SKYSPER One Strap Backpack Sling Crossbody Bag – Lightweight

I used this for a 16 mile walk that took seven hours, and I’m glad I did because otherwise, I’d have used a 25 litre backpack. It was a very hot day at the end of July and a very long way to walk. This bag may only be 8 litres, but I was able to fit a 2 litre bottle of water in it as well as 500 ml of cola in the side pocket, a power bank, some basic first aid items and snacks without any trouble and with room to spare.

There are two side pouches for things like water bottles, but I’d say they’re only big enough for a 500ml bottle which should be fine.

I found it a bit strange to get used to because I don’t typically use sling bags, but it was easy to adjust the strap to go across my body from left shoulder so the pack fitted around my right hip. It was still easy to swing it around and open it up to access something, or take it off.

You’ve got quite a zipped pocket between the bag and your back which is good for security, then there’s the main compartment which has a pouch in it to divide some space. The lower pocket at the front is spacious, and the higher one with the yellow band attached to the zipper, is smaller but also contains a small carabiner clip which is probably for glasses.

Plus you can fold it up into itself with the front pocket which isn’t exactly easy, but if it was easy the pocket would have to be larger or the bag simpler. Either way it works and gives you a small package that’s easily storable. You can absolutely put this into a 30 litre laptop rucksack like my normal go to, and use it for day trips as a tourist or going out for lunch.

I think it’s good value for money for what you’re getting and the zips do seem like they’re good enough quality to be reliable for quite some time.
