Why we like it

The Everlane Renew Transit Fanny Pack is up there in sustainable picks for travel fanny packs with its construction from 100% recycled polyester. It’s made from 9.3 (yes, 9.3!) recycled plastic bottles.

The bag features excellent organization with two external zip pockets and a main compartment with an internal divider. And that’s about it! This is a pretty simple waist bag and belt bag, so you won’t find bells and whistles like key straps, phone pockets or anything that takes away from this very minimal design from Everlane.

The adjustable strap allows for versatile wear as either a fanny pack at the waist, or crossbody bag, with a fit range from 20.5” to 36.25”. For some women who are petite like me (Becca), you may find that this belt bag, with it being an oversized style, doesn’t feel right to be worn at the waist, so going crossbody is a cuter and more appropriate style!

Considerations

The higher price point reflects the sustainable materials and the Everlane brand, as well as the minimalist vibe and the fact that the style is both on-trend and timeless. For me, it’s the black hardware that makes this fanny pack a winner for investing in, for travel.

As for sustainability, I have to comment here: while most components are recycled, some zippers and trim are not 100% recycled. Everlane says they are working to improve this, so we’ll look forward to an update.

Lastly, the limited color options could be restrictive for some travelers. If you’re looking for a bright, patterned or multi-color belt bag, I’d probably say look elsewhere from another brand in our list of recommendations!

The last thing to note is that there is not a ton of internal storage like mesh pockets, interior zippers or options for storing tiny things. You’d have to use your own stash pouch for staying organized if you have lots of small items to take with you.

About Everlane

Everlane focuses on sustainable, high-quality products with transparent manufacturing practices. The brand’s dedication to sustainability and quality makes it popular among eco-conscious travelers who want sustainable gear.

For me, Everlane is synonymous with minimal, timeless and urban styles. Their products can be dressed up or dressed down, and the quality is something that I value. Most of the things I’ve seen from Everlane can stand out as statements on their own, or blend in, if you are the minimal and timeless type (like me).
