OSOCE Crossbody Sling Bag, Water-Resistant Anti Theft Chest Pack

I hate airline travel. It's a hassle. Basically getting undressed for security check points, keeping all your important documents together, but also exposed, and putting yourself and your things back together after the check point is always frustrating and upsetting. I also hate purses. They are the biggest, dumbest, torturous, inconvenient devices ever conceived by the human race. On a typical day, I carry a wallet, and a cell phone, and nothing more. I needed a way to keep my important documents and the items I rely on during the process wrangled, and in one spot, and in a manor that would prevent me from setting the dumb thing down and walking away. This bag looked like a great answer. Especially at this price point, and with a shoulder strap that could simply be un-hooked, to aid in sliding it off your shoulder as needed. Just as I had hoped, the sturdy metal clip that held the shoulder strap made it super easy to remove the bag at security check points, even under my jacket and my backpack in the airport. Sturdy well placed zipper pockets of convenient size made one handed access to my passport and boarding pass so much easier. No need to remove all my layers or dig in bags, just unzip the pocket with my left hand, remove needed items, replace, and re-zip, one handed. The compact size and narrow profile was so convenient that I ended up also carrying it every day of my 10 day trip. These photos were taken upon my return home, and really, the bag still looks brand new. Considering that my daily routine consisted of a 30 minute walk every morning and every evening across the city minimum, and travel through four airports total for this trip, as well as hours spent in planes and waiting at baggage claims, and layovers; the quality is good. If you're curious, this bag fit in the storage pocket in the seat in front of me in every plane (we were in economy seating for these flights). In the photos, you can see some of the items I carried with me in this pack daily. I had hand wipes, a very large power bank with power cords, my samsung galaxy s9+ cell phone in it's (somewhat bulky) case, 2 ink pens, a lip balm, my wallet, and at the beginning of my trip, travel sized tissues, two types of cold medicine, a bottle of zicam, and Excedrin. Sometimes, I also had research materials with me. All of these items fit easily in the bag, and maintained it's slim profile (I wore it under my coat daily). My samsung galaxy s9+ easily fit into the top pocket with the magnetic tab closed. I also kept my lip balm and my two ink pens in this pocket. My ravpower 26800mAh PD Portable Charger power bank (inside included sleeve) fit nicely in the interior pouch of the largest pocket along with my passport (which I removed when carrying this bag on the street) and the included power cords with room to spare. In the middle pocket, I kept the hand wipes, medicines, and a second USB cable. The last (small outer pocket) contained my wallet. The zippers on the bag open from top to bottom, ensuring things don't fall out as you are opening the zippers. I am 5'4" and female, also quite chest-y. So my concern with getting a cross body bag was that it would be too tall against my torso and rib cage when sitting or walking, or that the strap would be uncomfortably placed across my chest. If any taller, this bag would have been uncomfortable on my left side, but at this size, it worked pretty well. The strap is sturdy, with re-enforcement stitching down it, and angled so that it rests without cutting into me. The slim profile of the bag makes it easy to conceal, and keep close to your body while still being very convenient to access for you as the wearer in pick-pocket prone areas. I did not have a problem with the strap coming undone, nor did I have any issues with the quality. This is a great bag, and I will definitely be taking it on my next trip, and probably every trip after from here on out. Oh, also I ordered it in black, and the black is a rich, dark black. It did not rain while I was on my trip, so I do not know how well it holds up in rain, but the fabric seems sturdy, and the lining is well stitched. The included note from the manufacturer was a nice touch too. It basically said that if you have problems with the bag, throw it in the trash, and let them make it right. I don't see need for that in my case. I foresee using this bag over and over again for a very long time. For this price point (about $15 at the time I purchased it), this bag seems pretty unbeatable. I would buy it again and again. It carries SO much more than I expected it to, and does a great job of it. I am that person who will set a purse down, forget I was carrying one, and walk away. Having a bag that made it easy to have things that are important for international travel all together without being in the way and annoying (or convenient to just set down) was really important for me. I am back to carrying just my wallet, but found it far less irritating to carry this bag with me than I thought it was going to be. I also found it really easy to not accidentally leave this bag somewhere...it's small enough and slim enough that I didn't even need to take it off for most places, even if we sat to eat. So, if you're like me, and can't be bothered to be responsible for a giant stupid purse, and must have something to keep your international documents and important international travel items easily accessible, this bag is really great.

