The essential accsesory I never knew I needed
The Alityfy sling bag quickly became an indispensable part of my daily gear. The design fits snugly and comfortably across my shoulder, making it ideal for those who prefer a hands-free experience. It’s spacious enough for carrying a couple of medium-sized books and my Kindle, yet it remains compact and unobtrusive.
This bag shines in its practicality for light travel. It’s perfect for those outings where a bulky bag is too much, but you still need to carry essentials like a phone and a few other items. The sling bag allows you to keep everything organized without resorting to stuffing your pockets.
Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The bag comes with substantial padding that provides a soft barrier between the bag and your body, which enhances comfort during prolonged use. This is a thoughtful addition that really enhances the overall user experience.Security features are well-integrated, with a clasped front that offers peace of mind in crowded spaces, such as bustling city streets. This extra layer of security ensures that accessing the main pocket isn’t too easy for anyone other than the wearer.
Overall, the Alityfy sling bag is a stellar choice. Its stylish look coupled with its functional design makes it a must-have accessory. Whether you’re new to sling bags or looking to replace an old one, this bag deserves serious consideration. I’m thoroughly impressed and highly recommend it.
Easy wear and well made
A great bag for going out or exercising, there are a bunch of pockets and space in the bag and the straps adjust pretty well making it sturdy. The material also seems good and like it would last a while. Easy to adjust for a comfortable fit and I also like that the phone pouch has a hole to run your headphones through, as I still prefer wired headphones.
Budget small sling bag with some nice features.
I appreciated that it has a removable, clip on security fob for keys inside and also the pass through for wired headphones on the outside phone/mp3 player pouch. The back area also has nice padding for comfort and all in it feels nicely designed. The materials are quite budget feeling, particularly the strap, but nothing feels like it is too weak to do the job.
I do feel it is perhaps sized more for women or smaller people. I had to put the strap onto its longest adjustment and I can kind of wear it, but it doesn’t sit as low as it should or does in the photos.
Its a nice bag, definitely on the budget side of things but its priced as such and if you only have light things to carry it will do the job.
Cheap and Cheerful
This bag is absolutely perfect, it is a great price at 14.99 at the time of writing this review, the material looks nice and strong, and looks like it is showerproof, the over shoulder strap is fully adjustable and can be worn on either the left or or the right using a handy little clip on the base of the bag, on the strap you can hold your phone, which it makes it easier to use wired headphones, overall I am really impressed with this little bag, and it looks like it will last too.
Decent compact shoulder bag, but the phone pouch is on the small side
I had erroneously assumed that the front pouch would be larger, a kind of general security pouch like a money belt bag, but it’s really just for a mobile phone so that you can have your headphones attached to it in front of you. It’s a fairly narrow pouch, if you have a phone wider than 7.5cm you might struggle to get it in – I can get my Samsung S20 FE snugly in there but I do have to remove the case I have it in to do so, which is something of an annoyance. I had ideas of using this travelling abroad and being able to put passport & money & phone in the front pouch, but sadly that isn’t going to be an option. It is possible of course as per the photos to wear the other way round so the main bag is in front of you, which is not really what I was envisioning. So I personally see this being employed more as a small backpack to take if out leisure walking for example, than a genuine travelling bag.
handy bag
Perfect for my husband – he likes that it is black and without bling or huge writing across it. It s a perfect size for the things he wants to carry, i.e. small but accommodating. He likes that there are several pockets to items are easy to locate. He also likes that you can switch how you have the bag e.g. across the body to the back or front and that you can switch the clip on the strap to different sides at the bottom. The phone case is a good idea but is too small for my husband’s phone, however its handy for other items that you might want to have to hand quickly e.g. change etc. The bag feels robust, zippers all of good quality and water resistant.
Not perfect but good for short outings.
Review of Alitifiy Sling Bag, Waterproof Small Cross Body Bag.
At first glance this sling over shoulder bag looks really nice, good solid Oxford type material which should be waterproof if not then certainly shower-proof, a decent size bag with mesh anti sweat webbing on the rear, good wide shoulder strap which has plenty of adjustment from 29″ to 43″ and water bottle pockets on the side, a separate phone pouch with a wired headphone access adorns the wide shoulder strap that can be worn on the left or right.
