Fanny Packs are back with Fannipac

Yo- you looking at our fanni? If not, you should be. 

Guys- the fanny pack is back. Yes, we are serious. It’s made a freaking comeback like never before. The classic 1980’s launch of the fanny pack and the ever so popular trend to rock one wherever you went in the 90’s has made its way back onto our waists and around our fannies. 

The team over at Fannipac have capitalized on the resurgence of the waist huggers and created a sleek, fashionable, practical and fun line of modern day fanny packs. If you have beard balm to toss in, a wallet with no pockets to slide in, even your cell phone while riding that epic rollercoaster- whatever you’ve got to pack up and go out with, consider the FanniPac as your go to companion.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Our initial impression on the FanniPac sort of starts well before we opened the shipped goods. When we initially spoke with FanniPac our team was sort of in the dark because most of us were late to the game. Like MONTHS late. However like any duuude crew member does, we jumped on board and gave it a go. The team at Fannipac were as cool as the waist huggers they make. They instantly impressed us with their fun and go get after it attitude. We thought if the crew is this cool- imagine the gear!

Ok-present day. We busted open the shipped out Heather Grey Fannipac and it was love at first sight. The texture, feel, color choice and size of the fannipac were spot on. The lightweight yet still durable feel of the pac made us feel like this was something we could get behind (rather we could get behind us!- whatever you get the point). This thing was sleek AF. The exposed zippers easily slide to a fro and on the three main compartments and the adjustable belt was easily manipulated for multiple waist sizes. The fanny pack from Fannipac is one that will turn heads and hold any fanny with style.


Our overall duuude first impression: What are we waiting for? Let’s get our fanny’s the Fannipac

PACK IT UP

Our crew tested out the Heather Grey Fannipac for the review and took it out on the town to see just what this fanni is all about. The slim design and sleek zipper system makes for a fashionable fanny pack that takes the vintage concept and gives it an upgraded design. The bag features three main compartments for storing your essentials with 3 exposed exterior zippers for easy access to all the goods. The internal zip pocket add extra storage and helps contain all your other goods along the beltline. With the adjustable 46” waist belt, the sizing of this fannipac is versatile and adaptable. With the bag measuring 15” x 6” x 4.5” it’s an easily stored and worn pack on your front, side, and derriere. 

What you got in that bag? Great question. We’ll tell ya. Our crew wanted to see just what we could carry inside the fannipac. We identified some key things that we would most likely want to toss in the pack:

  • Wallet

  • Cell phone

  • Car key

  • Sunglasses

  • Lip balm

  • Extra cash

  • Pack of gum

So the ultimate question: will this fannipac hold it all? The answer: heck to the yes it does. Not only did it all fit, but it securely and snuggly fit inside the various zippered compartments. The fannipac handled it all with ease and was easily accessible as we would often take items out and put new items in. 

Our crew loves rocking the pac-any and everywhere we go. Office meetings to drinks out with the crew- this fanny pack from Fannipac for sure made an impression.
