Tactical Fanny Packs - Your New Everyday Carry Pack?
A fanny pack is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread. Who doesn’t love a small bag, that is more like a backpack that can hold everything you need without being too cumbersome?
Having a tactical fanny pack in your collection of bags is the way to go for many occasions. What should you look for in an everyday tactical fanny pack? There are tons of great features included on these bags but a few in particular will make a difference in what you can take and even how you wear it.
Best Features in a Tactical Fanny Pack
One of the best features of a tactical fanny pack is the amount of items you can fit into it without weighing you down. For instance, the 5.11 Tactical LV6 3L Waist Pack 2.0 fanny pack has two outer pouches, one with a zipper and one with hook & loop, and three compartments total inside of it. Two of the inner pockets are mesh too so you can see what you have in those sections without too much trouble. One wall of this particular tactical fanny pack is completely hook & loop which is ideal for a removable holster.
The LAPG Frunk Pack also has two outside pockets, both zippered, five interior pockets total, space for five extra magazines, and an interior wall made of hook and loop which is perfect for the removable hook and loop holster that it comes with.
Tactical fanny packs provide an additional way to not only carry all of the extra gear you may need but they also enable you to carry your favorite firearm or backup firearm and accessories.
These types of fanny packs are also great because they are made out of durable, rugged, and sometimes waterproof material. This way you can carry your tactical fanny pack wherever you go without worrying about it wearing out or getting ruined in the elements.
Functional Pockets
I’d say the best feature of tactical fanny packs is all of the pockets. There are pockets for anything and everything you need! I always ensure I have my firearm, extra magazines, sunscreen, chapstick, multi-tool, pocket knife, and more in mine. Most tactical fanny packs help you stay organized by offering sections for specific items. For instance, in the LAPG Frunk Pack, I keep my pocket knife, sunscreen, multi-tool, flashlight, and chapstick in one section, and I keep my firearm and magazines in another. The LAPG Frunk pack makes everything highly accessible too. This way you don’t have to worry about scrabbling for any item including your gun. I especially like the elastic belt which holds up to five extra mags.
Tactical fanny packs enable you to carry all of your gear in one easy spot. You can even clip a water bottle on the side so you can stay hydrated. Every time I use my tactical fanny packs I have noticed that all of my gear stays in place and does not become jostled around. This is especially good for those hiking, hunting, and backpacking trips.
A tactical fanny pack is great for carrying your favorite CCW. Furthermore, you can put one of your CCWs in the pack, and have the other on your hip, and all of your extra magazines can be stored, and easily accessed in your tactical fanny pack. My 9mm handgun fits perfectly in both tactical fanny packs I own.
The Vertex SOCP Tactical Fanny Packcan hold your CCW, a knife, a tourniquet, a wallet, and more. There is even an external cellphone pocket where you can place your Smartphone and have access to it with a touchscreen window.
Wearability
One of the allure of fanny packs, in general, is the way you can wear it. Firstly, regarding a tactical fanny pack, there is more than one way to properly wear it. Most tactical fanny packs let you wear it cross-body, around your waist, or even hooked through your belt loop. This way you can wear the pack any way you prefer.
The 5.11 Tactical LV6 3L Waist Pack 2.0 is one of my favorite tactical fanny packs because it offers a discreet and easy way to fasten the fanny pack to your belt. Fanny packs are narrow and not very tall either so you can have it attached to your hip without even noticing it. If you overstuff your tactical fanny pack it will bulk up the profile of it, however, you usually don’t need to overstuff it because of all those pockets.
The great aspect of a tactical fanny pack is that it takes a traditional fanny pack and adds durability, ruggedness, and extra pockets for tactical gear. These packs are ideal for hiking up a mountainside, hunting, an additional pack while backpacking, or while target shooting. You can adjust the tactical fanny pack to your liking so it is never a burden.
Another great option is the Condor Draw Down Get II Waist Pack. This tactical fanny pack makes accessing your firearm easy yet keeps your CCW secure. The front pocket has a pull-out loop panel designed to hold an ID patch. The main compartment zips up to ensure your items are stored well. This particular pack can also be affixed to a plate carrier.