Great sized bag for everyday use! Fits both my phones, wallet, keys and glasses case with space to add more if needed! Great quality and fit

This sling shoulder backpack met all my needs while traveling in the EU. Light, stayed pretty flat depending on what you put in it. Easy access to pockets, plenty of pockets. During day trips, I put a flat charger abut the size of my iphone 13 in it, 2 chargers on certain days. a protein bar, contact lens case, pen and a 16 oz water bottle in it. The water bottle made it bulky, but too heavy. Only lighter days, no water bottle, no charger. Easy to keep in front, or swing back to carry on backside. I did notice that when I had the water bottle or heavier items, the cinch did loose up and I had to pull it tight again. I felt this was not as bulky as a fanny pack that is most people wear over the shoulder. The top part of the backpack sling is niced in that it holds a normal iphone 13 easily and has s snap to keep it secure. It could probably hold an iphone max; but check the specs. Happy to recommend as an alternative to a fanny pack/fanny sling bag.

Purchased this bag for use during a quick trip where I was hoping to free up my hands while traveling through the airport. Surprisingly it held quite a bit without being bulky! I’m 5’1” so most items seem big and bulky on me but this did not. It held my iPhone 14 Pro Max with a case perfectly in the top pocket that had a nice strap to fasten it. It had plenty of room to hold a Coach wristlet in the bottom compartment. The middle held a large lip balm, keys and medication bottle with plenty of room remaining for other items if needed. There is a strap with reflective stitching that I hung my glasses from. The side zip pocket could easily fit a passport or other larger flat items, I also keep a second set of keys for work in this pocket. The fabric seems ok for the price range. This isn’t high end but it’s not bad either. Seems to be sturdy enough for light to medium use. I’ve been using it for the past 3 weeks in place of my purse because of the ease and convenience. Overall I am pleased with this purchase and would most definitely consider another one!

Excellent concept and design. I purchased this for an extended trip flying to Europe and sailing back to the USA vis NYC. At check-in and TDA screening, super easy with travel docs readily available and then phone, coins, keys, etc., all into the x-ray machine at once, securely. I kept it on during my Transatlantic flight. Everything I needed strung across my chest. Sleeping mask, toothbrush, snacks, Kindle reader, ear buds, etc. I wore it every day in Europe under a jacket for a hands-free, pickpocket-proof experience. On the cruise ship home, it was perfect for sun glasses, Kindle, room key, tipping money, gum/snacks, phone, etc. Upon arrival in rainy nyc it kept everything dry and freed both hands for luggage. You forget it's there. Very comfortable. 5 pockets were plenty and I found myself categorizing them, e.g., toiletries, electronics, important papers/cards. The smallest pocket will hold a passport but it's tight. An extra 1/4 inch would make it ideal. My Samsung S21 sits in a leather case. It was a tight fit in the phone holder space. At first. As the trip progressed the fit improved substantially. It can easily accommodate a small gun/firearm quite discreetly The strap is wide and comfortable. Highly recommended. If the manufacturer ever makes one in leather, better still!

I normally carry a cloth bag that is called by its manufacturer a “small messenger bag” that I wear crossbody. I wanted something a bit less conspicuous and stumbled on this in a travel blog. The blogger carries his on train trips when he’s away from his cabin. I got it home and started unzipping pockets and filling compartments. It fits everything from my other bag and lies flat against my side so I’ll be able to put this on and a jacket over it with none the wiser. One con (to me, others might consider it a pro) is that the multitude of pockets can make it hard to find what what I’m looking for. I only tested it in the house and managed to lose my small notebook & pen in its depths. You might find lots of zippers great for organizing but so far it’s just confusing to me. But a great idea, a unisex bag you can somewhat conceal under a jacket and remain hands-free. I fit my Kindle Paperwhite in its case, my iPhone SE, my earbuds, the notebook, my epi-pen, my inhaler, sunglasses, lip balm, front pocket wallet, eye drops, a fan, gum and a small container of Vaseline. I’m going to make it my everyday purse for a few days and see if I get better at finding things in it.

I have bought three other bags in hopes that one of them would meet my needs. They were all terrible. By George, I think this one is going to work. It is very nice looking and will accommodate all of my things. I am so happy to have found it.

This bag is extremely low profile and conforms well to the body. It has several zippered compartments that would be good for storing a variety of flat items (passport, wallet, phone, etc). The only thing I didn't like about it is how the fabric doesn't breathe, which makes it feel hot.

Awesome Buy ! Built tough for how much I paid. Does the job and then some

Essential when walking around in tourist traps, travelling on planes and trains, and staying in hostels.

Good, Solid zippers, very spacious.

Top top top

It was fairly small, but a lot of space. It could easily hold my keychain, wallet, phones and more stuff. The only downsides: ot slides on the shoulder and a standard iphone xr doesn’t fit too well in the phone pocket. But not a bad choice.
