Title: All Jokes Aside, Fanny Packs Are Actually Pretty Handy
Post by: ProudVirgin69 on November 26, 2013, 11:16:30 PM
Dug my vintage Jansport out and wore it around town today.  Man these things are awesome!

It's easily accessible, virtually impervious to theft, and once it's fastened around your hips you forget it's there.  But enough about your mother ;D

Room for keys, sunglasses, wallet, couple condoms, phone, and a small pistol if you're so inclined.  Plus you can put roids in it, go to the gym, and hustle the gear from your fanny pack in between sets.


I know I'm not the only one fond of fanny packs...... let's hear YOUR experiences

I have never once made use of a "fanny pack" or worn zubaz trousers.

I can't speak on zubaz personally, but otherwise you're missing out big time, brother.

Hop on the fanny-wagon and let the good times roll

Fanny packs and man purses designed for guns are so obvious. It's like my 5.11 "Tactical" (oh, brother) vest that just screams "shoot me first."

I tried to, but they slid right off my 12 inch pipe cleaners, so now I just wear the warrior face paint when I have it on. It's great for picking up chicks. Like Arnold said, "I just use my fanny pack as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street."

In all seriousness I knew a young guy at the gym yrs ago. He was an art student and wore tie dyed tank tops to the gym.  He had cut the straps into strips that looked like tassels. Nice kid but made fun of constantly.  And he read getbig.  Had no idea who I was.   ;D

You need an insanely massive build to pull off the tassel look.

True story.  I was out at the club and saw a couple IFBB pros that I knew there.  Both wearing fanny packs.  We were talking and out of the blue one unzips his fanny pack and pulls out something wrapped in foil, about the size of a deck of cards.  I'm thinking it's hash, weed or something decent.  He then pulls out a piece of steak.  I'm like WTF!  He says he needs to get his protein in and then shows me he has two more steaks in his fanny pack.

I've seen black women keep left over chicken bones in their purses, so I guess anything is possible.

Only a monumental idiot would carry steroids in a fanny pack. Which is why I wonder why they became popular in the first place? Can't find a locker, or training pants with pockets? Daisy duke jean shorts have pockets.

i have one key with no keychain. all of my membership cards are scanned and saved into my google wallet account. fewer things i need to carry around the better, IMO.

It's a conspiration to keep men from carrying stuff around.
The rulers of the fashion  industry have determined that Funny Packs are ridiculous, Purses are sissy, and so on.
Being prepared and independent is a manly trait, so prepared men will become outcasts being labeled as weirdos or effeminates for carrying utilities in a purse like object.

I actually wear a "Spi-Belt" (google it) for my phone when I train.

I don't like those belt-clip phone cases, since I have a hybrid rubber/plastic case, it won't fit in a belt clip thing..... and there's no way those phone case arm bands are gonna fit.. and i'm not gonna wear the arm band on my wrist. lol.

it's freakin perfect. it's like an elastic belt/strap, with a zippered spandex-like pouch for my phone.. since I play my music on my phone (my phone is big, I hate the tiny ipod screens).

prevents me from crushing my phone in my pocket with dumbells, or smashing it when doing pulldowns.. or doing shrugs or whatever.

I used to have to put my phone inside the front of my underwear band when doing certain movements, or twisting my pants 90degrees to the side when doing power shrugs or deadlifts, so the phone wouldn't be on my thigh and in the way.

got it from an ex gf who was an engineer for the company. freakin thing costs like 25$.. i'd never pay that much for it myself... but as a gift, it's ok.

"Small personal item" belt--sounds like a fanny pack for the new millennium.  8)

Most importantly, do you wear it to your front, side, or behind you?
