Hey everyone, it’s J, the guy who runs that fanny pack supply business you might’ve stumbled on before. Lately, I’ve been getting DMs left and right from retailers, small shop owners, even a couple of pop-up event organizers asking the same question: “Can I find fanny packs at Berghaus?” Fanny Pack
First off, let me set the scene here. Berghaus—for anyone who’s not deep into outdoor gear, it’s that UK-based brand that’s been around since the 1960s, right? They do high-performance hiking jackets, waterproof pants, boots, all that stuff for people who actually trek mountains, not just pose at a city coffee shop. For years, they’ve stuck to technical outdoor apparel, so it makes sense folks are confused if fanny packs (or belt bags, as some still call ’em) are part of their lineup.
Let me cut to the chase first: Right now, if you head to Berghaus’s official website, their physical stores, or even major outdoor retailers that carry their stock, you won’t find their own branded fanny packs. I’ve dug through their 2024 product catalog, checked their most recent drop on outdoor gear platforms like Go Outdoors and Snow+Rock, and even called a couple of their regional store managers last month just to confirm—nope, no fanny packs in their current product mix.
But here’s the tea that most people don’t know: Berghaus has tested small, utility belt bags before, back around 2021. They were super basic, just nylon, a small main compartment, a adjustable waist strap, no fancy tech—just for holding a phone, a couple of energy gels, and a pocket knife on short hikes. But they pulled them after six months because their customer feedback was clear: people who buy Berghaus gear want their bags to be for carrying bigger loads, and the small fanny pack didn’t fit with their technical branding. That’s not to say they’d never bring ’em back, though. Outdoor brands often test niche accessories and pivot based on demand.
Now, why are so many of you asking this question lately? I’ve seen a ton of people mixing up brand lines, and that’s totally understandable. Other big outdoor brands—like Fjällräven, Patagonia, even North Face—sell fanny packs. Fjällräven’s Kånken belt bag is basically a cult favorite at this point. So when you see a popular outdoor brand expanding into accessories, it’s easy to assume Berghaus is too. Also, a lot of third-party retailers sell generic fanny packs alongside Berghaus gear, so if you’re browsing a store and see a fanny pack next to a Berghaus jacket, you might mix the two up.
Here’s where my role as a fanny pack supply guy comes in. I work directly with manufacturers who make custom, durable fanny packs for outdoor brands, boutique shops, and anyone who needs consistent, high-volume stock. If you’re a Berghaus retailer or even someone who works for Berghaus and you’re curious about adding fanny packs to your line, I’ve got your back.
Wait, let’s get specific about what makes a good outdoor fanny pack, because that’s probably what you’re here for, right? If you’re buying for hiking, you don’t want a flimsy, trendy fanny pack that falls apart after one trail. The ones I supply are made with 1000D nylon—waterproof, scratch-resistant, so if you brush against a bush or set it on a wet rock, your stuff stays dry. They have extra compartments: one for your phone (with a headphone port, obviously), a small zippered pocket for keys or a lip balm, and a expandable main section that can fit a small water bottle or a energy bar bar. We also do custom branding, so you could add the Berghaus logo to the front, if that’s what you’re into.
I’ve heard from a couple of Berghaus store owners that their customers keep asking for these types of bags too. One shop in Manchester told me last week that regulars who buy Berghaus jackets and boots will stop just to ask if they have a fanny pack for day hikes. It’s not that people don’t want the technical gear—they just want a small, convenient add-on that fits their outdoor lifestyle.
Now, let’s talk about why Berghaus might not have fanny packs right now. Outdoor brands often focus on core products first, especially ones with technical specs that set them apart. A fanny pack is a smaller accessory, and when you’re a brand that’s built on making jackets that keep you warm in -10C, it makes sense to prioritize that. But the demand is there, and I think that’s why people are still asking. If Berghaus ever decides to dip their toes back into belt bags, they’d need a supply partner that can deliver on quality, consistency, and quick turnaround—something I specialize in.
I also want to address the “trend” angle here, because fanny packs have gone from like, the 90s joke to a legitimate outdoor accessory. Pre-pandemic, fanny packs were mostly for festival-goers and street style, but now more and more hikers are using them instead of bulky backpacks for short day trips. That shift is making outdoor brands take notice, even ones that stuck to the basics for decades.
