    They sort of are, as fanny packs, but it’s probably because traditional backpacks can be heavy, and leaning forward to control balance is far easier than bending backwards, our spines just aren’t really made for it, so backpack makes more ergonomic sense.

      This raises a good question: why do we call them fanny packs? Why are we so afraid to acknowledge and use frontpacks?

        why do we call them fanny packs?

        Isn’t that what they hang over?
