A bum bag, also known as a hip pack or fanny pack, is a compact bag worn around the waist or across the body. It keeps essentials like snacks, phone, keys, and maps easily accessible during hiking, cycling, or festivals, allowing you to travel hands-free and stay organised without the bulk of a backpack. 

Bum bags offer quick access to high-use items, keep valuables secure and within sight, and reduce shoulder strain compared to backpacks. Their lightweight design encourages minimal packing, making your trek more comfortable and efficient. They’re also harder for pickpockets to target when worn on the front. 

Many bum bags are made with water-resistant materials to protect contents from light rain and splashes. For full waterproof protection, check product details or choose models designed specifically for outdoor use, which often feature robust, weatherproof construction. 

Yes, bum bags are versatile and can be worn around the waist, across the chest, or on the back, depending on comfort and activity. This flexibility makes them suitable for hiking, festivals, travel, and everyday errands. 

Bum bags are designed for small essentials—typically holding snacks, a phone, wallet, keys, and sometimes a small water bottle. While they don’t replace a backpack for larger loads, they’re perfect for items you need quick access to on the move. 

Absolutely. Bum bags are popular for daily commutes, running errands, concerts, and festivals, offering a stylish and practical way to keep valuables close and hands free.
