WATERFLY Crossbody Sling Backpack Sling Bag Travel Hiking Chest Bag Daypack

Took on vacation for a week. Works well. I was able to carry 2 16.9 oz water bottles, pocket knife, handful of hard candies, pack of gum, wallet (& separate work credentials wallet), car keys (has a built in key leash), 4oz thing of sunscreen, and my EDC g43 with an extra magazine (I am authorized for this carry type- check your laws before you do it, be safe!). This fits in the inside pocket that is close to the body. There is no dedicated area for an item like this, but it fit fine in the holster- just resting there next to my creds, but secure within the bag. Still was able to quickly accessand draw after a little practice. I felt comfortable carrying this way, and felt it was secure and easy to access if needed.There was room for my big phone (S23ultra) as well- in the opposite larger inside pocket- but I kept it in my pant pocket.Is easy to access to all pouches while wearing. Was comfortable with the bag sitting on front side, sort of hanging under my left arm- near the waistline, if you can picture that (about at my 10 o'clock).Fully loaded it was heavy- but that's my fault not the bags, after all I had some items most folks won't be hauling around. There were no issues with zippers. Liked the front open pocket, I was able to add a 3rd water bottle in there but that added to much weight for my preference and kept just the 2 in the side mesh pockets.The strap is half padded. When i tried to wear the pack with it on my back, the non padded portion of the strap was uncomfortable against my body. I actually preferred the pack in front to the side so it was fine for me. It has a sunglasses pouch on the strap. I kept my shades on my hat when not wearing , but I can tell you it held my wife small insulin kit (pen, needles,alcohol wipes, spring lance, cotton balls, etc.) perfectly.The only thing I'm concerned with was the stitching- while I didn't see anything coming undone, looking at it under full load it seems to have alot of stress on the stitching points. No failure yet but if it does happen I'll advise and update here. The zippers and pockets seem well secured, and prides enough security for my stuff. Strap length is good and plenty for me.Overall would recommend for anyone looking to go on a pocket diet. It was very nice to wear loose summer pants with minimal stuff in the pockets (and waistline- my CCW people know this!). Takes a minute to get used to this thing on your body, but was well worth it. Will use again whenever we go somewhere where we'll be doing alot of walking. Comes in alot of colors and there is no smell on mine as someone else reported.For reference I'm 6' around 230 (give or take:-))

Ordered this for trip to Universal studios.Pros: large enough inside to fit sunglasses case, eyeglasses case ( both) bottle of sunscreen , hand sanitizer, 2 cell phones, small bottle of ibuprofen ( yes, you will need that in universal) . Water resistant . Went on water ride phone dry . Also can switch from one side to anotherI also used the clip to put my water bottle on it. Was heavy but workedCons: if you are tall and put it on the longest setting it's pretty high up on your chest , wish it was longer

Edit to add: I never really appreciated how comfortable this bag was until I had to replace it and chose to go with something different. Even though this bag has some issues - see below - it is easily the most comfortable crossbody pack I have ever tried (and I have tried many!)I am 5' 7", around 115lbs, and have narrow shoulders and chronic upper back pain. I'd never really noticed that this thing has padding in the spots that make contact with my shoulder and my back until now. Plus, something about how the weight is distributed with this bag just works well for me. So, yeah. I'll probably end up ordering a new one after all. Maybe I can, like, add super glue to the seams around the phone pouch and replace that clip before it breaks next time.Update October 15 2023: They fixed the zipper on the phone pouch but the pouch still fell apart. The plastic clip is also still a problem. (See pics.)I have now purchased this bag 3 times, most recently in December 2022. This is something I've never done with any other bag or purse, but I really like this one and it's nearly perfect for hiking with my dog and general everyday use. (I ditched my purse and started just using this bag for everything a while ago!)On the most recent bag, I was impressed that they had reinforced the zipper on the cell phone pouch. That zipper had broken on my previous two bags and other reviewers had reported the same issue. This newly reinforced zipper hasn't broken on me yet.However, one of the fabric edges at the bottom of the phone pouch started separating at the seam only a few weeks after I got it and has only gotten worse with time. I've still been using the thing, lol, but at this point it's close to being too big to keep my phone from falling out.Now, if I had applied fabric glue or fray check or even just super glue when it first started I probably could have prevented it from getting any worse and it would have looked good as new, but I just never had the time to mess with it. (Plus, I would've had to use a different bag for at least a day while it dried and I honestly couldn't be bothered.)In addition, a few days ago the plastic clip that clips the strap onto the bag - the thing that makes it repositionable from one side to the other - popped apart. (The same thing happened on my previous bag as well.) I snapped it back in, but it's happened a few more times since then with increasing frequency. Finally, a few days ago it popped apart again on a hike, dumping my bag onto a muddy trail in the middle of a rain storm, so I finally gave in an ordered a different bag. :(Previous review:I bought this in Feb. 2021 to use for daily 3-5mi hikes with my dog. It was so comfy and convenient that it ended up replacing my purse as well, becoming the only bag I've carried until now (July 2022).I love the convenient phone pocket on the strap, the multiple pockets inside the main compartment, the capacity, and the fact that I can switch the strap from left shoulder to right shoulder. I especially love that it has two water bottle pockets on the sides of the bag that easily fit average sized water bottles, allowing me to carry enough water for myself and for my dog in the summer.There are also multiple places to attach a carabiner clip or S-biner to in order to carry a folding water bowl and a poop bag holder for the pup. To top it all off, the strap is wide enough and comfortable enough to make carrying the bag for long distances a breeze.Unfortunately, about 6 weeks ago the cell phone pocket zipper broke. I've actually still been able to use the pocket by tying a broken hair elastic around the it, providing an elastic restraint to hold my Moto Stylus G5 in the pocket -- as long as I don't bend over, it stays put.But then, a few days ago, part of the strap clip popped out. It's a kind of plastic rod that inserts into a socket and allows the strap to spin around in any direction, making it possible to switch the strap from left shoulder to right shoulder. Anyway, I was able to snap it back in, but it has popped out a few more times since then, and each time the plastic piece that holds the socket together wears down a little more. So, unfortunately, I'll need to replace the whole bag very, VERY soon. (Like, now.)That said, other than those two issues, every other part of the bag has held up impressively well. None of the other zippers have broken and there are no tears or rips in any of the seams or fabric. Both water bottle holders are still intact, despite the mesh material. The bag still looks great as well. And I'm really not exaggerating when I say that I have beat the crap out of this thing.While I hate having to throw yet another mostly intact thing into the garbage (and from there into a landfill ☹️), for the price I paid for this bag and the amount of wear and tear it survived I think it was definitely worth the money. I'll also probably buy another one and hope that my next one holds up as well as this one did.

This was perfect! Took to Disney for 6 days. Was very lightweight but big enough to hold full size bottle of sunscreen, sunglasses, a tin of mints, pack of baby wipes and a small first aid kit. Separate pockets for phone and credit card were very handy and accessible without having to dig through the bag every time. Water bottle pockets on each side held bottle securely. Straps can be switched for right-side or left-side carry. Would definitely recommend!

Made extremely well, can withstand a lot. We went on vacation to LEGOLAND, San Diego Zoo, the beach, and other places and this bag withstood it all. It even went on a few rides. Love the amount of different pockets! There was room for everything I needed to have on myself. I’m glad I chose this bag over taking a purse. My iPhone 15 pro max was able to fit in the front pocket with ease, as well as my son’s android cell phone. Loved having that extra sense of security having my phone secured like that. Great material and perfect thickness. Nice vibrant color. Great value for the money. The strap can be moved to accommodate left or right side. Would highly recommend!
