I’d like something for my keys etc when I go running.

I still laugh whenever I hear the word “fanny pack”. In Australia we call it a “bum bag”. A “fanny” is quite different to a “bum” in Australian/UK usage. (Look it up coz I ain’t gonna say!)

I think in Europe I’d feel more comfortable wearing it for some reason. But agreed, it does look better low around the hips….

I’m not a huge fan, but the current fashions DO look cooler than a fanny pack would!!

Maybe they should make them waterproof if they fall in the toilet when you forget you’re wearing one?
At the very least a quick release button.

The way the first model is wearing it should be the way to wear it: low on the hips. Any higher would be a classic fanny pack. I may get one due to the fact I have to use a cane and it would be nice to have one hand free, but I would really have to be careful how I wear it and what I wear it with!

I agree Sara, it’s cool. But I see riding on a vespa through Rome rather than carpenter 🙂

Well, the one pictured at the top is pretty cool, in a carpenter chic kind of way.
