Only a waist pack, simply because fanny packs just don't look right when worn as a sling. it's like you took a fanny pack, and now you're wearing it as a sling because you're too embarrassed to wear it as a fanny pack.

I want to vomit every time you use the top camera. Too bad considering it's the best way to show things live. Please, consider putting it on the side, or upside down (to see as you do...)
I'm glad I bought mine months ago. I got the old design which I like much more than this one. I also like the old material. I got caught in a few rain storm in Disney a few times and it held up perfectly. I also like the size and shape and it will age beautifully. Ok I'll stop now lol guess my point of not liking this one much has been well made hahaha. Thanks for another great video.
In the US it's called a Fanny Pack. In Australia we call them Bum Bags. However I hope to one day live in a world where they are universally known as Booty Satchels.
Hey RWw - from testing, we found that it was on the smaller side for Nathan, but it still worked well. It was a much better size for myself (Rebecca). Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! 😊👍 - Rebecca
Both have unique features, but the D1 has more organization. You can view in-depth reviews of both below! WANDRD D1 Fanny Pack: packhacker.com/travel-gear/wandrd/d1-fanny-pack/ Trakke Banana Crossbody Bag: packhacker.com/travel-gear/trakke/banana-crossbody-bag/ -Eric
Hey Poppins Purses - depending on the size of your sunglasses case and the pouch, it sounds like the Aer Day Sling packhacker.com/travel-gear/aer/city-sling/ will be a good option due to the shape of the sling being more rectangular for your pouch. However, we were still able to hold a solid sunglasses case in the Trakke Banana Crossbody Bag packhacker.com/travel-gear/trakke/banana-crossbody-bag/ which you can check out in our usage images in the full written review. Hope this helps! - Rebecca

Would you wear this as a sling or a waist pack? Or not at all?
Not really good if you carry a camera so a no for me. How about a 5L-10L bag review that has multiple uses for camera, travel, and edc gear.

I actually like the 5+ liter oblong shaped ones better, because they don't remind me of the old school fanny pack😊
waist pack

Check out the Parker Hip Pack from Defy Bags!
Thanks for sharing Gordon, is this your go-to hip pack? 😊

Looks too small for Nathan.

Pack Hacker Yes, it looked like a much better fit on you.
I'm around Nathan's size and I just bought this hahaha

Still a fanny pack. LOL
Hey venom5809 - sounds like you're not a sling fan. What's your go-to organizer/ daypack? We'd love to hear what works for you! 😊

question for a girl - to carry wallet, hard sunglass case and phone and another pouch, would you recommend this or the Aer Day sling 2?
Hey Poppins Purses - depending on the size of your sunglasses case and the pouch, it sounds like the Aer Day Sling packhacker.com/travel-gear/aer/city-sling/ will be a good option due to the shape of the sling being more rectangular for your pouch.
