VGOALCrossbody Sling Bag for Men, Versatile Travel Hiking and Working Mens Chest Bag Daypack Fashion Radiant Cycling Sling

It was better than expected. The only thing is it was to small and my son is tall. So sad.

This is a great bag for when the pockets get to full. Having a couple little ones, it allows just the right amount of storage for all the small things that are less used but necessary when you need them. The magnetic clip on the strap is great and stable. The amount of compartments allows for great organization.

Okay, first of all I have never, ever considered myself a sling bag guy. However I was finding that with my larger sunglass cases, my phone, a couple of sets of keys, and the occasional small purchase I would make, I just found it challenging to get in and out of cars, and to keep all of my EDC stuff together. So, I decided to give a sling bag a shot. I did tons of research. I really liked the idea of a leather bag. But none meet my main criteria for a "very slim" bag. I didn't want to stand out too much with some big bulky thing flopping around behind me. I was not necessarily a fan of the gray color, I would have liked to have gone with a dark blue or even black. But I didn't see an option for that. The overall slim design has really worked out well for me. The magnetic release catch at the shoulder is extremely functional. Just make sure you hold on to one end when you pull that little string because it will drop quickly. But I guess that's the point. If you look at the mechanism it was really well designed. I love their use of magnets. When the cover flops over the top there's also another magnet to catch that closure. The magnets are strong enough to where they will usually catch up and connect. But I do find myself fumbling a little bit to reconnect that small magnetic flap closure. Other than that, I've used this for several weeks now. And I think I can now call myself a sling bag guy. Wow would have thought.

I looked at slings for hours and watched a lot of YouTube reviews. This bag wasn't in any of them. I kept coming back to it because it is just the size I was looking for. I use it as a travel EDC. It has just the right amount of internal organization. A zipped mesh pocket, a couple of sleeves, two outer zipped pockets, perfect. One of the pockets is just right for a passport. But there are four features that are my favorites, some that aren't immediately evident when you look at pictures of it.1. The magnetic clasps are awesome. I can't stop latching and unlatching them. So smooth.2. There are straps under it. They could hold a tripod or umbrella, but also they can cinch just to keep everything nice and compact.3. The strap is smooth, like a seatbelt, only smoother. Easy to bring the bag around for access.4. This was the surprise. The shape of the back zipper pocket is such that this is what makes contact with your back when you are carrying it. This keeps the whole flat back of the bag from laying against your back. So you won't have a giant sweat spot on your back like with every other sling. I don't think this was an intentional part of the design, but it turned out to be a really nice feature.

The media could not be loaded.  See video for indepth and well stated review. This bag is absolutely for sure a bag and holds things. The fabric is stitched masterfully to hold all of the things in a new and stylistically significant way, reflective of traditional Kingsons value and feasibility.

I'm 6' 280# and would like this to drop another inch or more off my stomach - maybe not; I can't try because there isn't enough slack at the max. If you are taller and/or wider than me I'm sure this would feel constricting over a top layer (sweatshirt, jacket, etc.). It's also uncomfortably close to your face when going through the pockets.However, the bag is well made and functional in a minimalist way.

As I get older I wanna minimize what I have in my purse. Who doesn't like a nice sling bag with a unique shape 👌 fits just what I need and hands free!!!!!

There are several videos available on the product page detailing this crossbody bag, so I won’t repeat that. But I just want to verify that those videos are accurate and do a great job of detailing all the great features of this bag. The fabric is sturdy and feels smooth to the touch. I love the mixture of gray and white in the weave. I poured water on the fabric, and it shed right off, just as in the video.I’m aware that this bag is being marketed for men, but, as a woman, I think it is attractive and practical. It’s simply a great bag for anyone, especially for traveling, going to craft/art shows or for a long day of shopping. There are lots of pockets and it can be made wider depending on how much you want to carry. The closures are all secure and the strap is nice and wide. The bag is well stitched, and the zippers seem to be high quality, so I have some confidence that the bag will hold up well.I can wear it crossbody at my front or my back, as shown on the model on the product page, but I also have used it as a shoulder bag. All positions are comfortable and it’s simple to switch from shoulder to crossbody without having to adjust the strap. There is a quick release buckle on the main strap, which I don’t typically use – I just pull the strap over my head. Another reviewer mentioned the quick release might be a security risk. I get what she’s saying, but I’m thinking that if someone really wants to steal my bag, they’re just going to slash the strap, rather than try to figure out how to pull the little string to release the buckle. But I’m saying that as a person who had to watch the video just to figure out how to open the magnetic clasp, so you should probably use your own judgment on that😊.
