Sharing a roundup of readers’ favorite belt bags and why they loved them in their own words!
With summer here, I’ve happily ditched my coats and jackets. But that means, unless I’m wearing bike shorts with pockets (size up one size), I have no place to store my phone, keys, etc. during walks with Riley. I aim to go on two long walks each day with her, just as much for her movement as mine. She loves sniffing her way through the neighborhood and saying hello to virtually every person and dog we meet. It’s one of my favorite parts of our day and brings me so much joy!
I decided perhaps it was time to explore the trendy belt bag as an option to help stash my items during our daily walks and, naturally, turned to Instagram for your input. A few readers asked that I share what people said so I’ve compiled all the responses here. I did purchase one of the bags and once I give it a whirl, I’ll give it a full review here on my site.
When it came to favorite belt bags, there was a clear frontrunner. I’ll save that for the end so the others don’t get lost in the shuffle. Here we go!
Herschel
Herschel received multiple votes! Katie recommended Herschel Supply Company’s Fourteen Hip Pack as the perfect size. My friend Leacy suggests using the Herschel 1.5L for when you need to carry more.
Stoney Clover Fanny
Jenn (who you need to follow for all her Key West adventures) recommends Stoney Clover’s Classic Fanny Pack and wears hers crossbody. Miranda also voted for Stoney Clover Lane.
SpiBelt
Diana loves a SpiBelt from her running days, it’s “super slim for the essentials.”
Beis Sports Pack
“Beis sports pack also 10/10 for running errands and travel.” My two cents: I also like that this option looks more chic than the other options on the market.
Girlfriend Collective
Catie says, “Girlfriend Collective belt bag is a great size! I can fit everything I need for my dog in it plus my phone!”
Aloha Hip Packs
One reader recommended Aloha hip packs for dog walks and says it fits “a phone, key, and treats.”
And drum roll, please….
The #1 most-recommended belt bag….
Lululemon Everywhere Belt
Holy guacamole, I don’t think I’ve ever received so many Insta DMs raving about one particular item. The Lululemon Everywhere Belt was the CLEAR frontrunner! A couple of you suggested going with the extended size for comfort.
Here’s all the praise heaped on the Lululemon Belt Bag:
“I’ve been using the Lululemon before 2020 ????”
“Have had it for over a year and it’s great!”
“The Lululemon one is ????!”
“Lulu. Love it so much more than I thought I would.”
“Yes! Lulu one. I got it for this same reason too!”
“The Lululemon one is actually worth the hype!”
“The Lululemon one would actually be perfect for dog walks”
“Get the Lululemon one!!!”
“Lululemon! So worth it!”
The Belt Bag I Ordered To Try
I ordered the Lululemon Everywhere belt bag and it should arrive this weekend. I’m excited to see how it works out! I went with white so that it would go with everything. Once I’ve taken it for a proper whirl, I’ll share a full review here.
