WATERFLY Small Crossbody Sling Backpack Anti Theft - Travel Ready

Our review of the WATERFLY Small Crossbody Sling Backpack finds it best suited for travelers and commuters who need a truly compact, secure bag for essentials. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of an anti-theft security system and a tiny, slim profile that still manages to hold a phone, keys, a small book and a power bank. At 13.4 x 6.3 x 2.7 in, this mini sling is deliberately minimalist but smartly organized for everyday carry and short outings.

Key Features

• Anti-theft security: Lockable zipper on the main compartment and a hidden back pocket keep valuables like a wallet and passport out of reach.
• Compact size: The extra mini dimensions make the bag unobtrusive and ideal for hands-free travel when you only need essentials.
• Multiple pockets: Several internal compartments and a front zipper pocket organize small items such as a phone, keys, tissues and a power bank.
• Easy access: A magnetic snap on the front pocket and a side earphone eyelet let you reach frequent items and listen to music without digging through the main compartment.
• Durable material: Cotton linen construction is lightweight, moisture-wicking and water-resistant for everyday use and light exposure to the elements.
• Adjustable carry: The strap adjusts from 24 in to 38.98 in, allowing right- or left-shoulder wear and conversion between chest and crossbody carry.

Who It's For

This sling is ideal for urban commuters, tourists and hikers on short walks who want a low-profile, anti-theft sling backpack that carries only essentials. It works well as a chest bag during crowded travel or as a quick grab-and-go crossbody when sightseeing.

It is not the right choice for those who need to carry bulky items, large tablets or full-size water bottles; people seeking a full-day hiking pack or large-capacity backpack should look at larger daypacks instead.
