Peak Gear Travel Sling Bag. Compact Crossbody Bag | Lighter and Smaller than a Backpack | Lifetime Lost & Found ID Tag

I purchased this Peak Gear bag in 2020, and has held up remarkably well as my only daily bag. After daily use for the last four years I'm only seeing minimal wear and tear. No major - or even minor fraying really. Just a bit on the keychain loop at the top, and the interior zipper pouch. At first it seemed on the smaller side, and definitely has a thin profile - but man it holds a surprising amount. Definitely everything I need to handle most daily situations, and I've never been asked to remove it at venues that normally don't allow big purses or backpacks. For me, it holds: MAIN POCKET: inhaler, hand sanitizer, gum, e-cig, travel size lotion, travel size pack of toothpicks, kleenex. scentbird cologne tube and a poopouri in the pen holders. a battery pack, super short usb-c cable, galaxy buds, and mirror/brush compact in the interior hanging pocket. the interior zipper pouch holds a xl shower/body wipe and medium sized vaultz diagonal zipper bag loaded with travel sizes of imodium, listerine mini brush, tylenol, pepto tablets, claritin, eyeglass wipe, condom x 2, lube packet, and dude wipe. i keep these small things in a removable pouch so there isn't a bunch of loose stuff randomly in the bag. KANGEROO POCKET: foldable reusable shopping bag, small clipped on knife. EXTERIOR ZIPPER POCKET: this one usually goes unused, as once the bag is full up the exterior zipper pouch can't expand much - but it does get occasional use for receipts, folded paper, and sometimes my flat front pocket style wallet. All this and it only bulges to about 3.5" at it's thickest point. I don't think it's waterproof, but I've worn it in the rain several times and never had an issue with water getting inside - even with the little headphone/charger hole on the side. Definitely go for this if you want something uber discreet and durable.

I love this bag. It's small enough to carry comfortably at my side or cross-strapped across my chest-- and yet, big enough to carry all that I need to take with me. I'm a male, if that's important, and I'm able to carry all the essentials plus more! When I first received the bag I encountered a slight issue; however, Karen from their Customer Service line rectified it straight away. To make things even better: she was very kind, helpful, and-- because this is rare amongst most customer service reps-- continued the service until *everything* was straightened out :) She even contacted me afterwards to make sure I was satisfied! Wow! To top it all off, she was very respectful. I felt like she actually cared for me, a random customer, enough to present a wondrous customer service experience. I really felt like I was part of the family! I would suggest purchasing this bag based off of the design, build, and lightweight design alone... But, I would urge you even more to do so strictly based off the Customer Service alone. I am definitely coming back to this store because of the top notch Customer Service-- they really do care for their customers.

I've had bags like this before, but they would all get twisted around. This one has a firm, wide strap, so it lays flat against my back. The strap also can switch sides, so I can throw the bag over either shoulder. It's great for keeping a bunch of small items like phone, keys and wallet. I use it when wearing gym clothes that don't have good pockets. One downside: the outer pocket is triangular shaped and a little open on the sides, so small items tend to fall out. So I don't use that pocket much. The zippered pocket behind it is secure.

I was headed to Universal Studios and wanted a small sling pack that could hold my wallet, cellphone, sunglasses, sunblock...and a few other small items. This bag was very comfortable, had a perfect inside zip pocket that allowed me to ditch my big wallet and safely carry my ID, a credit card and a little cash. It has a nice sleek look. The quality also seems good, as I was pulling it on and off and shoving it in lockers so I could get on rides and it still looks brand new. I do a lot of travelling and am excited to take my new little bag with me! The ONLY suggestion I would have for Peak, should they do any design changes, would be to make the strap have the ability to break down so it can be turned into a fanny pack. I understand this may increase the price, but my little sister had a bag by Vera Bradly that had a removable strap extender...so when I had to put my bag in a locker to get on a ride, she was able to remove the extender strap, and wear it as a fanny pack, which was allowed. Plus, when traveling, I just think it would be nice to have the option. Sometimes the sling strap on a big chest looks a little funny, so rocking the fanny pack would be a nice option...lol. This bag is really terrific and it is refreshing to not pay a fortune for something of such quality!

I'm not the traditional purse type of girl, so I've been hunting for other options that I can wear over my shoulder or as a crossbody when needed. I love the design of this one, great quality. Compact and sleek are good words to to describe it, but I should've paid a little more attention to the dimensions. It can definitely hold essential items, like phone, keys, wallet, battery pack etc., but I like carrying extra stuff (I'm a "just in case" person). This one is just too compact for what I like to carry on a daily basis, but I recommend this for people that travel light or just want the option of a compact bag depending on the occasion. I like it enough that I'm going to keep it, I think it'd be great to use for a day trip to the city or something, where I'd only bring necessities with me.

I bought and returned two. The design allows it to rest comfortably and controllably (either shoulder) and, most importantly, discreetly.. If not over loaded, it fit under my jacket. Let me back up, I bought this to safely carry passports, cash, wallet, phone and maybe a very small camera in places known for pick pockets. worked like a charm for that. Materials and stitching seemed well done. HOWEVER, the "magnetic catch" on the first one I bought popped off the first day I wore it. I returned and bought another. I wore that one for a week in some fairly sketchy places and felt totally secure. Used it for a trip where somebody in my party lost $450 in cash and his credit cards from his front pocket on same walk. But I got home and noticed that the "magnetic catch" sewing was well on it's way to coming undone. The magnet is a cheap solution which is a surprise since the rest of the pack, materials, sewing, zippers are all above average quality. Velcro? Snap rings? Anything but that darn magnet. So again, this bag is not a camera bag but a descrete valuables carry that's comfortable for hours, goes right or left easily and nearly invisible if you're into basic back wear. It won't really take even a small camera (Sony A6600 with a small 50mm lens) unless it's tiny (Sony RX100 maybe). Nice collection of pockets on the outside (change? flash cards? ), inside (map, snacks?) and deep zippered inside (passport, cards and other super important stuff). So there you are, I bought two, loved them and returned both.

The company shipped it out right away, so I received it quickly. The bag seems of good quality and design. I was initially hoping it would hold my iPad, and it does kind of. You just won’t be able to zip it up, but it does have a snap that secures it from falling out. This is fine with me because I don’t normally carry my iPad on me. I really just use the bag as a man purse. I keep both my work and personal phones, keys, wallet, headphones, charge cables, extra battery pack, passport, and other small items inside. I actually like the size and design, and I’m glad it isn’t bigger. I travel internationally a lot and often to unstable places, so I like how I can swing it around to the front and tighten it close to my body to avoid pick pockets. I can’t vouch for durability at this point because I haven’t had it long enough, but I promise I will put it to the test. It is rare for me to ever have a bag last more than a year. It came with the Returnme tag which seems optimistic, but what the hell. I went ahead and registered it, which was easy.

It’s a very chic, nice, compact design, and very well made. When one first looks at it, it seems that it will barely fit anything, but it fits quite a lot. The zippers are smooth and the return tag is a cool feature. I’d been looking for a small sling pack for a ridiculously long time, to be honest, but I’m glad I did a lot of research, because this little pack is lovely! I only recently received it, so I haven’t used it for long or washed it but from all I’ve described, I’m quite sure that it will hold up well. I’m surprised that such a good quality bag is so inexpensive. I’ve received enough poorly made merchandise through Amazon so this is a great surprise!
