is always carried and visible (secured to the body with a belt) .
