CodouleWaterproof Sling Bag Crossbody Backpack for Men Women Sling Backpack Hiking Daypack Multipurpose Cross Body Chest Bag

This sling bag has a very smooth, rubber feel to it, and it does smell of plastic as soon as you take it out of the packaging, which is a simple translucent bag. The smell is very similar to children’s swimming armbands and is quite strong. It doesn’t take too long for the smell to go away, or at least be hardly noticeable so that’s a good thing.The shoulder bag is quite small so is ideal for carrying smaller items, especially items that you don’t want to get wet. It is made from faux leather and feels extremely strong with good stitching. The shoulder strap is adjustable and has a strong, adjustable belt with buckle.There are plenty of compartments on this bag as the main compartment is held closed with a zip and inside there is a little pocket at the back. On the front of the bag is a slightly horizontal zip with a small compartment. The front pouch is also held closed with a zip and has a silver emblem on the front which looks a little out of place as there is no name on it, just a blank emblem so maybe you could engrave the owners name on it yourself.There is a USB extension in the bag which allows you to install it into the USB hole in the side and have a power bank inside (not included) so you can charge your devices which use a USB-A connection. Very handy to have and it keeps your power bank dry if you decide to use one. There is also a hole in the side which allows you to feed your headphones through and keep your phone/mp3 player in your bag, nice and dry, and listen to your music.A very handy sling bag if you don’t need to carry a lot of things with the added bonus of being splash proof…

This bag is on the small side but it's still big enough to store your essentials when out walking.This bag can be worn across your body, which makes it easy to access its contents but can also deter opportunist bag snatchers as it can't be taken from you easily.I managed to store my phone, a small drink, money, keys, a shopping bag, and there's still a little more room left over. It also has an opening for your wired earphones to come through, which is another good security feature by keeping your devices safely hidden away.The cross body strap is adjustable, so you can get the best fit for you. The zips are good quality and move freely. The main section also has pockets inside to help keep things organised.It has a wipe clean surface that dries evenly. It says it's waterproof, but I haven't put this to the test.This bag is the ideal size to use while out and about, be it dog walking, walking to the shops, or exercising, it keeps your belongings safe and easily accessible.It's definitely worthy of 5☆'s.

When I first got this out of its packaging, I thought it looked quite small - BUT when I actually tried it on, it fitted well across my chest.However the main adjustable shoulder strap needs more adjustment - I'm under 6ft but broad shouldered 52" chest and slim (ish) waist, and I found that the main shoulder strap at full adjustment is just about OK if I am wearing a tee-shirt, but I wouldn't be able to use this if I am wearing a jacket.The actual quality of the sling bag is fantastic - the material is quite weird, a sort of soft rubbery material that is pleasant to touch and definitely feels water repellent.The zips are extremely well sewn but these zips are not waterproof zips - so can't really call the sling bag truly waterproof !The inside of the pockets are also well made and sewn well.A neat little addition, is that included is a USB-A extension cable - so you simply feed this into the plastic socket on the side of the bag, and now you can plug that into a power pack that sits inside the bag, and then just plug you phone into the side socket to get power... nice design/thought 👍Overall, at £20.99 (at the time of review - July 2022), I would say that is pretty good value for this well made sling bag... even though the shoulder strap needs to be longer to fit larger chest sizes, I would still recommend this for 'normal' size people - hence rating 4* imho.

​Super little bag for throwing a phone, wallet, and canned drink into when setting off a walk.I weigh 16 stone and I think the strap was at its outer limit when I put the bag over my shoulder. It was still wearable bu I think I manage to gain another half stone, I'll struggle with it (I'm trying to lose the half stone rather than gain it, but the best laid plans of mice and men aft gang aglay, as the saying does!The fabric is very voluptuous feeling, being a totally waterproof pseudo leather. if you're into that kind of thing, you could conceivably get very excited y it... All in all, the construction is excellent and the design works brilliantly. the advert says that it can take an iPad, which I should imagine is true if you use the iPad mini. As it is, I use an iPad Air 3, and the bag can accommodate the width of the ipad bu it's about three inches short of being able to close the zipper on it. the clasp on the strap can close over the iPad but it looks like an open invitation to thieves.As it is, I was able to get my iPhone, can of cola, sandwich,chocolate bar, and wallet in without a problem, so if you're looking for something to pack for an afternoon's meander around a town this is ideal.
