There’s a fanny pack revival going on out there and as a full-grown adult that’s been rocking a fanny pack ever since strapping one on as a kid in the 80’s, I could not be more excited about it. Though they sometimes get a bad rap, fanny packs are insanely logical when you really think about it: they free up your hands, they're incredibly light, they’re comfortable and they are just flat-out awesome. You can call them “waist or belt bags” if it makes you more comfortable but the bottom line is that you are going to fall in love with these functional fannys.
