Best Backpack/FannyPack for the Park?

[pindecisive]

I thought that one was pretty cute, but I decided to get practical for once, lol.

I have the black one already, and it does go with more things

My Hubby is our packer and he uses the Maxpedition Monsoon. You can find it here:http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/MONSOON-GEARSLINGER-37p11.htm. It is a bit pricey, but its sturdy and has survive everything we have thrown at it amusement wise. He says it is super comfortable and wont use anything else. Holds a ton, stays mostly waterproof and stands up to being smooched up for rides.

I have the Dakine Cosmo 6.5L - http://www.dakine.com/p/backpacks-and-gear/lifestyle-bags/backpacks/cosmo-65l-15s?clr=LATTCEFLRL
I bought it through Zappos, but you can also buy it direct - the cost is $30. Excellent quality and very lightweight.

Scott-E-Vest is my replacement for a fanny pack or small bag. The pictures are the "classic" Travel Vest, but there are many other versions.

I love... LOVE my half pint Jansport bags. I own about 5 of them and take them everywhere from parks, to fairs, to parades.

They're small enough not to be considered a real backpack - more a purse, and large enough to carry two bottles of water, a wallet, and a thin shirt/ sweatshirt comfortably.

They have all sorts of fun designs and it's a Jansport brand. Jansport has a lifetime warranty on all bags. If they're damaged they will either fix the damage (Re-zippering, re-sewn bottom, etc.) for simply the cost of shipping it back to them or they'll replace it and send you back a brand new bag.

I had a really old Jansport leather bottom bag I bought at a goodwill I'd had for ten years. I LOVED this bag. But the bottom ripped out and the straps were fraying. I sent it back to them ($5 or less shipping) with a note that I didn't want a new one, because this was my FAVORITE bag and could they please fix it? And they sewed in a panel and fixed the straps and sent it back to me for free.

I back Jansport 100% - not everyone knows about the warranty though so I feel like it's an underutilized brand.

I need another backpack like I need a hole in my head, yet I ordered one of these last night. I used to have one of these years ago, but lost it in our last move. Thanks for posting the link.

You're welcome!

The "shipping free" sale only goes on until the 21st I think. I was like, score! I didn't need a new backpack for Disney, but hey, I could use one!

Love this bag:

It's very comfortable to wear, and has outside pockets for both cell phone and water bottle. I used it at WDW last year and just loved it!