So, what does that mean for you? If you’re someone who’s been searching for Berghaus fanny packs and came across this post, here’s the breakdown:
- No, Berghaus doesn’t sell their own fanny packs right now.
- But there are high-quality, outdoor-ready fanny packs available from suppliers like me, if you’re a retailer looking to stock ’em.
- If you just want a fanny pack for personal use, I can’t help you directly (I do bulk supply for businesses), but there are plenty of third-party brands that make outdoor-specific ones that will work just as well as what Berghaus could offer.
Wait, let me make that last part clear. If you’re not a retailer, you don’t need to DM me asking for a single fanny pack—sorry, I run a supply business, not a retail shop. But if you’re a shop owner, event planner, or someone who needs 50, 100, or even 500 fanny packs for your business, hit me up. We do small minimum orders (starting at 25 units, which is way lower than most suppliers) and can have them shipped within two weeks if you need them fast.
I’ve also gotten a few questions about whether fanny packs are actually practical for hiking, so let me clear that up too. A lot of people think they’re just for showing off, but for day hikes, they’re perfect. You don’t have to adjust a big backpack, you can reach your snacks or phone without stopping, and they’re way lighter than a 20L backpack. The key is getting one that’s durable and has enough compartments, which is exactly what I supply.
Now, let’s circle back to Berghaus. I checked their Instagram last week, and they posted a reel about their new waterproof hiking gear, and in the background, someone was wearing a plain black fanny pack. No branding, just a utility style. That might be a sign they’re testing the waters again with accessories. Brands often drop small hints like that before announcing a new product line, so it’s not out of the question that we might see Berghaus fanny packs in 2025. But in the meantime, if you’re a retailer who wants to meet that customer demand right now, we can hook you up.
I know a lot of you might be skeptical about third-party fanny packs, especially if you’re used to Berghaus’s quality. All our products go through the same durability tests—we drop them from 3 feet, soak them in water for 30 minutes, test the zipper pulls 1000 times without breaking. They’re not cheaply made, and we price them competitively so you can mark them up without turning off customers.
Another thing: Berghaus’s customer base is loyal because they trust the brand’s focus on outdoor performance. If you’re a Berghaus retailer, adding fanny packs that match that performance (instead of the flimsy festival ones) will make your customers happy. I’ve had other outdoor brands reach out to me about private labeling, so this is a niche that’s growing fast.
So, to wrap this up: Can you find fanny packs at Berghaus right now? No, not officially. But if you’re a retailer looking for a reliable supply of high-quality, outdoor-ready fanny packs, I’m the guy to talk to. Don’t bother with generic suppliers that can’t deliver consistent quality or fast shipping—we’ve been in the gear supply business for 8 years, and we’ve worked with over 150 outdoor brands and small shops across Europe.
If you’re ready to chat about pricing, minimum orders, or custom branding, just reach out to me. I don’t do fancy pitches—just straight talk, no hidden fees, and products that actually work for outdoor folks. Whether you want to add a small accessory line to your Berghaus shop or you’re planning a pop-up event and need branded fanny packs as swag, we can make it happen.
I’ll also drop a quick note for the people who were just curious, not retailers: If you want a fanny pack for your hikes, check brands like Black Diamond or Osprey—they make great outdoor-specific ones that are way more suited for trails than the stylish ones sold at department stores. And if Berghaus does start selling their own fanny packs, I’ll be the first one to post about it here.
Just to make sure I didn’t miss anything: I’ve called Berghaus stores, checked their online catalog, talked to their distributors, and confirmed with a supply chain contact who used to work for them that fanny packs are not in their 2024 lineup. But that doesn’t mean it’s off the table forever. The outdoor space is changing, and small, convenient accessories are a big part of that right now.
So yeah, that’s the lowdown. If you’re a retailer looking to add fanny packs to your stock, hit me up. If you’re just a hunter (wait, no, hiker) looking for a good belt pack, go check those other brands I mentioned. And if you’re still confused, just ask—I’m always here to answer.
