20 Best Fanny Packs For Women (2023 Updated)

I like to take walks around an hour long where I can feed the birds in the park and maybe pick up something from the bakery. I don’t want to carry a full purse but I also hate to have my pockets stuffed.

This bag is the perfect size – it can fit a cell phone, a small bottle of water and a couple of small containers of bird seed/nuts no problem. For comparison, I included a photo of the Kanken laptop pack.

The inside is lined with nylon which gives it an odd feeling – it almost feels a little flimsier than the regular Kanken bags, even though the outside material is the same. Also, there was color transfer from my jeans to the bag.

I’m not sure if it’s the fault of the jeans or the bag but that hasn’t happened to me before. Maybe because I wear this bag a little lower?.

It sits nicely whether around my waist or cross body. The strap is easy to adjust. The top handle is quite useful! Has 3 zipper compartments and a pocket inside. My iphone 11 fits in the front without being difficult to get in and out.

It’s more roomy than anticipated and fits quite a lot. The boxy shape makes it really efficient. As usual the quality is excellent, zippers are smooth, fabric is kind of water resistant feeling. Buy it! I embroidered around the front circle logo and get so many compliments.

I managed to get this little bag in black and in the gray and pink. The price point allowed me to indulge in multiples. This is a practical little pouch for running errands, hiking or just taking a walk in the neighborhood to hold keys, etc.

It is esp. great because it is “hands free” and you do not need to be touching it much. Plus the fabric is easy to clean and sanitize (although I would not use bleach). My suggestion to Nordstrom- please stock the basic colors that do not show dirt like the black and gray.

I had to stalk the website to finally get these. I may return the pink only because I am concerned about color transfer and dirt showing. I would love to see a red, navy, dark purple instead of the pastels that are only available.

Otherwise I highly recommend this bag.

This fanny pack is everything I’ve come to expect with JanSport. It’s material is water repellant, robust and the overall design is functional and attractive. It comes with two zipper pockets, one large one that fits all your needs and a smaller one for keys or loose coins.

It has an adjustable strap but unlike older versions the buckle is closer to the body making it easier to unbuckle. My previous JanSport waistpack is more than 20 years old its beat-up, threads are coming undone but still going strong, I thought it was about time for an update.

This is a great little bag, emphasis on little. Much smaller than I thought even though I paid attention to measurements. It’s handy and will serve the purpose of having an easily accessible pouch for passport, tickets, phone, etc.

during air travel that fits in my backpack when not needed. But the material is stiff and so the bag is not as easy to access as I would like and also the canvas makes it heavier than nylon. Still, the price is excellent and the quality is good so it’s a keeper.

Bought one for myself for walking the dog. Holds my phone, keys, dog supplies, and even a small water bottle if needed. I sometimes clip the dog’s leash to it. Also bought one for each of my kids–great for biking or bringing on a hike so they can carry their own water bottles.

Good size, roomier than expected. Also works well to sling over your back if the “fanny pack” style is too embarrassing. ;).

I bought this a few weeks ago, and I love it. I love the card slot holding on the inside of the bottom zipper and the top holds just enough. I also noticed an very small zipper on the top that is perfect to hold a quarter (I shop at Aldi’s) so I don’t have to search for a quarter it has its own pocket.

Lol.

Love it! Use it for running. It has 2 pocket areas. The smaller one is where I place my cell phone(Galaxy S21) the second pocket for keys and other miscellaneous items. Great little purse!! Highly recommended!.

I have been wanting to have a belt bag but it’s just hard to find the style I like. I am glad I found this adidas belt bag in DSW. It is great quality, stylish and comfortable and has plenty of room to fit my phone, wallet, keys and even my eyeglasses.

Plus, you can wear it not just around your waist but also over your shoulder.

I barely use it. I have a true 90’s Lumbarpack used for what it is meant for the trails in the mountains. Not a fashionable fluff piece. I actually get stopped on the trail and answer technical questions on the pack.