The shoulder strap is heavy duty material about 65mm wide but only for half it’s length, the other 22″ used for adjustment and made up of a 22mm wide webbing strap with a plastic clip one end and a plastic strap adjuster the other, whilst adequate the adjuster and clip could be more substantial.
The half zipped phone pocket on the 65mm strap is 70mm wide by 160mm deep internally, my iphone 7 fitted OK but I struggled to fit my Huawei which was really tight and that without the earphone plug fitted as the pocket not long enough.
The bag main pocket quite large 250mm by 170mm wide and will accommodate items up to 100mm in depth, inside the half moon zipped pocket is one elasticated webbing pocket and a material pocket with a central area between.
To the front of the main storage compartment is another top zipped pocket some 170mm x 170mm square which extends to about 50mm in depth, on the face of the bag a diagonal zip provides a map compartment about 150mm x 150mm by 25mm deep, all depths quoted dependant on contents of the other pockets as they sit on top of each other. In total the pockets will hold a fair amount of contents but this only a shoulder bag and just meant for essentials, not a substitute for a rucksack.
The biggest disappointment is the two webbing external bottle carriers, the elastic only expands enough to fit a 50mm diameter bottle up to 170mm in height, probably about 250ml of fluid if one can find a bottle that small, however fluids could be carried upright internally in the larger pocket if required.
This a really nice shoulder bag which could benefit from a few improvements, however for short walks, mountain biking, jogging this ideal as not as cumbersome as a rucksack, robust and fairly comfortable to wear with easy mobile phone access if it will fit.
I have Baggage - a Tardis of a bag
Smaller backpacks are always handy for quick trips, so when I saw this sling bag I bagged it!
Pros
So many compartments and pockets!
You can fit a surprising amount in it.
Some pickpocket protection
Phone pouch
Internal key chord
Good quality
Different ways to wear.
Compact
Easy release strap clip
Cons
The fixed position phone pouch feels awkward
Needs breaking in
Cat’s out of the bag
Tis sling bag comes in a small package, it is folded up and squished into a zip-lock bag, I liked this as it gave you an idea of how compact this bag will pack away for holidays etc. Willow (my cat) insisted on photo-bombing.
It’s in the Bag
As I inspected the bag thoroughly I was surprised at just how many pockets and zip-up compartments it had, there’s even a little snap-lock key cord inside which is always handy, this was just the main bag, the phone holder had a few more and accommodates headphone leads too. I was quite impressed at this point.
Pack Your Bags!
I then decided to see how much I could cram in it, surprisingly I fitted over 8 tea-towels in the main bag, why tea-towels? aside from my lucrative tea-towel smuggling venture, I used to sell handbags and how many tea-towels they could fit inside was always a gauge, 8 tea-towels is impressive.
A Mixed Bag
The phone holder was pretty good but I do have reservations about it as you can only wear the bag with the phone pouch in front as it would be an easy snatch for a thief, it also felt awkward and in the way due to its fixed sewn in position.
Dirt Bag
From new this bag feels too rigid and clumsy, it will take some breaking in to soften it up enough for it to be comfortable, perhaps that phone holder might feel less awkward as it softens up?
Sling Your Hook!
A small but handy feature was the well placed shoulder strap release hook-catch near the base of the bag.
Bag a Bargain
But overall I liked it a lot and I will like it more as it beds in, the amount of pockets in such a small bag is impressive and makes it easy to organise your stuff as long as you remember which pocket it which!
Baguette (The End)
Versatile, but may or may not be waterproof
A nice looking bag. The strap and the back of the bag are padded and vented, and the strap has plenty of adjustment. You can swap which side the bottom of the strap attaches to the bottom of the bag depending on which shoulder you want to put it over, which I really like as having the bag over the same shoulder on a long walk can be achy and uncomfortable.
The pouch on the strap has an outlet for a headphone wire, and a small reflective band. The pouch will take my iPhone SE 3rd gen with its case which is 7.5cm wide and 2cm deep, but not much more room for new phones which are usually much bigger.
