Aoede 1.5L Crossbody Bag

Just right. Goldilocks would be thrilled.

Not *too* small where it struggles to hold the essentials. Not *too* big where it's cumbersome or an abyss for your belongings. Honestly, it's perfect for keeping everything I would otherwise have in my pockets elsewhere. Phone, keys, wallet, headphones, pocket knife, spare change, receipts, and the odd pack of gum or pair of sunglasses. Nothing goes missing. Just right. Usually gravity keeps it at my waist under my arm but I like to hold the strap and slip it around on to the small of my back while I walk. Otherwise it kinda gets in the way of my swinging arm in stride. About as good as a pack can get for the money.

I love this, I just

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this, I just wish this strap was a little thicker.

Not "cross-body"

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The strap is too short to be considered "cross-body". Worn that way -- with the strap fully extended -- the pack can only rest against your chest or close to your armpit, not your waist or hip.

great for travel!

the item description is wrong - the depth of the bag is maybe 2” max, which in my opinion is actually okay. this bag holds all the essentials, and the two inside pockets are very helpful keeping things organized. the bag itself seems very sturdy.