Yes, I can answer them with authority as I worked in TNF warranty dept. You strayed far from the original design of true mountaineering gear you used to produce. My lumbar pack is delaming and I refuse to send it in because I would get that replacement above and that is definitely out.

I can carry 6 water bottles and an emergency kit in my bag without hesitation. That fluff above is a no. It can hold keys, ID, my phone and that is it. I can look fashionable at a winery. The metal stays in the back support is the best on the 90’s 2L pack.

Above item is a waist fanny pack. It should not be labeled as a true lumbar pack.

Love the look and style. Would say there are a couple things that are kind of odd. First, the main strap that buckles in is almost comically long. I’m pretty slender, fine, but with that being said, at a comfortable tightness at the waist, there’s probably a good foot and a half of strap for adjustments.

Better too much than not enough, but it makes tucking the strap in and hiding it a little awkward. Second, the interior of the main pouch seems pretty roughly assembled with some live-edges of seems just kind of sitting there.

Not a big deal, but noticed it. And lastly, the front pouch feels a bit awkward to use as well; like it should be wider or have a bit of extra material to make it easier to actually access rather than just slip chapsticks and cards into.

Not upset by any means with the product, just a couple oddities.

I use this as an everday pouch to carry EDC things (keys, wallet, glasses, cash, etc. ). The colors are great. It is comfy, and the main pocket is very roomy. The whole thing is the perfect size for a big guy like me – not too small, and not too large.

Two things keep this from perfection: 1. The main compartment needs a smaller zippered or webbed pocket. The main compartment is roomy, but if you have something on the smaller end, that is too large for the small front pocket, then it will get lost in the main compartment; 2.

When you adjust the straps to your perfect length, the leftover straps don’t stay put with the loops meant to do that. They’re not tight enough so the leftover straps hang awkwardly and sloppily. These are two minor things though, and it is overall a GREAT hip pack!.

Super small. Even too small for my 6 yr old. My kid uses it on her 18 inch doll. It fits a lip gloss and a small trinket , nothing else. Only 5 inches across and 3 inches in height. It’s more like a toy.

And of course, it’s extremely cheaply made.

These are BIG fanny packs. Look at the dimension and determine if they are right for you. They were exactly what I was looking for. Big, roomy, holds a lot of gear for a day hike. Construction seems solid.

If you have a smaller waist, you will need to snip the belt to make tighter adjustments. Overall it’s a great, larger sized pack. Love it!.

I bought the same one 4-5 years ago and it had a much better strap that did not slip. This one slips and I have to wear it all day. Hmm. Wish they would go back to the sturdier strap that was a bit wider and of heavier material.

9/5/21 The belt completely slips and does not hold at all. So disappointing because the one I purchased a few years ago. same product number. had a much better belt and did not slip at all. I wore this old one out.

I bought mine in December of 2019 in preparation for an upcoming trek in Fuegian Patagonia for field work. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made, hands down. It’s the perfect size for everything you need to have right on hand.

For the airport, I can fit my travel wallet, chargers, earbuds, phone, a few snacks, small notebook, pen, etc, and it makes it so easy to safely store and access your passport and boarding passes. For trekking/hiking, it easily fits phone, keys, small wallet for the necessities, bear spray, field book, pen, hand lens, brunton compass, sample bags, matches, lighter, knife, emergency medication bottle and creams.

And of course it’s great for an everyday “purse” or for a concert or just exploring a city! The little mesh pockets inside are useful, I have only had things come out of them and into the main part once or twice and it’s because they were small and the bag was basically empty.

Even when it’s completely full, it isn’t very bulky, and the material is light-weight but incredibly durable. Easy to clean, mine has no stains. And the straps are so adjustable, I have measured and it would fit up to around 50-52″ I think, give or take.

I use mine for everything, and I find it very visually appealing as well. I don’t think they make (or REI doesn’t sell) the colorway I have anymore, but I really don’t think you could go wrong buying this.

