Know before you buy
You can wear it both ways. The strap is fully adjustable, allowing you to comfortably transition between a traditional fanny pack style and a crossbody fit.
Measuring 11" x 5" x 2.5", the pack is designed to hold daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, and a few smaller items. It is sized to be spacious enough for sports gear or travel necessities without feeling bulky.
The bag is crafted from water-resistant Nylon packcloth. While it is not fully waterproof, it will effectively repel light rain and moisture to keep your belongings protected.
The Hip Sling is machine washable, making it very easy to maintain. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle and letting it air dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric and hardware.
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Because this is professional-grade gear built for heavy use, Tough Traveler stands behind the construction of every bag made in their USA facility.
