ZZSY Sling Backpack, Shoulder Chest Crossbody Bag Small Daypack for Outdoor Hiking Men & Women

I am not one who likes to carry purses when I'm out hiking or visiting theme parks, zoos, etc. And I definitely don't want a purse when I'm traveling internationally. Most purses are not very secure and are easy for those inclined to get into. A sling bag is perfect for all of these situations, as they can be worn on the back OR the front of your body. When out in the open, it rests easily on your back. When in a crowded train or bus station, a few simple arm motions and it now is on the front of your body where it needs to never leave your view.I ordered four different sling bags in this size (small). It was interesting to compare them...how well they were made, how many pockets they have (and the positioning of those pockets) and how they open. This one was by far my favorite. All the other ones went back. Why was this my favorite you ask? See below.This bag is light in weight, so it can be packed in a suitcase without issue and then pulled out as a day pack when needed. The fabric is flexible and nice to the touch. The strap attaches to either side of the bag in the back so that it can be worn on either shoulder...which might be nice on a long European trip where you wear the bag every day. This way, you can switch shoulders to alleviate discomfort if that should happen.As for size, this bag is small, but it seems to hold quite a lot. I put a rain jacket (in a stuff sack) in the bottom, my pocket camera in on top of that. I had my phone, a very small wallet and a few other things in there too. So far I've only used it hiking, and It worked very well. The zippers seem pretty sturdy and work well. And the pocket placements are very well thought out. There is even a zipped pocket on the back of the bag, which sits next to your body...a nice security feature.With this being said, this bag does not have any way to lock the zippers, nor does it have a security strap. The strap is just nylon so it could be slashed (a potential problem for certain areas in Europe). If you want security features like this, try the Travelon sling bag (I have that one also). It is LOADED with anti-theft features. I plan to use this bag mostly for local hiking and domestic travel where security is not as essential.The color is pretty much as pictured on the website.Over all, this is a great bag and a great value.

 Here is a small sling bag that is very useful for light weight every day use. Especially in the hotter months here in New England, I do not have as many pockets on my clothing, so I need a small bag to carry the essentials. When it come to small sling bag, there are two features that are essential to me.First, the bag has to be ambidextrous — the single strap can be switched from one side to the other so that you can carry it on either left or right shoulder to match your carry habit. With this bag, you can switch the sides at the bottom of the pack easily.Second, for a small bag, it is important for the bag to have good organization. This sling bag has four separate compartments, which fit my needs well. I put my phone in the small front pocket so that it will not get scratched rubbing against other things in the bag. I put my keys in the second pocket. In the main pocket I put all the items that I need during the day, like sunglasses, tissue pack, mint etc. Finally I put my small wallet on the back’s secret pocket.Note that this bag is small. If you need to carry your iPad, skip this bag. A iPad mini just fit, kindle will fit nicely. But for me this is the exact size I want. When I need to carry more items, I switched to my CHIO bag.This is a very versatile little bag with good materials and at a extremely affordable price point. You can’t go wrong.

I tried this little bag today at the zoo and it worked great. it served the purpose for which i bought it. there are two issues that are a bit annoying: 1) the strap is adjustable, but is still feels too long on me after making it as short as it will go, but to be fair, I'm only 4'11 and I have a short torso so that could be why. 2) the water bottle holder is not big enough to hold a real water bottle. I fitted a 20 oz dasani water bottle in it after struggling with it for a few minutes. I'll try other smaller size water bottles and see if they'd fit better. Over all, its a nice inexpensive bag for day trips and such.

We were looking for a sling bag for my daughter to use on a field trip. This sling bag was perfect. It is a little smaller then what I thought but, it still allowed many things to fit inside. It’s great for basics, not to use as a full book bag or sling purse. Great size for my 10 year old and would be a good size for myself if I needed it only for the basic items. So basically great for a trip to an amusement park, a day trip, or a day out on the town. The quality of the material is durable and looks to be very well made, packaged perfect and arrived on time. I would purchase other colors just cause they are very convenient to use.

Yeah, it's working for me. Nice size. Good construction. Zippers EZ to work. Rear compartment holds my "concealed carry item" nicely and discreetly. 8" tablet and average book fit fine in front main compartment. Small front media compartment just holds my 5.7" phone. But... on mine, the strap buckle was incorrectly installed so it's on the inside of the strap when I carry it. Looks odd and I can feel the buckle against my back. And the thicker web part of the strap needs to be longer. Most of it is to the front as I carry the bag. If I sling the bag over one shoulder, only the thinner strap is riding on my shoulder. Odd name too. ZZSY? Bag OK; could be better with just some tweaks and attention to construction.

One flaw only: the connectors at the bottom of the bag protrude at 90-degrees which causes the bag to hang away from the body when worn on the belly or chest. The D-rings and option to connect to the right or left are fabulous, but the D-ring connects to the bag via straps that protrude at a right-angle. I ordered 2 other bags with nearly identical dimensions to try and put the same heavy book into each for a trial. In bags where the strap angles upwards at apx. 45-degrees from the bottom, the bag lies close to my waist/belly. Otherwise, this bag is fabulous. Many great details and great workmanship. They merely need to angle the D-ring straps, and this bag will be design-perfect.