It’s been all over the world with me, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Do yourself a favor and buy this!.

Who knew that fanny – pardon me – hip packs would become cool again? I think a hip pack is a great way to carry all of our daily stuff without resorting to stuffing our pockets. Sure, men have purses and European men have shoulder bags but American men, in particular, need something for our overly thick wallets, glasses, keys, oversized phones and whatever else we take with us for the day.

The Bataan is a nice-sized bag that will carry all of this along with room for a small camera or even a nutrition bar. The shape is such that there’s plenty of room but between the colors and the boxier shape its not particularly subtle.

Its also reconstructed, meaning that there isn’t any supporting material or cushioning. Personally, I prefer the Kapai line due to the tapered profile and the lightly padded sleeve and backing material.

But, this is still a really good option. Again, as with other Del Dia products, you have to be willing to spin the wheel and live with the color choices they make; I think that’s a benefit but keep in mind that its means that if you’re trying to hide your fanny pack, you’re looking at the wrong bag.

The bottom line is this, go bold, brighten up your day and unload your pockets at the same time. Whether you’re running errands or spending the day walking about, this is a great way to carry your necessities with a touch of flair.

I bought the Bataan 3L Fanny Pack with the intention of using it primarily on our family trip to La Fortuna, for keeping the essentials close by without the hassle of a purse. I was hesitant at first because, as a child of the 80s/90s, I honestly think fanny packs should have never come back in style! Enter Bataan 3L.

This little pack is so dang cute, I immediately ditched my go-to purse for the entirety of the summer – not just the trip – and am not sure I’ll ever go back. The pack went above and beyond my expectations for Costa Rica – great size (I could fit my entire raincoat in it, which was a constant necessity with the unpredictable daily monsoons!), durable, awesome colors (even my I-only-wear-navy-or-black-husband asked to borrow it one day).

And it hasn’t left my side for day-to-day momming activities all summer to keep me hands-free (amusement parks, swim meets, the grocery store). I highly recommend wearing it cross-body. My ONLY complaint is that after only about 2 months of use, the little Cotopaxi llama decal is already starting to peel off.

Otherwise? I suppose fanny packs are okay after all!.

For the price, I think the quality is acceptable. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart anytime soon. I stuffed my phone, wallet, keys, pocketknife, and airpods in it – that’s about the limit of what it will comfortably hold.

But that’s also all I was expecting to carry. The backside is nicely padded and the zippers appear to be of decent quality and work well. Assuming the overall size works for your intended purpose, I only see a few minor issues.

One, the key clip seems pretty flimsy. I don’t expect it to last. The strap isn’t very long – if you’re a bit round around the middle, beware. Last, the strap is slippery. If I sling it over my shoulder it likes to slide around.

Overall I’m pleased. If they made the same exact thing in a 2L version I’d buy one to have a larger option too.

I ordered this pack because it is so lightweight and looked as if it could hold my phone and a few things on longer runs this summer. For example, a small collapsible water bottle. I wore it on my low back and it definitely bounced with the water in it, which is typical so I wasn’t too upset.

It also kept rounding my waist to the front so I had to continue knocking it back to my low back. The waist straps weren’t as heavy duty as I had hoped and the clasp, tightening system wasn’t all that spectacular.

All in all, it’s a good little pack for day to day or maybe hiking at a walking speed. I was please that it could store quite a bit, and the padding on the back was comfortable. And it’s cool colors, so there’s that.

Maybe it’s just not meant to be worn for running. I’ll definitely hang onto it and try it with a bike ride or hike to see if that’s where it shines.

This thing is awesome for walks and other small excursions where you need to carry a little more than will fit in your pockets. I use this frequently for dog walks to carry a leash, a roll of bags, and a very small (500ml) water bottle.

I really love this thing but have to dock it one start for the strap and buckle. The strap seems to loosen over time which isn’t the end of the world but is a little annoying. The buckle is super lightweight and mine cracked, not sure how— it certainly hasn’t been subject to much abuse.

