WATERFLY Crossbody Sling Bag Small Water Resistant Backpack Lightweight Shoulder Chest Daypack for Men Women Hiking Travel

Our family has several of these bags in different colors including the earlier version. We use them exclusively for taking essentials into Disney parks. They are a great size and hold up very well. Can be carried all day. It can be worn front or back and the movable strap lets you easily change from the left to the right side. Extremely versatile and functional.

I've had this bag for 9 years or so and has been my go to day pack/shoulder bag for travels around the world - still holding up, zippers still work fine, no tears or anything. Has many slots to hold various items, passports, etc. Durable, have not regretted this purchase at all.

This was my first experience with a bag of this sort. I purchased it specifically for a day trip by train this week, but also planning to use it on our frequent vacations to Las Vegas.The bag is lightweight and looks nice. The zippers function well but opening at an angle was a bit awkward until I got used to it. I LOVE the phone pocket, which was positioned close to my (left) ear so I could hear it even when we were in a noisy area (subway, tour, etc). . The bag accommodates the items I always carry including IDs, credit cards, cash, sunglasses, kindle, hand wipes, mints, travel documents, etc. However, I did not have room for my light jacket, so my husband put it in his bag when I didn't need it.I always have a water bottle with me and used the mesh side pocket for it - this holder barely fits a 16oz bottle...I'd prefer a little bigger and a little longer/taller so I could use my 24 oz Bubba mug.I bought mine in Army Green - wasn't sure about the color as I was afraid it would look too "olive" but I really like it. I didn't want the bold colors or the dark, boring black, so this was the perfect compromise for me.The strap was comfortable and I wore it all day as a cross body. For being as lightweight as it is, the bag feels sturdy.For travel where I would not need any kind of jacket, I'd buy this one again. In cooler weather, I'd look for one a little larger. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and think it was a very good value.

I picked this up after a few hours researching EDC sling bags. I couldn't understand why this was such a highly rated bag but yet so cheap. I'm looking at all the known high end brands that sell for at least 4x and just scratching my head. Coincidentally, while debating on my purchase the Waterfly has a lightning deal. Well at that price, why not. If I don't like it Amazon will take it back or I can just gift it to someone. It didn't take long for me to see why it's so popular.It's light, even when fully loaded, but never feels strained or like it might break (YMMV). It's small, incredibly small, so you'll have to play with it for a bit and decide what exactly is essential and what you probably don't need. That's great though, as you start to add things you'll naturally organize them in the many pockets to make it a nice, compact fit. Do I really need a notebook or my tablet? Not today, but I can carry one if I need to. Can I pack my daily essentials and a light lunch? Yup, plenty of room to spare. Next thing you know everything has a place and you can pick up your Waterfly and run out the door without a hesitation or second thought. My daily carry basically consists of: server apron with server book, pens, and wine key. S&W .380 acp with laser in a Sticky holster and two mags. A good size bag of trail mix and another bag of candy (love my Skittles and Sour Patch Kids) one pound each, no problem. A personal vaporizer and everything I need for that in an airtight tube. A good backup knife in case I lose or I am disarmed of the one on my hip. Travel eating utensils in an adequate sized all purpose drawstring sack. If I plan on picking up more stuff when I'm out I throw in my Eddie Bauer packable Stowaway 20L bag. That's just the main compartment and I still have room to spare on there. Heck, I'll add a couple clementines and an apple.My OnePlus 6T fits perfectly in the mobile phone pocket but can be a little difficult to get to while walking or if the bag is not fitted snug enough. Easy fix.Secondary compartment and it's pockets? 3 packs of vacuum sealed tuna, AA big book, religious texts, address book, passport, coupons. Slim brand wallet (HIGHLY recommended), first aid kit, kleenex. EDC pen and highlighter, emergency cash, spare key, ear plugs, floss picks, wisps, chap stick, nicotine gum, dip and or snus, a Mophie power bank, cheap USB stick, Nat Sherman's and a bic. If I still have some specific for today random odds and ends I can fit those if they're not too big. All I need now is to stash my 1L water bottle...hmmm. Wait a second...This is the only place I can honestly say the Waterfly fails and fails hard. The side pocket for "water bottle" can fit just that - and barely. No room for anything more than a cheap plastic 16.9 bottled water. No ice cold water, no reducing your impact on the environment by reusing, just a sad little bought in bulk water, the kind you get for free in the waiting room or at a church picnic. It's a shame, but in the long run it's a sacrifice worth making, especially given that this little pack has already given you so much back in storage and organization. I do car keys with a weather proof, shock proof Samsung USB stick (again, highly recommend) and a lens cloth on the side, you could maybe do something like a phone charger if for some crazy reason you don't want to put it inside the pack. With just a little bit of space in a mesh outside pocket that isn't secure other than a strip of elastic probably best to play it safe and keep it light and loose, no valuables. If I'm sitting and don't want my keys in my back pocket or on my hip, they go in there. Otherwise, maybe like a small can of cold brew or just nothing.I was a big skeptic at first but now this bag is my companion almost everywhere I go. Obviously not for more strenuous outdoor activities like climbing, but perfect for city commuting. I haven't tested it in a thunderstorm or anything, but light rain in short distances like the parking lot to the office have never been an issue. The material isn't going to stop bullets, but if you're careful and don't try to overpack it or carry bulky odd shipped items. Watch out for sharp corners.At the end of the day, I can't recommend this product enough. Great for the kids to tote their stuff, could be a purse for the edgy teenager or hipster, more uses for any activities than I'll be ever to think of from walking the dogs to riding your bike to planning a long day away from home like sightseeing or a trip to the theme park. Whatever flips your switch, this little bag adds a lot of convenience to enjoying whatever you want to do.Final comment? See title.

I looked for WEEKS trying to find the perfect sling bag for my trip to Disney World. I ended up going with this one based on the fact that it would hold my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone (in thick case) in the front zippered pocket. Many reviews of other bags (that have a similar front pocket) said they would hold a "small phone" and most all were based on the infamous "iPhone" which not everyone has!! Go Samsung!! Come to find out, it exceeded my expectations when I found out it would hold my phone attached to a 3"x5" power bank and still zip up halfway to keep them securely in the pocket!! This bag is adjustable for right or left shoulder and holds a TON, including two 8" Samsung tablets NO PROBLEM! At any given time during our week long trip I had the following items in this bag: 2 tablets, phone in front pocket, chapstick, travel size hair spray, comb, travel pkg of Kleenex, sunglasses, bib, Aunt Flo items, wallet (4"x4"x1/2" in size), small bags of snacks/fruit snacks, power bank and cord (3"x5" in size), 16.9oz size water bottle in side pocket. The bag is VERY comfortable to wear with the light padding in the nice, adjustable strap. It has a quick release clip so you can whip it off fast when you need to. As far as water resistance, it got sprayed on a few water rides and everything inside stayed nice and dry. It's a sturdy nylon material and zippers are smooth and zip easily. I HIGHLY recommend this bag and am buying a 2nd one for my husband.
