The Best Fanny Packs From MZ Wallace, Lululemon, Prada, and More

This quilted nylon belt bag is among the most versatile on this list—it works as well in the city as it does on a day hike. And if it suddenly becomes your go-to bag for weekends at home, we don’t blame you. Shop the bag in black, navy blue, or pearl white.

Leave it to Lululemon to create a versatile waist pack that's designed for an active lifestyle. The frills-free design is made with water-repellant fabric and comes in more than 10 colors. In addition to the zippered compartment, there's an easy-access exterior pocket that can fit cards, cash, or sunglasses.

Organization is a cinch with this multi-compartment sling bag. There's a quick-access back pocket, and the zippered front compartment reveals two additional pockets within. The bag (which is big enough to hold a standard water bottle) is made of water-resistant nylon and features leather trim. 

This pebbled leather belt bag keeps you hands-free in style. The belt is detachable from the bag, so you can also use it just as a belt (which is a boon when you're traveling and want to get the most out of every item you throw in your suitcase). It's made to be worn around the waist or as a crossbody, and if you'd like additional storage, Cuyana makes a small, circular pouch that you can also add to the belt. Seen here in cappuccino, the belt bag is also available in rust, black, natural snake, and ecru. 

Girlfriend Collective's fully recycled and waterproof fanny pack is the perfect size for running errands, a neighborhood walk, or a summer road trip. This simple yet stylish bag is available in sky blue, green, rosewood, and black. 

Sleek, soft, and durable, neoprene is one of our favorite fabrics, whether it's a zip-up jacket or a fanny pack, like this one from Dagne Dover. The half-pound, eco-friendly bag is lined with Repreve (a fabric made of recycled plastic bottles) and has color-plated hardware. The strap is adjustable and the interior features a handy slot for credit cards. Shop the bag in colors like heather gray, onyx, navy, and dark moss. 

This Sport Pack from Béis puts a modern twist on the classic fanny pack. Not only does this one look effortlessly cool, it's lightweight and comes with extra D-rings to hook on any essentials that don't fit inside (or that you want readily available). It also includes a strap for your water bottle. 

Cotopaxi's bold, lightweight travel fanny pack is a camping trip essential. It holds an impressive amount of gear (phone, snacks, lip balm, credit cards, more snacks, etc.) and has an adjustable webbing strap hip belt. There are two interior pockets made of mesh. 

This travel-ready pack is made of Patagonia's basically indestructible ripstop nylon fabric and has two pockets for storing all your essentials. It's available in several colors, including purple and Borealis green (pictured), and as the name suggests, is a light addition to any carry-on.

If you’re really channeling the '90s aesthetic of a fanny pack, lean in with the L.L.Bean Stowaway. It matches the decade's look to a tee, with color panels like turquoise and hot pink or navy blue, plus neon green bungee zipper ties that feel as nostalgic as those blue and purple solo jazz paper cups. Though you could wear it in the city, the super-light ripstop nylon back has been made with the outdoors in mind, so expect additional features, like a mesh back panel for extra breathability that’ll hold up on long hikes or countryside bike rides. Best of all, the whole thing can fold up into an internal pocket, making it as packable as can be.

This fanny pack will quickly become your go-to, thanks to its small profile, dual pockets, adjustable waist strap, and clean silhouette. It keeps all your belongings neatly on hand. There's even carabiner attachment inside for your keys. Seen here in milky tea tan, it's also available in acorn red and stonewash black.

Wear this Camelbak Hydration belt bag for active days in warmer destinations, like Florida or the American southwest. The best fanny pack with a water bottle holder, it holds a 21-ounce drink so you can stay hydrated while running, biking, hiking, or exploring a national park this summer. In addition to the bag's main compartment, it also features a front pocket for easy access to your phone or lip balm. 

Designed with runners in mind, the Fast and Free mini belt bag is lightweight and compact enough to keep on your waist as you move. It is stretchy enough to fit your phone, cards, and keys without the weight of a bulkier bag. The touchscreen-friendly mesh on the front allows you to tap your phone to change the song or silence a call without opening up your bag. 

This running waist bag is so light and thin, you just might forget you're wearing it. It's designed to have a more compressive fit than other belt bags so you're comfortable while working out.

Another great option for running, hiking, or other outdoor adventures. This slim fanny pack fits your essentials and shows off the signature Nike swoosh. The bright colors on this one make it a fun pick for summer trips. 

For a belt bag that is as fabulous as the pied-à-terre you’re renting in Paris, look to Prada. Made of a decadent calfskin, the bag loops through a gorgeous leather belt. It zips open along the top and feels like a purse more than a fanny pack—yet its belt means you can cinch it around a flowing dress or loop it through structured pants for a day of hitting the museums in style.

This soft pebbled leather belt bag is both functional and stylish. Its multiple pockets give you as much space as a crossbody while still making your outfit look chic and well put-together. 

Aimee Kestenberg's leather waist pack is a tie-dye dream that lets you bop around town without a bulky bag getting in the way.

You won’t be able to fit much more than the essentials in here, but the minimalist design makes it easy to transition from day to night, paired with a sleek long coat, jumpsuit, or pantsuit. 

Danish brand Rains designs with Danish weather in mind—meaning they make entirely water-resistant products, like stylish raincoats and, now, a fanny pack. The mini belt bag is slim in profile and utterly simple in design with just one main zippered pocket and an adjustable buckle strap. You can easily wear it as a cross-body or around your waist under your raincoat without it sticking out. Thanks to the lightweight polyester material, it will keep your stuff 100 percent dry in drizzly weather. 

This water-repellent waist pack made from recycled materials is a great size for hikes and camping trips. It has two zippered compartments and side pockets on the interior that give you enough room to store a snack and hand sanitizer while on-the-go. 

Swedish brand Fjällräven unsurprisingly nailed an effortlessly chic pack. The super-light bag—it weighs less than five ounces—is great for hikes, and has three zippered compartments that can fit small items like sunscreen and power bars. Seen here in pink, it's also available in corn yellow, black, royal purple, and arctic green. 

It’s no secret that we’re fans of cult luggage brand Baboon. From their duffels to the totes, everything they make comes in bright, eye-popping colors and unisex shapes that are easy to wear. Their three-liter fanny pack is no exception. The water-repellent nylon is durable without looking too sporty, and the mix of colors to choose from is anything but boring. Even better, this medium-sized bag has plenty of compartments, including a backside zipper for keeping valuables safe, and an interior clip to grab hold of your keys or wallet. Because of the size, it's also super versatile, and can hold its own whether you’re hitting the streets of Seoul or hiking in Oregon.

This belt bag is on the larger side, so it's best for day trips when you might need to carry some extras like snacks, a water bottle, or even a bathing suit. It is made of scratch-resistant nylon and has an adjustable strap that lets you wear it as a crossbody if you prefer. 

Believe it or not, this small wonder is a diaper bag. That's right—there's no need for a jumbo diaper bag when you've got this parent-approved fanny pack slung around your waist. The outer compartment rolls out a detachable changing pad, while the inner compartment has enough room to neatly store changing essentials, snacks, a phone, keys, and cards. 

Everlane's durable, high-quality bag can be worn as a hip bag or a crossbody. It's made of 100 percent recycled polyester and is available in four neutral shades. True to its name, the Transit bag has you covered whether you're on foot, biking, or taking an Uber downtown.