The buckle still clips so it’s all good for now, and it should be easily replaceable if it finally goes. Would still recommend the pack though!.

This has been a really helpful item in the month I have owned it. I’ve taken it on half marathons as well as shorter walks, and it’s sturdy and comfortable. The largest pocket is very roomy in spite of its compact size – plenty of room for all my keys.

The only issue for me is that it’s a little big. I have it adjusted as small as it will go, and it’s still a bit loose and slides around. That also leaves me with a long strap to tuck into the waistband.

But overall, it fills an important need and I am glad that I purchased it.

I bought this pack to use when I’m chaperoning elementary school field trips. I love that it’s hands-free and I don’t have to worry about losing my stuff. The product is well made and sturdy. All the stitches are tight and even.

The zippers and working well and it has held up nicely. I only wish it came in more colors. I bought the burgundy one because it’s one of our school colors. Great product. Highly recommend.

I needed a waist pouch and didn’t want anything too bulky, but wanted something large enough to hold my iPhone 6 without having to remove it from its OtterBox or take off the pop-socket. This works great! I was able to fit my phone, keys, lip balm (VERY IMPORTANT lol), and some cash without it feeling heavy or sliding down.

The strap is easy to tighten and latch. Highly recommend!.

IF you’re looking for quality, comfortability, and portability this is what you’re looking for. First and foremost, what I love most about this fanny pack is the quality of the pack itself. It has that genuine Adidas texture and is super comfortable with a bonus to the appealing look on the straps.

The purpose for my purchase was to avoid huge pockets with my outfits. I use my bag for my pocket knife, phone, wallet, gum, and even to carry a face mask when in public. Everything fits perfectly! I’d recommend this for fashionistas and active folks needing portability!.

I bought this belt bag a few weeks ago. I haven’t used it yet. Plan to use for an upcoming trip. The color Grey is perfect and neutral. It’s the best looking pouch that I’ve purchase. It’s also a very popular purchase.

I will use/wear it well. Thx.

Great purchase! I paid $24. 99 + tax. I thought this was reasonable, but I wish I had a coupon since it’s after COVID-19 & everything seems to be on sale. Not this. You can also get similar Adidas core belt bags at Kohl’s with a coupon or online for cheaper.

So, look at all stores & compare prices. This bag looks exactly as it’s pictured online. It has plenty of storage without being a big, bulky bag. Zippers slide easily & it’s comfortable. Quality material that you expect from Adidas.

I’ve only had it a couple weeks & used it once, but it’s perfect. Great for a male or female. I was extremely happy with this purchase & would highly recommend.

I live this. Replaced a wristlet. So much easier. Shoulder. Arm. Crossbody or waist. This little bag holds plenty and is very nice leather.

Overwhelmed by the quality and utility of this product! I bought this as a birthday present for my son-in-law. So impressed from the moment I opened the packaging. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen, held, and smelled a quality leather product.

Thank you so much!!! I am sure my son-in-law will enjoy it for many, many years.

Nice design, texture and feel. Fits flat under shirt. HD metal zippers. Hidden pocket inside and on back for security. Wish it had double stitching. It is new not vintage, but has a vintage look.

Haven’t used it to any great extent as yet; however, it seems to be well made and fits very well. Wanted something that’s small yet will hold key valuables, and it does just that.

I couldn’t. even wear it because it smells horrible

The bag overall is good, but some details are not good enough, like the top of the edge of the bag is not smooth.

I bought two of the Think Royln crossbody bags- one for myself and one as a gift. The straps are what I loved about the bags. The stripes are so cute and still neutral so they go with every outfit. It comes with 2 different sized straps so you can wear the bag 5 different ways.

The hardware on the bag is so pretty and way nicer than I thought! The bag itself is a perfect size to be worn as a belt bag or crossbody. It’ll hold just enough of your things without being too big or too little.

