HankeCrossbody Sling Bag for Women Men, Casual Cross Body Sling Bags, Lightweight Chest Bag for Outdoor Hiking Travel

Good quality. I love it all. Plenty of pockets and spots to put all your fun stuff. I felt like it was the perfect size. Not too big. Not to small.

I received the large variant of this bag and have used it for a few weeks now on numerous outings. The only gripe I have with is that the strap on can't shrink enough to keep the bag snug against my torso all the time, but that's more an issue with my frame than the bag. For context my torso's over the shoulder to below the rib (diagonal) circumference is about 42.5" or 108cm long. That has really only an issue if the bag isn't that full because it will flop around a bit too much.This bag can easily hold all the items it claims to be able, plus a few extra oddly shaped items. At its most full I've been able to get: a thin sweatshirt (rolled up), glasses case, lens cleaner spray + cloth, a small plastic container (14cm x 13cm x 8cm), a portable battery (15.5cm x 7.5cm x 1.5cm), two charging cables, sunglasses, car keys, and my wallet. The amount of pockets on this really is amazing as you keep finding places to squirrel away items.

I like the style and functionality of this bag. It provides both open and zippered pockets. Open pockets, however, always pose a challenge when you bend over deeply, as things can slip out. They alleviate this problem with a releasable strap that covers most of the hole, which will also make it harder for a pickpocket to reach in. The strap is very adjustable: 2.5'-4.5', not including the neck at the top that it's anchored to, which is pretty big! The strap can also be switched so that the bag crosses your body to the right instead of the left, which is a nice feature. Also, the hooks for the cross-back strap swivel, helping to make it easy to keep the strap in the proper position. There is one minor problem with it, though, that's easily remedied. When you put the bag over your head, the strap may twist and become folded. Simply drag the bag with the opposite hand across your body away from where it's folded until it unfolds, then put it back in the correct position.You can protect the hidden pocket by making sure that side is close to your left arm so access is more likely to be noticed by you.I'm no pickpocket, but it seems that this bag is more pickpocket-proof than a fanny pack. Similar to a fanny pack, this one can be rotated around behind you, leaving all the zippers conveniently accessible by sneaky fingers, but I wouldn't recommend it. I had that (someone trying to surreptitiously unzip my bag) happen to me once, although I caught the guy whom I knew passingly and he claimed he was demonstrating to me how easy it was. In retrospect, I think he was a thief. There's also a concealed pocket on the side against your body that you can access from the left side but that makes it vulnerable to a thief, too, whereas a zipper at the top would make it more challenging, perhaps.However, there is a bigger problem. First of all, the hooks and D-rings are all made of plastic so if, for example, you're on a motorcycle, someone can come speeding by, grab the bag and be off with it when all the plastic pieces break. Second of all, if you're walking, a snatch-and-grab can be performed with the same tactic, or a person can stealthily disconnect the rear hook from the ring and then run off with your bag.Every bag has its strengths and weaknesses and, honestly, I'd rather have this one than a purse or a fanny pack. In fact, I retired my fanny pack for this bag. I'd love to be able to get metal hooks and D-rings for it that aren't so easy for prying fingers to disconnect. I hope that Hanke will consider upgrading their bags to take into account the weaknesses in the design.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve gotten so many compliments on this bag. It’s the most functional little thing I’ve ever owned. It has pockets for EVERYTHING. It all fits nicely so it doesn’t stick out a ton. The color makes it look like a high(er) end material ( especially from a little further away). But this material is way more functional than anything else. It’s been stain resistant and water resistant. I’m sure if I was caught out in the rain it would still get a little bit wet, but it’s been exposed to the elements and looks fantastic. The zippers work very well, and feel very sturdy. You can adjust it to wear it multiple ways.

Where has this bag been my whole entire life?! I’m obsessed. If you love crossbody bags like I do, this one hits every mark, lightweight, roomy enough for all the essentials, and comfy to wear all day. Perfect for travel, hiking, or just running errands, it’s seriously become my new everyday sidekick. Can't recommend it enough! The pockets are super smartly designed, so everything has its own perfect little spot, no more digging around like a frantic detective! The whole reason behind my dislike for purses! Plus, the strap is adjustable and comfy, so it doesn’t dig in even after hours of wear. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much I needed this bag until I got it...now I’m never leaving the house without it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is so cute! Going on a trip to South Korea and it is the perfect size to hold all my essentials close to my body. The fabric is beautiful and the quality is impeccable!

Surprisingly well built and comfortable! It's easy to switch which shoulder you'll wear it with. The only "wish" I'd have for this is for the strap to be a little wider. Then it would be mega comfortable.
