    Personally I’m on Team Satchel, Team Messenger Bag… and also unironically think fanny packs should come back.

    But yes. Mobile storage compartments that are wearable?

    Pretty good idea, generally.

    While we’re at it: GIVE WOMENS PANTS REAL POCKETS

      Fanny packs are back in Germany for a few years now, but nobody wears them like a fanny pack, they were them across the chest.

        I wear one like that in New Zealand and nobody seems to think it’s weird or anything, or maybe they just don’t care cos I’m old now 😅

        I sometimes move it to around my waist if I need to take my jacket/jumper off, or if my shoulder gets sore from the slight extra weight, or to wear it with a backpack as well.

        I used to use a satchel but found it’s often a bit too bulky and makes my shoulder sore sometimes, however I’m finding the fanny pack is a bit too small, hence adding a backpack.

        I’ve never been to Germany, but… I am glad that at least somebody, some people agree with me.

        I’ve worn a fanny pack like that before, sort of like a very small messenger bag, but roughly over one side of my chest… it was a social faux pas, for some reason, despite being incredibly practical.

      Unless you have pockets with zippers, fanny packs are great for riding roller coasters if you’re only carrying a fanny pack’s worth of things. Especially one that can sit unnoticed under your shirt, since staff will sometimes make you take it off if it’s obvious.