The main compartment has two inner pockets, one mesh and one material. Under the storm flap in front of the main section there is a zipped compartment, and there is a further zipped pocket with a diagonal zip on the front of the bag. This diagonal zip looks to be of the waterproof type but this may be of no use as even though the listing title says waterproof, one of the listing images states ‘as the zip is not waterproof do not use it in the rain for a long time’ and that ‘it will be improved in the next batch of products’. A bit confusing — is it waterproof or not? I think it will be showerproof at best, but will report further on this when I get caught in the rain.
There are small mesh pockets on each side, but not big enough to take even a small water bottle. I do like all the various pockets and compartments, so I know where all the small things are instead of everything together in a jumble at the bottom of the bag. Overall a great bag but one star deducted for the waterproof or not issue. Current price of 15 is fair.
Little bag, holds a lo
I was surprised at just how much this bag will hold and how comfortable it is to wear. I prefer cross body bags for security and would have liked a longer strap so I could adjust it better to my preferred position.
The strap and back are padded and feel comfortable. My iPhone in its case easily fits into the strap pouch. There is an area for headphone cables to be fed through but everyone I know uses wireless so this wouldn’t be a selling point for me.
The side mesh pockets are too small for many water bottles but will hold tissues, sunglasses etc.
There is one pocket under a zip with a reflective strip and under that is the zip for the main bag which is surprisingly roomy. I can fit my kindle, purse, brush, keys, water bottle with a bit of room to spare.
The clips aren’t the best quality plastic but they work ok.
Currently 14.99 it’s worth the cost.
Lightweigh
It’s not the nicest bag, it feels a bit cheap.
Would do you for a hike as seems to be shower proof but I just felt it was nothing special and you have to unclipped to het to the main compartme
A useful day bag
This is a really useful bag that you could use for a city break or a walk. It’s small enough not to be too obtrusive of too much of a faff to carry but big enough for your essentials – I would usually carry my phone, purse, keys, water bottle and maybe a map or guide book if you are travelling.
I like the different compartments and the little pouch on the strap for your phone.
Perfect for carrying a small number of items to work or fora short hike
Bit conflicted with this bag, perfect for me as a delivery driver to carry all the bits I need throughout the working day, in my case a recharge battery for my phone, pad & pen, hand towel, tissues, snacks and coffee mug. My iPhone 13 fit perfectly in the phone holder on the shoulder strap. The only real downside is the strap was a bit too long and lastly the bag material was very course, it is tough, looks very water resistant and other than the two points mentioned is very well designed. It’s nota fashion item, very practical though. Excellent price.
Useful
This sling bag has multiple pockets of varying sizes with a nice tucked away one accessed by unclipping the front. Pockets are zipped for security. The back of the bad is padded, vented and comfortable. The only thing that it failed on for me is the net pockets on the side would only fit a small water bottle and the pocket on the cross body strap that is meant for a mobile phone (it even has a hole for headphones) was too small for my mobile which is a Google Pixel 7pro that is in a case. All things considered though it is an overall very useful bag to carry lots of bits and bobs.
Good crossbody bag, light and easy to carry.
The Alitifiy Sling Bag or as i call them, crossbody bags, tend to come in all shape and sizes, This one comes in a nice simply design with a nice logo of the brand on it. its got side pockets, a nice large main strap and double zip up main internal pocket. it does have some nice padding on the inside of the crossbody bag and their is also a mobile phone holder on the main strap. The only issue I found is, the mobile phone holder is not as big as I was expecting, its not very wide, so my phone only just fits inside it. Larger phones with a wider screen may struggle to fit the phone holder. The whole purpose of the bag is to travel light and it does exactly that. the material is basic, but its waterproof and the design is nice enough.
Pros: Light and waterproof, padded, internal double zip pocket, small side pockets.
Cons: Mobile phone holder is a tight squeeze for modern phones.
Sturdy
This Sling bag has loads of zipped areas and pockets to help you separate your items to keep them safe. Inside the main area is also a clip to enable you to attach keys which is a useful feature. The small pouch is big enough to take my iPhone 12 Pro, for most people I would think that the facility to pass a headphone cable through has become obsolete. This is a generous size sling bag and as I’m under 5 foot tall it seems a little too big for me.
