VADOOSling Bag - Anti-theft Crossbody Shoulder Bag for Men and Women
K**H
Great travel purse for a great price!
For the price, this is a great bag! It tucked right in to my body, and even fit inside my jacket on the chilly London mornings. The top, snap phone pocket fit my Google Pixel phone, the middle zip pocket carried my personal items, the lower zip pocket kept my passport safe, and it has a large inside pocket for my wallet. I would have liked to have more color options, but the blue was good. Having it right at the front of my body made me feel that my belongings were secure. It was comfortable enough that I even left it on for meals at the pubs!

Well made and functional . . . but I decided to return it.
The Vadoo sling bag is a well-made product. The materials and assembly are excellent and durable. The pockets are deep and the zippers are somewhat concealed behind the overlying flap . . . highly unlikely that anyone could successfully "pickpocket" anything from them, making the contents as secure as possible.The shoulder strap includes a loop for hanging sunglasses and/or a pen, but is not as well-padded as I think I expected, The adjustable webbing portion that loops through the lower attachment point is strong nylon and not easily susceptible to being cut, although a "seatbelt knife" might have a small chance of success . . . but not without the wearer being "alerted" to the attempted theft if the bag is being worn properly.The several pockets are quite roomy. The phone pocket has a magnetic clasp (which I personally don't care for compared to a real snap or velcro fastener), but it is large enough to easily accept my Samsung Note 9 in its Davis wallet case, although I prefer to keep my phone in the front pocket of my pants or shorts.Alas, my only disappointment was with the "large" pocket, described as being able to accommodate a larger (9.7") iPad. I keep my 6th generation iPad in an Otterbox protective shell. With that shell in place, the opening for the large pocket is not wide enough to accept the iPad. If I remove the top half of the shell, I can get the iPad with the rubbery bottom half of the shell into the pocket, but the lower end of the pocket is too narrow for it to fit and this causes the zipper not to close. If I take off the rubber half of the shell, then the iPad will fit, but this entirely defeats the protection purpose of the Otterbox shell.If it weren't for the fact that when I take short business or leisure trips I tend to leave my laptop PC at home unless I have to use it for a presentation. I prefer to take my iPad instead in order to keep up with email and for entertainment in an airport terminal or in the plane. My idea was to have something that would allow me to leave my "tactical" bag that normally houses my iPad when traveling in my car if I didn't need to have my tactical flashlight and other personal protection items that won't pass TSA screening with me during an upcoming trip unless I put them in checked luggage.Unfortunately, and only for the reason stated above, the Vadoo bag doesn't meet my need. Otherwise, it would have been a keeper. As a Prime member, I have chosen to return it. But if I can't find another one like it that does meet my need, I may return and purchase the smaller bag as an "EDC" travel bag when traveling without my car.

Worth buying
It is pretty roomy. It has such a slim design, but the ability to hold everything I need to take with me while traveling, walking, or hiking. I do need to stick to essential things though because what I keep in my every day purse is a lot. I seem to want to plan for every possible event or problem that probably will never happen. This purse does the job and looks nice.The zippers work open and close easily. I love that the key fob is in a pocket right in front of me and I don't have to fish it out of my big purse or hold said purse up to the car. I wish the strap could be able to extend. It is snug around a winter coat with multiple layers underneath.

Fantastic bag for travel and every day!
Fantastic bag! I bought it for a trip to Europe where we walked all day, every day. I wore the bag and it became a part of me! So comfortable and easy to wear with great pockets. Phone pocket at the top is great and easily accessible. Highly recommend!

Impressed by these!
I bought both sizes and my first take away was how sturdy the zippers are. Also there is a tiny catch for the Strap so it doesn't come undone. In both sizes the pockets are deep and decent sized. I got both to determine which I'd actually use and while I might 3xchabge one for a different color I am genually pleased with the sturdiness of each bag.

Nice size
I bought a similar crossbody like this that is much smaller. I loved it so much but realized when traveling, I needed more room to carry certain things around with me and also places to put (smaller) things I bought so I wouldn't have to carry them. I'm small, like 5' 1" and weigh about 95 pounds. This bag fits nicely across my chest or, if I'd like, across my back. I like wearing it both ways because I feel it's secure enough where people can't just unzip things without me noticing. I can carry a small tablet, my bigger cell phone, a wallet (mine is small), a salt shaker, pens, glasses, sunglasses, a small brush, my keys, etc. If I had to say anything negative, it would be there's no clip inside to clip my keys to it so I don't have to dig to the bottom searching for my keys. I bought a big safty pen and pinned it inside the purse and clip my housekeys to that so they're always in the same spot.After buying about 4 different sizes and brands, so far this is the best one and great for traveling and everyday use. It's also very lightweight and easy to get into when hanging from my chest. My cousin liked it so much she bought one too.