Buying from here my bags were sent to me within 2 or 3 days- so fast! These are great bags!! Highly recommend!.

I had been looking for the perfect small, crossbody bag and I found it! The Think Royln Bum Bag is the perfect size to take essentials to a concert, bar, restaurant, sporting event or other place you would rather not take an average size purse along.

I think of this bag as “sporty/casual. ” I’ve used it quite a few times in the short time since I’ve had it and I love it! I have the Black Noir color and use it with anything!.

I already the original Bum Bag in two colors and have loved the simplicity of the bags. Just big enough to carry my wallet, phone and a few lipsticks. However, I was finding myself needing additional space for my eyeglasses.

which I am wearing more often now! Thankful to have found the Bum Bag 2. 0 that adds the extra space that I needed. Love it!.

Plus size friendly! Expands to 44inch belt. Fits as cross body, light weights and stylish. Love the RFID aspect for added protection

Great value – well made, just the right size. This exact item was ten dollars less here than elsewhere. I love being hands-free these days – I don’t like lugging around a bag with all kinds of unnecessary stuff – so I appreciate having a bag like this.

Looks very good and stylish but small can hold your phone and a few small things. I wanted for travel so was a bit small and a bit heavy.

I am a 54 year old trend setter 😉 I have been wearing a fanny back as a cross body for years. My adult girls tease me about being WAY ahead of the times. Now that this is the trend, I am actually cool.

They both wanted to join in but not look like everybody else. This is the perfect option! So cute and well made. Now am keeping my eye on Marine Layer for other greats finds!.

Super cute and sporty. Great for keys, phone, small wallet, and perhaps a lipstick. It fits nicely around the waist as a fanny pack without looking like a true fanny pack. The strap is barely long enough to wear as a short crossbody bag and perhaps a very short purse (although doesn’t look very good as a purse).

The material of the bag is a plasticky canvas that can be wiped down if something gets on it.

I’m really NOT a fan of fanny packs. but I absolutely love this one. It’s super cute and just the right size to fit phone, lip balm, credit cards/cash, glasses, etc and not be too heavy or bulky. I wear it as a cross body bag.

Beautiful product. Lightweight but sturdy. I can fit what I need: phone, wallet and keys easily. Love that it is made from repurposed fabric.

Exactly what I wanted

TranslateShow in original languageIch liebe sie. Total gut verarbeitet. Schöne Größe. Einfach Klasse. Aber die Farbe ist eher ein Rostrot bzw. Ziegelsteinrot. Es geht mehr ins Orange. Auf dem Bild wirkt es dunkler als sie tatsächlich ist.

This bag has enough space to put quite a lot inside. As a photographer I was also able to out in my glasses, purse and lenses to hold on to while doing my photo shoots. So most of my friends and colleague ended up buying it too, I got this one as a gift for one of my friends as they really wanted one.

Front space and back space and include another zip inside the front one.

Overall it’s a nice bag. I just don’t think the adjustment is as firm as I would like it to be. It feels loose right after putting it on. Also not much room. I bought it as an alternative to my usual bag to take on flights and carry documents.

This bag is so roomy. Nice look and and good quality. I got on sale but would definitely pay original price. Roomy enough to fit cell phone, wallet and other personal belongings. Great to bring to the casino.

I’ve been using this fanny pack for a year almost exclusively as my purse and wearing it cross body. It can fit a lot and it very comfortable to wear both in the front and on your back! The zipper is so smooth and easy to open and close with one hand.

I recently used it at Disney World and Universal and it’s small enough that for the rollercoasters, you can put it around your waist and they’ll let you keep your bag 🙂 I recommend the extended strap so you have more options for wearing it like a crossbody.

I can fit a small wallet, sunglasses case, cellphone, my kindle, and a small water bottle in here! Love it! I just bought my second one. You can also use the pocket on the back as a wallet.

