Got this for work and it's great! I work on my feet and need to carry a lot of stuff with me, so this has been really useful. The two pockets are great for organization, and it's really lightweight. It's really good quality- hasn't given me any problems after months of wear! Worth your money, for sure! Read more

I absolutely love this fanny pack in the rose pink color, it's even prettier in person! The size is just right for all my daily essentials like phone, wallet, keys, and lip balm. It's lightweight, comfortable to wear around the waist or as a crossbody, and the quality feels great. Perfect for travel, errands, or walks. Stylish and practical! Read more

It’s a good fanny pack, I just wish the traps were a bit thicker. My 11 year old son really likes it. He wears it as a shoulder bag to be like his dad. Read more

I love my pfd for sea kayaking but it lacks good pockets, so instead of buying a brand new expensive pfd (over $100) I found this very affordable little pack ($13) I can stow snacks, my phone in a ziplock and attach to my pfd or deck of my boat. I saw a different brand crazy expensive ($60!) waterproof pack like this at REI but this Jansport is way better with a bigger capacity and more pockets with adjustable strap. I can't wait to it try it out, but I already know I'm going to love it and talk about it for hours while paddling driving my husband crazy. It's the little things in life that can thrill you.

UPDATE: I came back to this review solely to say that these bags are SO durable. I don’t think I ever had a Jansport backpack growing up, but I always heard great things about them. I bought this back in September of 2022, and it is currently September 1 of 2024 and this bag has ZERO flaws or wear and tear. Which is impressive considering it’s been my main bag carried for these last two years. I even throw it in the washer occasionally when it gets really dirty, and it holds up perfectly fine (I toss it in with jean/sweats/hoodie type clothes on a cool/medium wash and I always let it air dry). I can’t say enough good things about this Fanny pack. Might not be as trendy as say a Lululemon bag, but it sure is durable. I’m debating getting a blue one at this point! Highly recommend. Worth every penny. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have always loved Fanny packs, but haven’t been able to convince myself to buy another for years. I’ve loved and used my Everest one for years, but the sea foam green color I had it in didn’t quite match everything. So I got this one in black. This has quickly become my “errand” Fanny pack. I wear it to drop my kiddo off at school, go to school events, grocery shopping, on walks, to parks, working, etc. It fits a decent amount of stuff in it. I love that it has the loop to thread extra banding through (my Everest didn’t have this and I’m quite petite, 5’4 / 110 lbs, so it dangled off me, but this one doesn’t have to!) I can easily fit my wallet, business card holder, keys, prescription sunglasses, hair clip, multiple chapstick/lip glosses, small perfume, aquaphor, snacks, a pocket knife (currently in my car but goes in my bag or pocket when I go places), my phone, ecig, hair ties and Bobby pins, and more random crap in this thing as needed. The only things I don’t love about this pack is that the smaller zipper pouch area zips backwards compared to my Everest. Not the end of the world obviously, but I often accidentally leave it open because I’m used to closing it the opposite way lol. I also kinda wish this had a keychain loop of some sort inside or on the side for keys to clip to. Also maybe a separated area in the biggest pocket so I could keep it more organized. Regardless though, these aren’t enough to make or break it and I still love and continue to use this Fanny pack. Read more

LOVE this pack, definitely worth the money. I have been wearing this pack everyday since i got it almost 2 months ago and it works and looks exactly the same as when I got it. I love that the material used is very tough and woven coarsely and has stood up to lots of abuse so far. The zippers are very sturdy and strong as well, havent had a single issue with them whatsoever. Although the material looks like it couldnt survive a rainstorm, on a few occasions (mostly boating) it has gotten water dumped on it without getting a drop on the inside. Im still weary of getting water on it and Im not exactly sure how water resistant this bag is, but it has impressed me so far. The only cons about this bag is the size and comfort. This bag is a perfect size for me, but is smaller than most waist style bags Ive seen and worn. The comfort is great, it fits and conforms to my body very securely regardless of how I wear it, but on hot days I will get sweaty underneath it pretty quick and there isnt any padding on the back of the bag. It would be worlds more comfortable if there was, for example, a thin foam cushion and mesh on the back, but the bag is still very comfortable if you dont cram it with too much stuff. Overall, this is the best waist pack ive had so far, it is extremely sturdy and very practical. Would definitely reccomend. Read more
