Peak Gear Sling Crossbody Backpack - Urban Messenger Day Bag

Lots of utility to this little thing, I keep first aid, wallet, phone, keys and water in here for my bike rides and climbing and there still space for more things, the bag does not interfere with my movements when on my front either and it is quick and easy to switch to wearing it on my back on the fly if needs be, I sometimes forget I have it on too. Very useful, would definitely recommend.

Bit smaller than expected but fits my main needs

Perfect for me. Lots of separate pockets and very lightweight!

Ideal for the everyday items you have to carry plus room for a drink bottle.

Bag is very handy, love the style, loved the practicality of it, use it to take with me when I’m skating in my town centre so I don’t have much to carry

Smaller than I thought

Great quality and perfect size. Wanted something to sling over shoulder for day trips. Returnme tag is a good addition.

Pros Excellent quality Adjustable straps Lots of pockets Cons Can't fit a laptop or tablet

Very sleek look, small but enough space to hold all my essentials (keys, wallet, water bottle, sunscreen & wipes, phone). Great value!

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.

Slim and lightweight. My favorite travel bag.

Great size. Some may say it’s small but it’s perfect for wallet, keys, kids snack, a few other little things. Feels sturdy. Zero complaints

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.
