Water-Proof Sling bag/Crossbody Backpack/Shoulder Bag with USB Charging Port for Travel, Hiking, Cycling, Camping

I bought this bag to replace one with a similar form factor from Swisstech. This bag is basically a duplicate of the Swisstech triangle sling. It has a main compartment and unpadded pocket with a thick mesh padded backing to the bag. The bag has a middle compartment with the lining used for another pocket, a front smaller pocket, a rear back pocket, and a side water bottle or umbrella pouch (if a small umbrella is used) on the side of the bag itself. The bag is lightweight and a good value for the price.The bag is made of this durable material in a nice checkered or gingham pattern in black and charcoal. The strap has a sunglasses loop and a pocket for a small phone. My Samsung A71 5G which is fairly long fits inside of in a very slim form factor phone case.Overall I am glad I bought this bag. I use it daily to commute to work. It holds my essentials like a pencil pouch, wallets, a few small toiletries, power pack, small first aid kit tin, masks, a portable fan, cords, my compact Michael Kors umbrella on the side, and my keys. The hardware is metal and clips on place but allows for the attachment of keychains or charms and charm bags too. The selling point for me aside from the familiar shape and form factor being triangular was the USB port for charging and a water bottle holder. Few sling bags and fewer triangular bags have a USB port. The port includes the cord in which the female port or head sits into. The cord itself is very long and the port fits into a plastic covering fairly tightly in the bag if you needed to remove it. It transfer power when attached to a power bank very easily. The reflective band on the front is a nice stylish accent and safety measure as it does reflect light even under artificial indoor lighting.TLDRPros:Small compact sizeNumerous pocketsUSB port with lengthy cordSunglasses loopPhone pocket on sling strapReflective bandSide pocket for water bottleMetal hardware with clips on strapNumerous color optionsGood priceLightweightCons:Lining is not the best qualityTop handle strap is cheap nylon type of loop that is single stitched into the bagPlastic zipper pullsMain inner pockets are not paddedUpdate:My bag had defect. Thankfully I was able to return and replace it with the same bag. The new bag is even better made and holds all my work essentials and extras including a fan, first aid kit, wallets, power pack, and more. The cord works as expected.Thank you Amazon.

I wasn't sure if this crossbody backpack would be large enough or as to the quality for a trip where we knew rain may be an issue. I have to say I was amazed at how much this backpack could hold and to the number of zipper compartments. At times, this backpack held my rain jacket, small purse, small travel umbrella (side pocket), passport, small blanket (during flight) and some snacks and/or extra pair of shoes (sandals). I also liked the strap for the side pocket. It kept my water bottle and/or umbrella secure, which was a problem for husbands backpack (other brand) that did not have this option. I never lost anything from the side pocket whereas the items in the side pocket of his backpack fell out (and were lost). Another cool feature of this crossbody packpack was the option to change the side of the strap. It also worked well placed in front of body and was super comfortable and breathable. Even well fully packed this bag never felt too heavy or awkward to carry. The zippers were of good quality and easy to use. I always select black for purses and packbacks but opted to go with the blue color, which I would describe as a blue/green (Jade). I loved the color and felt it was just the perfect amount of color.

Nice looking bag. Not sure how it would do it if it was submerged but we did dune buggies in Honduras with the bag. It was splashed repeatedly with water and mud. Everything inside remained dry. It cleaned up nice after being filthy. Its small so it can’t hold anything big but there are lots of pockets so it can hold a lot of smaller items and everything has it own spot.

This is my second sling bag. The first was a Waterfly and despite looking the same, it had several different features from this bag. The pros of this one include a larger hidden pocket, a larger strap pocket and a cord/port for a usb charger.The cons: The USB charging doodad doesn’t come with a dedicated pocket inside the bag for your battery pack. Also, unlike my first sling bag, this one does not have an umbrella pocket, and the water bottle pocket doesn’t stretch to accommodate thicker bottles. While the hidden pocket is bigger than my Waterfly sling bag, it lacks the structure of the former one.This bag appears to have good features, but it falls a little short compared to other brands. It’s not terrible, but it’s not as good as it could be.I will say as a note to these bags in general: they are not meant to hold much of anything. I kinda wish there were straps for a sweater or something & maybe one pocket that has some expandability. The umbrella holder on my first pack has been invaluable, but while both bags have 4 pockets each, none of them have much width and since they don’t expand, the smaller pockets become relatively useless. I like the smaller form factor, but as a tall person having a little more space to stash a sweater or hoodie would be nice. I also wish the bags that have organizational pockets inside would put em along the side and not the back or front as things just get lost in that setup; whereas if the pockets ran along the side of the bag (the depth if you will) you could keep things separate while still being able to access them. Never seen a bag with this feature so I’m not holding my breath. Still I’m surprised it hasn’t been offered, yet. If there was a bag like this the bottom pocket could hold the usb battery pack for which there is currently no pocket… just saying.(Note: This bag says it’s waterproof or water resistant at least, but I haven’t had the opportunity to test it out.)

Bought this for a trip to Alaska, it held my rain jacket, pants (plus size), gloves, my wallet and phone. Bonus it has a bottle holder. I was rained on no issues. Loved that I could switch shoulders - so no neck pain from carrying everything for long periods of time. It was perfect! Quality is very good, cushioned, heavy duty and cute. I would highly recommend and will use this all the time.
