SEAFEWSmall Black Sling Crossbody Backpack Shoulder Bag for Men Women, Lightweight One Strap Back Pack Sling Bag Backpack for Hiking Walking Biking Travel Cycling USB Charger Port-Nylon

I needed a sling that could carry my iPad mini, journal, and my EDC pouch and this does exactly that. I was looking at the Vans/Champion sling pouches but they were overpriced for the quality you're getting. This is affordable but its actually great quality. The zippers are easy to use and durable and the shoulder pad is incredibly well designed and soft. It doesn't get irritating like other brands. The additional pockets are great if I need to throw a quick snack in the front pocket or receipts. So many pouches and pockets and holders/straps. Just a lot of versatility here. Definitely beats the look of a fanny pack. My dad is jealous and wants one for himself now too.

Full disclosure, I have never used any sort of small backpack, fanny pack, etc, so I was hesitant at first, but my wife insisted that I bring something on our trip. This crossbody backpack was perfect for our trip to Japan. For under $30 it was a great purchase. I honestly was not sure if I would use it, however after using it the first day I couldn’t head out without it.Comfort: It was extremely comfortable wearing it on my back while walking around Japan, and just as comfortable and easy to switch to the front while riding the many, many transit trains. I hooked a carabiner to one of the loops for the strap and used it to carry extra souvenir bags, it worked great. I had some heavy bags and it held up well, just a little more strain on my shoulder strap, but it freed up my hands which was useful while riding the trains.Capacity: I carried two portable chargers, pocket wifi, passport, water bottle, hat and gloves, compact umbrella, sunglasses, snacks, and hand sanitizer each day. I was also able to put smaller souvenirs inside and hook larger bags on my carabiner outside. The integrated usb port was very useful.Durability/Water Resistance: I wasn’t sure if it would keep dry in the rain. However, after a day outside when we got about 5 hours of consistent, moderate rain, it kept everything dry inside (my wife used the only umbrella so I had no cover). After heavy use for seven days it is still in great condition with no failures.This will be my go-to travel crossbody.

I was looking for a small day pack for sightseeing. Enough to carry a light jacket, water bottle, sunscreen, battery pack, and other small essentials. I love the features of this bag. The sunglasses hook, the clasp around the strap so you can change sides or hook it around a chair, the charger port plug, the waterproof-ness, the somewhat hidden/not easily accessible pockets on the front. Perfect size for a small day bag for a small female. Was a little small for my dad's back and not sure if a men's jacket would fit inside while having room for other things unless it was really packable. It was almost perfect, however, I wish this company made the same bag except with two straps as a backpack. The nice thing about a sling bag is you can easily wear it on your front instead of your back so you can keep an eye and arm around it in busy areas like a metro, or you can easily pull it around to the front to access something in the bag. I thought I would like this, but the downside of a sling bag that I can't get past is it slides down and tends to swing around when you don't want it to. I decided to take this bag for a test run on a bike ride with just a few things in it: water bottle, car keys, phone, ear bud case. But as I was riding, the bag would falls towards my lower back then swing around to the front even with the strap tightened to the smallest setting. Perhaps it was the weight of the water bottle but this is something I would realistically carry so unfortunately that was too annoying for me. Even when I wasn't on a bike and tried it on with nothing in it, I didn't like how low it sat on my back. Now this could be obvious to some, and you might be reading this while saying "well duh it's a sling bag what did you expect" but for those who haven't tried one before, that was my hot take. I personally would prefer to have two straps to distribute the weight evenly as well so one shoulder isn't hurting and you don't have to constantly switch between shoulders. That's just my personal presence I discovered along the way. Anyway, if you can get past what I described above and don't mind sling bags, then this is a really nice bag and I'm bummed that it didn't work out for me because I really do like the features. Hope this helps.

I love this backpack! I got it in medium and small. Each size is great for the purpose that I am using it for. I find that there is still plenty of space despite whatever I put in it. My friends call it my Mary Poppins bags because they carry a lot despite their unassuming sizes. My best friend borrowed the small one on a trip. She loved it so much I let her keep it as she went on her separate way. I loved it so much, I replaced it when I got back. I had purchased the large as well, but returned it because I realized at that point a traditional backpack would be better for my shoulders. I purchased the traditional style backpack from Seafew as well as it had similar features to the sling backpacks. I have had the slings for a couple years now and the material is very durable and sleek. They don't show any signs of wear. I always get compliments when I use them. I totally recommend!

I took me a while to find a bag that met my wants and needs, (enough pockets, comfortable, looks good, not too big) and this bag was it! I get so many compliments on it. So easy to travel with and great for daily use. Highly recommend.
