Offering 40 different color options, the Fifteen Fanny Pack from Herschel is a smaller bag than some others and measures two by 7.75 by 6.25 inches. With one large pocket and no inside pockets for organization, this might not be the best pick for those who are looking to keep items separate. The knotted leather pull on the zipper is a nice touch, but the zipper’s said to be a little rough by some; it may not have the smoothest pull on opening and closing.

What’s great about this fanny pack is that it’s super lightweight, even when full, making it convenient when packing light. The waist band is adjustable with what is said to be a very generous length, so there’s no issue with fit, no matter how it’s worn. It’s a good inclusive pick.
