JanSport Fifth Ave Fanny Pack vs Bellroy Lite Sling

Beyond aesthetics, this pack is also well-made and durable with a narrow, highly adjustable waist strap. The design is versatile, as the pack can be worn like a sling bag or around the waist. When worn in a traditional way, the JanSport is low-profile and doesn't bounce around when walking. Plus, the Fifth Ave is one of the more reasonably priced packs in this review, adding to its appeal

The bag is so well designed, that I got compliments on the look, and it was with me everywhere on my week long trip. The bag expanded enough for a water bottle, and when I didn't have one in, it fitted my DJI OM5, two phones, and a X100F, plus my wallets and hotel cards. 10/10 would recommend

I wish the strap were a little longer though. I’m about 250lbs and I wanna wear it across my chest like all the cool kids are doing, but I’m guess I’m just too fat to look good in Jansport’s book. Or like, an optional longer strap that I would buy for an upcharge even, whatever. We’re in the ‘Eat our Feelings Great Depression’, not the ‘Starvation Conditions Great Depression’

Lightweight for those airport ad-hoc weigh-in ambushes when they want all your items included and allows me to get around for up to 48 hours on the go, especially when travelling.

This was a problem because of the content of the pack. (I cut the second pull tab off, leaving the slider body intact. Now for each compartment there's a single pull tab and zipping/unzipping happens in the same direction.)

This sling bag looks and feels like something you get for free in a promotion. feels cheap to the touch with very thing and noisy materials. The zippers got jammed when I tried to open it, and I was afraid to break it. This bag is not worth more than $19
