Small Sling Backpack

Love this little backpack! Bought a similar model from the same company and really liked it. But this one has a little more room and the print is so pretty, I've been using it as a purse as much as a backpack. Love the cellphone pocket in the front. Makes it easy to access my phone. No, it's not a huge, full-size backpack, but the pockets are thoughtfully designed so that you can fit quite a bit inside. Large back pocket can fit a 10" tablet and has a sizeable elastic pouch. The front pocket has multiple slots and a zippered mesh pocket that's perfect for cash and cards. There is also a "secret" pocket on the back that was handy for holding documents while traveling. Fabric is thick and sturdy but not uncomfortable to carry around. I primarily use it for short day hikes so that I don't have to leave a purse in the car and it's perfect for that. Only quibble is that the bottle holder on the side barely holds a standard water bottle.

I got this as an adjunct for my travels through Asia. I bought a larger backpack for the plane rides and when I needed a larger one, but this was perfect for day trips, going out to eat, and just sightseeing. My I pad and its case fit fine in the back pocket. I liked that I could wear it on my front or the back. I could even fit small souvenirs purchased while I was out and about. I used the front pocket meant for a phone for my earphones and other things that would get lost in the bottom of the bag, but my galaxy 23 fit fine in it. I especially liked the hidden pocket in the back. Great for my wallet.

I bought this for a 2-week trip to Europe and was extremely happy with the size and style of the bag. I will definitely use this for traveling and it was big enough to hold everything I needed but not so big that it got heavy. Enthusiastically recommend!

I injured my shoulder, so I cannot wear a regular backpack right now. Regular shoulder bags hung too low and created too much strain on my good shoulder, so the sling bag has been quite perfect for my situation.What I really love about this particular bag is(1) it is waterproof/resistant, important for the rainy part of Spring season(2) the design of its pockets allows for easy access without running the risk of things falling out of the side closest to the ground(3) the covert pocket on the side that goes against your back makes me feel more safe knowing that the most important stuff is inaccessible to anyone with ill intentions(4) the shoulder strap has a buckle, which allows for an easier time getting the bag on & off, which is super important with the injured shoulder.A few dislikes:(1) only one mesh pocket on the side; I always make sure that my backpacks have two, so that I have easy access to a water bottle & an umbrella(2) something about the design makes it sit a bit awkwardly on my back, no matter how I adjust the length of the strap or its position(3) the zippers are only one direction, which makes use a little awkward(4) the big one: this bag is primarily designed for use on just the right shoulder. Even though that is fine right now, because it is my left one that is injured and cannot bear weight, it's quite a bummer, because if you put it across the left, the bag becomes very awkward to use.But, the positive features currently outweigh the negative ones, so I'm keeping it :)UPDATE:The shape of the bag did end up being a deal-breaker for me. For some reason it just did not sit well against my back, no matter how I adjusted the strap. It’s a bit of a bummer because I liked a lot of things about it, but it just didn’t work well for me.

I have been using an Eddie Bauer bag that is nearly identical to this one. Why I appreciate about the Eddie Bauer one is the thinness of the bag material. It can be easily stuffed I. A suitcase. I decided to search for an alternative to the Eddie Bauer bag mostly because I needed something more durable for everyday use. I am super pleased with the G4Free bag. The fabric is thicker than the Eddie Bauer, and the RFID pocket is an added bonus that is not in the Eddie Bauer bag. I have found some water bottles that fit in the water bottle mesh pouch (see photos). The water bottles in the photos are sold on Amazon, except the standard disposable bottle in the one photo. I really enjoy my Eddie Bauer bag, which is why I wanted to find one just like it, but with a more durable fabric. Also, the zippers are really nice quality. I have had this sling for a few weeks now, and it been a great product.

Life is too dang hectic to be fooling with purses. I have to run after my grandson, so this little crossbody is a must. I can fit plenty of items here, and best thing of all it is waterproof. I also took it on vacation. Stuffed extra shirt in there, water, glasses, snacks, it was full but I was still on the go. No hassle at all. Color is pretty and vibrant, just like the picture. I get compliments on it too.

Update: while I was very happy with the bag, the strap began ripping at the bottom seam. Therefore I changed my stars to 3.I tried many bags before I decided on this one. I used it for a trip to Disneyworld. I wanted one that was lightweight, had a padded strap, a small handle, and a secure hidden zipper in back. It held two glasses cases, a fan, poncho, a protein bar, a 16 oz waterbottle in the side pocket and other miscellaneous things. The back zipper was easily accessible for credit card. I did not use the pocket on the handle and would have preferred it not be there. It was comfortable to carry by the handle or across my body when on a ride or crowded area. I am happy with the bag and I would purchase it again.

I love this for traveling. Sturdy comfortable bag. Highly recommended
