Curieux88Didn't say anything is wrong with it. Just think it's funny to rename something in order to sell it for $25

Curieux88I think that's pretty obvious by this drop... The point is for something with minimal use to be priced that high is ridiculous. If you love it then buy it but it doesn't change it's purpose or value based off that purpose. Just saying dude

KeithKIt's 1000D Cordura you can wear as a cross-body bag. $25 is cheap, but I guess it's all perspective...

KeithKCorrect me if I'm wrong, but your initial comment gave me an impression of "oh this is just a fanny pack. it can't possibly be $25". I think that's what most people think due to its reputation. I think that's why they avoided using the word fanny pack. "something with minimal use" is personal. Someone who travels/moves a lot could find a fanny pack to be very useful. If it's made with high quality material and good labor, then it can be expensive just like anything else.

Curieux88Avoiding the use of the word doesn't all of a sudden not make a product what it truly is. This is a $25 fanny pack. That's it. If you feel that this product is something else or a new innovative type of fanny pack, then good for you, go ahead and support this drop. I will not, I think it's trying to sell something as better than it really is, which is deceitful. I called it out, and as you said, my comments are personal to me, as is a public forum like this discussion block. We are allowed to have discussions and state our comments here, not adjust ourselves to you or others sensibilities. If you don't like it, move on.

KeithKyou are talking as if something is wrong with this $25 fanny pack. I just wanted to know the meaning behind the your comment that it's a fanny pack. i guess there was none.

Curieux88You should go back and re-read my post, it answers your question multiple times. Also there is nothing wrong with a $25 fanny pack. I don't necessarily agree that renaming a product and then asking a higher price for it is honest though. Again, like the many times I've said before, if you feel so strongly about this product, by all means support it with a purchase. Having a spirited debate about fanny packs is not how I saw my day starting off lol.

KeithKSee, here's the problem. They didn't come up with a new name for it. they just called it a bag, which is true. it's a bag. Manhattan Portage is a company name, and alleycat is the model name. Then you suddenly said "it's a fanny pack!". Well, yes, it's a fanny pack and also a bag. If someone sees an Audi A4, and says "it's just a car!". Would you be wondering why the one said that? Re-read your comment. "Just think it's funny to rename something in order to sell it for $25" clearly indicates that this fanny pack shouldn't be $25. Thanks for pointing out that this bag is also called a fanny pack. Very informative for everyone.

KeithKha now i get it. you just dont like anyone who wears fanny packs. Hence you don't think fanny pack should ever cost $25. I'm glad you find trolling entertaining. your argument that they renamed this fanny pack to sell at a higher cost is clearly wrong, and you can't explain why it can't be $25.
