Know before you buy
Yes, the adjustable webbing strap is designed to be long enough to wear comfortably over the shoulder or across your chest as a sling, in addition to the traditional waist or hip carry.
With dimensions of 9"w x 5.5"h x 2.5"d and a 1-liter capacity, it is sized to fit most standard smartphones along with other small essentials like keys, a wallet, and lip balm.
No, the pack is not waterproof or water-resistant. While the 400D recycled nylon is durable, it is not designed to protect your belongings from heavy rain or submersion.
The pack features two separate zippered pockets, allowing you to divide your gear. This helps keep smaller items like cards or keys from getting lost among larger essentials.
The 100% recycled nylon is quite durable and can typically be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the zippers and the pack's shape.
