NICGID Sling Backpacks, Sling Chest Bag Shoulder Crossbody Bags for Men Women Outdoor Travel

I love this bag, it is very well made out of good sturdy nylon. The strap is long enough for a man or smaller person. It has plenty of pockets for storge and I like the zipper pocket in the back for my wallet or passport. I can highly recommend this bag

Build quality seems good. Not too small, and not too big. I was looking for a small daypack for my EDC equipment, in addition to a bag that would easily fit my Nintendo Switch 2 (including my Mumba Blade Series Grip Case) - It fits perfectly with ease and still plenty of spare room for other items. My only issue (and it's not a game-breaker) is the clip at the base of the bag for attaching the shoulder strap. It is a little uncomfortable/bulky and I feel like they could've improved on this. Otherwise, this bag is great, considering the price. I would recommend this bag.

I Purchased this backpack for a vacation to the Caribbean. Since this backpack offers the sling feature, it is perfect to walk around with while keeping everything secure. As pictured, the slang goes around your left shoulder. For me personally, I would prefer the other way around. There is no option or ability to switch it to the other shoulder since it curves a specific way. I mention security since tourists are known to get robbed or mugged while on vacations. What this bag does that a traditional backpack does not, is give you the ability to sling it across your body. This will make it much more difficult for somebody to pull the bag off of you and run. A traditional backpack can easily be pulled off of your body. The sling feature is great because you can either have it on your back, or wear it acrossed your chest where you can keep a better eye on it. It also gives you the ability to carabiner a water bottle on it, or any other item that you would find useful. There are plenty of pockets, allowing for plenty of room for your must-have’s on a day trip. My list of items that will fit and plan on having for my day trip: -Small GoPro case -iPod with earbuds -Journal or small book -Water bottle -tripod or selfie stick -Sunscreen -Sunglass case -Bandaids -snack -Passport -wallet -USB charging station -USB mini speaker Everything that I need will fit comfortably in this bag. It definitely beats bringing a heavy, oversized backpack that does not offer the same security that this does. On that note, if you’re wondering why I didn’t list my phone in this bag, it’s because it won’t fit. The opera pouch on this backpack is meant for carrying a phone. If you have an iPhone plus or a Samsung galaxy, forget about it. It is possible to fit an iPhone plus if your iPhone doesn’t have a case on it. That is why am substituting an iPod to fit in that pouch. You could very well have room to put it in another pouch. The only real bummer for me personally is that I won’t be able to bring my binoculars in this bag. They’re just too big. Small compact size wouldn’t be an issue for this at all.

UPDATE: I have now used this sling pack for 7 years and it still looks as good as new and has never had an issues with sewing, D Rings, zippers or more. The bag has travels ½ Million miles and gone through 40 nations and it still works as perfectly as it did the first time I used it. I highly recommend it. NICGID now makes a larger sling pack for 13", 14" and 15" laptop carrying but if you are looking for a great EDC sling pack, this is the perfect choice. I needed a protected crossbody sling pack for overseas travel and looked at many kinds that kept my hands free. This same brand makes one that is thinner (less than 1" thick) and that is just not useable at all if you want to carry anything. This one has great pockets, good zippers, a hidden pocket on the mesh side of the back and then a long zipper opening with pockets within pockets. It is a bit heavier (but durable) than the others, but it still weighs very little and holds an iPhone, a book, paperwork, wallet, glasses and more. It even has an expandable pouch for an umbrella or more. I love the design and the extra holes and d-rings for lashing the bag. For the basic uses, it is a great sling pack that can attach right or left. Love the full design and easy access to different pockets. LOVE IT!

Looks and functions just like the images, pretty stoked with the look and feel. So many pockets it fits everything I need on the go. I only see one issue which is the headphone hole; the exterior has the nice rubber hole cover to frame it but inside it's literally just a cross-shape cut in the material. No hemming around it or anything to stop the cut from unraveling and causing a larger hole. Personally I'm just going to seal it up and not use it, most newer phones don't have headphone jacks anyway (mine included). Still a 5 out of 5 for me, overall looks great and I don't see any issues in the stitching.

The main zipper is constantly catching and not opening automatically.

Love this bag

My favorite bag. I use it everyday In response to one of the latest reviews I consider this a well-made bag good quality I do not agree with the other review I am very happy with this bag and it’s the perfect size. I have been happily using this bag for over a year and still going strong. If anything does break this company is good with sending a replacement ad they did with another bag they make. I like it has many pockets. I can fit at least three 16 oz water bottles inside and one on the side pocket. I like the looks and it has a lot of pockets. I wish the strap was easier to adjust It took me a while how to figure out how to make it so it doesn't hang low. I adjusted the strap now and it's in the right place. It's possible to adjust it if you try to figure it out. Also the strap is ok as far as padding but it could be better, but it's pretty good. I recommend this bag. It’s the perfect side not too big and not too small. Actually I can fit two 18oz bottles in there. There is a size water pocket too. It’s a good looking bad and someone at the market asked me where I bought it.