I purchased the white/natural color fanny pack with black strap. What I love about this purchase: it is made with recycled materials; made in Denver and I love supporting small businesses; the bag is stylish and classy; love the metal clasps on the strap (as opposed to the plastic type); the size is decent; I love that I can swing it from front to back or vice versa without any weight or balance issue.

What I wish would be better: i wish the outside hidden cellphone pocket would be bigger because it is too small for my cellphone; and I wish the big compartment had the type of double zipper that could zip in either direction.

This bag is absolutely perfect in every way! I am petite and it is not overwhelming on me. It’s the perfect size, not too big or too small! Fits my full size wallet when I need to carry it with me. The gold hardware makes this bag stylish, not your ordinary Fanny pack bag, but a awesome crossbody.

Love the convenience of the one large front pocket, can carry a lot, and that back pocket is perfect for your phone, cards, money, etc. Unlike a small backpack, I can easily move this from back to front and get what I need quickly out of the bag.

It is well made, and well worth the investment. THANK YOU!.

This was a cheap quality bag. It was so cheap looking I didn’t even realized it was the bag. but I will say it can still be styled amazingly with a nice quality blazer. Check out my Instagram for some fashion inspo and how I styled this @fashionoflune.

The bag is a lot smaller than I thought. Definitely cannot fit a phone in here. It’s practically palm size. In spite of that the material is very good so I will try to make it work since I can’t return it.

Im very dissapointed in this purchase. I thought it was a little bit bigger, but to my surprise it’s tinier than the image. My phone cant even fit in it, only my ID and coins.

Super cute. Just big enough to put what I need in it. Light weight. Love it!

I love how it has multiple compartments and is so lightweight. I love how versatile it is as well. It’s a must have purchase.

I love this bag! It’s very well-made and has adjustable straps with the perfect amount of pockets and fits my iPhone pro max phone perfect

The day I got this bag I happened to be wearing a black slip dress and oversized black sweatshirt (a la Dannijo), and it looked adorable. The belt is thick and lays well over the body (ie flattering).

All of the hardware is gorgeous; love the long tassel-zipper-pull; and the bag’s shape curves around the body beautifully. The only down side of the bag for me is the belt-sizing – I have a 28” waist and I have the belt pulled to its tightest with the above outfit (over a bulky sweatshirt), and it sits just below my natural waist, so it won’t be fitted over more body-slimming clothes.

But it IS called a ‘bum bag’, not a waist bag. Not disappointed, just noting that in case you want something that could be worn as more waist-defining, as well as lower on the hip or over the shoulder/cross-body.

Also, the outside phone pocket is great, though it doesn’t fit my iPhone with its protective case on, so it’s not really functional for me that way. My phone has to go in the main compartment. But overall, I give it 5 stars because it is a great l, well-made bag and is super-functional and adorable.

I have one belt bag from lululemon and bought this as a dressier, more sophisticated option. The color is beautiful soft gray. The zipper is more brushed gold. But here’s my wish list. If the zipper went across the top vs front it would fit more & be easier to grab what I’m looking for.

I don’t use the cc slots because they’re not deep. I do have a small cc wallet I use. My sunglasses are in a silky pouch but I can get them in. The back pouch is too short for my iPhone, so I keep keys & a pen there.

The strap is comfortable but for sure a cross body it’s way too long for an actual belt bag. All and all it’s cute, comfortable and does the trick.

Upon arrival, I could immediately notice the quality. The leather was like butter. I ordered the pearl white. The warm toned shiny hardware was to die for. Unfortunately I believe this bag is made to be worn across the torso or slung low on the hips; it was way too large for me to wrap around my waist, I am petite, and even adjusted to its smallest point was nervous it would fall off my hips.

I bought it for outdoor activities to hold just a few essentials (kind of fancy for that, I know, but a girl likes what she likes!) and needed something that would firmly stay on my waist. Regretfully had to return.

Otherwise I would have kept it as the quality is superb and it is absolutely a stunning piece.
