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.

Another functional fanny pick, this hiking waist bag from WATERFLY was mindfully manufactured with outdoor enthusiasts in mind. With two zipper pockets, one small stash pocket, stable water bottle holder, breathable and padded mesh backside this bag is the perfect pick for hiking, running, camping or a day at the amusement park. They also make a super slim version sans water bottle holder that's worth checking out.

This next pick is absolutely perfect for traveling mainly because of the theft-proof hidden pocket and hole for your headphones that help to keep you 100% hands-free while navigating airports and train stations or while you're out taking in the sights. It even has a scratch-proof inner pocket to keep your phone protected from your keys!

Pretty sure your mom (and every mom in the world, for that matter) would really love to rock this fanny pack. Shoot, I'm not even a mom and I would really love to rock this fanny pack! It's just so retro and so pure and so perfect. If it's not quite your style don't you worry because other options include a Can't Touch This, matching Mr. and Mrs. packs for the newlyweds and everyone's favorite Stop Looking at My Fanny.

Last but not least, we have a fanny pack for the fashion-centric. Guaranteed to have you looking less dorky than most of my other picks, the soft, smooth quilted design and the adjustable belt will keep you looking chic whether you're wearing it crossbody, over your shoulder or around your waist. There's also a super stylish leather version from JASGOOD that really raises the fanny pack fashion bar.
