There are several things that are often listed as travel must-haves: travel pillows, packing cubes, and shawls, for example. But there’s a new travel must-have on the block that we really hope you consider bringing with you next time you travel. We’re talking about fanny packs, and here are the reasons why you need one.

They’re the Perfect Size

The average-sized fanny pack is perfect for wearing to the airport. It’s the exact size that allows you to carry your passport, boarding pass, phone, and any other essentials for you, like chapstick or a wallet. And you’ll love carrying it around with you in your travel destination.

They’re Safe

Because fanny packs open up in front, you’ll always be able to have it in your view, significantly decreasing the risk that people will try to break into your bag. And they’re strapped quite close to your body, so you would feel it if somebody tried to pull it off of you.

They’ll Help You Prevent Overpacking

These days, a lot of budget airlines will no longer allow people to bring personal items like backpacks on board with them in addition to their carry-on. But thankfully, you can always get away with bringing a fanny pack, which are so compact that they don’t quite register as a bag.
