    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.
