![]() Finally, for as many features as this fanny pack has, it’s fairly affordable, even without BDS Tactical’s generous military discount. The fanny pack is also scalable, with MOLLE webbing all over, and two MOLLE “wings” that stick out from the sides, allowing the mounting of various pouches, usually water bottle pouches, compasses, and tourniquets from what I’ve seen. The BDS Tactical fanny pack holds a lot of stuff without limiting your waist mobility as much, because the fanny pack expands outward, rather than downward, so even though I was able to fit my Fujifilm XT4, 70-300 lens, and spare batteries in the fanny pack, I was still able to move as normal, provided I didn’t lay down on my fanny pack. This helps to make this fanny pack lance corporal-proof, and it survived a nasty butt-slide down the rocky paths on Range 400 at Twentynine Palms without any tearing, and then made good as new with a quick wash. As other brands move towards lighter 500D and 330D Cordura, or high-tech materials like Dyneema, BDS made the decision to go with the much heavier, but much more durable option. ![]() The BDS Tactical Fanny Pack is made of 1000D Cordura, which is very uncommon these days. The BDS Tactical Fanny Pack was described by my staff sergeant as reminiscent of old-school Eagle Industries gear, which he most definitely meant as a compliment, owing to the absolutely indestructible construction. Between its Super Admin Pouch and today’s subject, its Tactical Fanny Pack, there’s not a single rifle squad, gun section, or truck crew that I’ve seen, active or reserve, who doesn’t own at least one of these two products. The main compartment cannot be opened wide, meaning that if you have large hands, or are trying to draw out or put in a large object, this could be problematic.īDS Tactical of Oceanside, California, is no stranger to our gear department, having made our list of best gun belts and making a cummerbund upgrade kit that’s arguably the best thing to ever happen to the issued USMC Flak. The material is also very loud, rustly, and cheap-feeling, seeming to be the most durable material they could get for the lowest price. The material may be sturdy, but the stitching is not, with loose, spaced-out stitching on critical stress points like the corners near the straps. While the Fifth Avenue fanny pack may be everything you need for travel or a trip to the gym, it’s far from tactical. All in all, it does everything that most people need a fanny pack to do, and that’s why it’s our baseline standard for what a fanny pack needs to achieve. Plus, it’s constructed from a fairly durable 600 Denier polyester, comes in a variety of fun colors, and costs around $20. ![]() It’s designed with two pockets - the main compartment and a zippered pocket - to deliver 2.5 liters of storage, so you can fit pretty much everything you need for your daily routine, and then some. Currently, the JanSport Fifth Avenue is one of the most popular fanny packs on Amazon with a 4.8-star average from nearly 6,500 reviews. When you think of a fanny pack, a JanSport fanny pack probably comes to mind.
