How To Pick The Perfect Fanny Pack
Now that you’ve seen how awesome fanny packs are, you want one but don’t know which to choose. Here are three considerations to help you pick the perfect pack.

  1. Primary use. First and foremost, how do you plan to use your pack? Do you need something sleek for travel, a carryall for hiking, or is water-capacity of utmost importance? These are important considerations. Take a minute and visualize your fanny pack future.
  2. Front or back. Do you plan to wear your pack on the front or back? Most packs you can switch around, but the larger they are the more awkward it is to wear them on the front. Keep this in mind when choosing.
  3. Pull out the tape measure. It’s always a good idea to take your measurements and check the pack specs. Most bags fit a variety of people but some packs don’t cinch down small enough for petite packers while others run surprisingly small. Measuring will help you pick the right pack for your body to maximize success and comfort.
 
Let's face it, they are pretty darn handy if you are short on pockets. I take one to yoga, or if I'm wearing swim trunks. Its a small one, just right for the wallet and keys.

When you need one you need one. I would use something like that. Pair it with a daypack and you'd be good for a night or two of hiking or hunting.

In general there is always a better option. Fannypacks are cumbersome oncwe they get to anything near that size. Multiple brands of hydration style daypacks exsist today and range from the ."happy camper day hike in the city park type" to the 2 day overnighter minimalist backpacker or the runner or the hunter, etc....

with that said I won't lie I do own a miniscule "spy belt" for short runs...one of these below which I can fit my iPhone 6, car keys and then strap my dogs foldable waterfowl on it. It's a spandex type (bonus fashion points) so it stretches ....and now a trendsetter :embarrassed:

back just now? shit, I've been seeing random peeps with bedazzled fanny packs out walking their labradoodles for the last couple years. the local community must be leading the fashion charge.
 
I think having kids precludes me from looking cool even if I’m in a new Italian suit, $500 shoes, and the bag is Vuitton. But I remember my fanny pack from the 90s and using it to carry around stupid shit I didn’t need on my family trip to Disney World.
