Versatile Pack for Hiking/Travel/Gym
I enjoy the versatility of this pack. I use it as depicted and also as a front pack across the chest. I use it for the gym, travel, and day hikes. For the gym it’s nice because the material is water resistant for shower items (I put soap, etc in ziplocks within). Perfect for travel, for weekend trips/flights it fits everything I need plus my noise canceling headphones and handheld console in the back pocket (Switch). For hiking, if I’m carrying my larger water bottle, it’s good to fit bug spray/sunscreen, first aid, sunglasses, small towel and other items. I believe it could easily fit a small water bottle as well. Overall, solid pack and more versatile than the smaller shoulder/fanny packs out there but obviously bulkier.
Perfect on trail with the dog
I bought this to use for hikes with our dog on forest land near home. It’s perfect to store my phone, keys a water bottle and an assortment of other items needed for hike between 1-3 hours. There are plentiful options for different pockets to use, and the pack sits comfortably and is easy to access on the go. This isn’t a backpack, and I didn’t want a backpack for dog hikes, so this provides the ideal option to travel light while having the essentials at my disposal. I haven’t used the extra strap and don’t foresee a need for that. If I can keep this pack clean it may become a go-to carry on for air travel, but that would be a bonus benefit.
EDC sling that just works
It just feels like it’s the perfect size for my specific and routine usage. The sling itself is thin, but that’s fine because I don’t overload the bag, which is a wild thing to do with a sling of this size. The extra strap for stabilizing is fine, but I don’t plan to use it unless I’m rushing around or on an outdoor hike. It’s a “nice to have”. I use this primarily for social outings and day trips in an urban setting during the winter: fleece blanket rolled up and tied on the bottom for using at outdoor brewery seating, front small pocket with hand warmers, keys, and chapstick, and inside pocket with kindle, external battery pack, pens, small notepad, and a pack of cards. I keep it simple.
The best sling bag out there
I cannot recommend this bag enough! I did a lot of research to try to find the perfect sling and actually stumbled upon this unexpectedly in the REI store. I was looking for something versatile with organized pockets and also a comfortable enough sling strap. I love that this can be used on both shoulders And the organization is better than larger. NAME brands have. This fits my iPad, it fits a Kindle, if it’s a small water bottle, everything you might need. I work in the events world and can carry my iPad and my large walkie-talkie and tape measures with ease. I also use it for hikes with my dog and it holds everything we need and sits comfortably on my shoulder. If you need a high functioning sling bag, this is for you!
Poor materials + mediocre strap = instant return
I was really disappointed in this bag. The materials are really flimsy - I don’t really trust it to be durable. And the bag was really uncomfortable fully loaded - the straps don’t articulate all that well, and the strap is thin. It also couldn’t hold as much as a 7L bag as it’s pretty narrow. It does have good pockets - I really appreciate the secure zippered internal pocket - the external attachment points are a nice touch. I think with higher quality materials and a better strap it’d be a winner of a bag. But until then, it was a very easy return.
Purse
I am having trouble figuring out the way the strap is to go. There was also an additional strap inside the purse which made no sense at all. I am taking the purse over to my daughter's to see if she can figure it out.
Great little bag
Very well made lightweight crossbody bag. Able to store many things inside and still maintain a compact lightweight bag
