About this product
There is a category of things you always need with you and never want in a rear pocket: a phone, a wallet, keys, a passport, sunglasses, a small camera. This bag is built for exactly that set, worn across the chest where everything is in front of you and in your eyeline.
That positioning is the point. On a crowded dala dala, in a market, or walking through town, a bag on your chest is a bag you are aware of. A backpack pocket behind you is not. It is the same reason travellers have used cross-body bags for decades, and no amount of clever zipping replaces simply being able to see your own bag.
It is made from 100 percent polyamide fibre – light, durable, scratch and wear resistant – with waterproof zips and water-resistant materials, so light rain and splashes do not reach what is inside. At 12.5 x 26 x 4 cm and 135 g it is genuinely unobtrusive, and the strap adjusts so it can be worn high and tight or slung lower.
The design is unisex and the off-white finish is neutral enough to look right with anything. It suits hiking and cycling as much as daily use in Dar es Salaam – anywhere you want your essentials with you and nothing else.
