Peak Gear Crossbody Travel Purse with RFID Blocking Pocket and Lifetime Recovery Service. Nylon Shoulder Bag

Just before a trip, the strap to my Baggallini broke and I was unable to get just the strap (no match available). I didn’t want to pay the price of a Baggallini, but it is my go-to for travel. I love the expandable bottom. Then I found this Peak Gear bag, and it’s perfect! It’s deep enough that I don’t miss the expandable bottom, but not so big that I feel like I have a big tote on my shoulders. I love it! (especially at about half the price of the B) It wears well, has lots of pockets and a sturdy nylon fabric. I also use it when walking my dog because it’s has plenty of room for treats, poo bags, and a water, but doesn’t feel heavy. Yep, it’s my new favorite!

Love this bag! It’s lightweight but spacious- I seriously fit a ridiculous amount of stuff in it (including mine and my kids’ 4 iPhones, 2 portable chargers, my large wallet, 5 passports, sunscreen, sunglasses with hard case, and two full water bottles, plus various small items) and it still held up great. All the pockets under flaps and zippers felt very secure, and it was an easy bag to carry around. It isn’t the most fashionable, but it’s pretty understated so it doesn’t stand out badly.

Used this in my 6 week trip to Italy and Germany. It was perfectly adequate for my needs - held what I wanted to carry each day, ability to keep it close and in front of my body, and was RFI protected. Loved all the pockets, but had to be consistent in what went where or you could spend too much time searching for things.

This is a great bag with tons of space for its size. The only reason for the 4 and no 5 stars is the strap. This was mentioned by another person as well. Although, it laid flat, it looked kind of cheap. I just put another strap from another crossbody and it looks great now. The bag is lightweight and the zipper quality is good. Very functional due to the many pockets.

Great bag! I used it for the first time on a recent 5-day trip to London. It kept my things dry when I was caught in quick shower. It held everything I wanted to put in it--one day it held my 16oz water bottle as well as my small umbrella. I did not have any issues with the zippers or the magnetic closures. This bag is a great crossbody find that is durable, wearable, and holds everything securely and does not add any additional weight because of the material it is made from.

UPATE OCTOBER 2025: The magnetic closure of one of the bag's compartments finally gave out with minimal use (I have lots of bags) when I took it on a week-long trip this September. It was the same magnet that I'd mentioned in my first review as being flimsy. It finally did rip through the fabric. I'd made the purchase quite a while ago back in April of 2019, so took a look at my purchase to confirm that there was a lifetime warranty. I contacted customer service and sent a photo of the tear, and the warranty was honored and I was sent a brand new bag. Well, at first I was sent the wrong bag, their sling bag, but they let me keep that and sent out the replacement for the nylon crossbody. I couldn't be happier with their outstanding customer service. Also, the sling bag is very nice as well, very well-made, and also has a magnetic closure, which I look for in a day bag for easy access to my phone in particular. I recommend not only the bags but purchasing from this company in general. They stood by their lifetime warranty, and I really appreciated that. I received my Peak Gear cross body travel bag the other day and am THRILLED with it, so thrilled that I transferred everything from my older daily bag that was showing wear, used it right away to do an errand, and it was just perfect, with everything easily accessible thanks to the magnetic closures and wide back pocket. On top of that, I emailed customer service with a question, and received a reply within just hours--on a weekend. I really love bags with magnetic closures and back pockets--this bag has both, including three magnetic closures (front flap, center, and back pocket) in addition to the zippered compartments. I had wanted a light carry-on bag for travel this summer, and this bag checks all the boxes for that and is roomy enough to carry everything I need. A really nice add-on is the Return Me digital tag, and that made the decision to buy this bag a no-brainer. I like it so much, I might get the burgundy one too. A few things that would improve the bag for me would be just a smidge larger width. I had had a smaller cross body bag height-wise, but that was maybe 1/2" to 3/4" wide, which had that easily accommodated both my 3.5" wide smartphone and a 4" wide hinged wallet in the back pocket, with the magnetic snap keeping both separated nicely and very easily accessible, and I would love to see that improvement to the Peak Gear bag. I would also possibly make the straps just a little bit wider or with a bit of padding. Lastly, the magnet for the main compartment is a bit on the flimsy side for the strength of the magnets and pulls a bit too much on the fabric. They look to possibly be sewn on, so I wonder if one if going to give at some point, as they're pretty loose right now, although if that happens, it looks like an easy sewing repair. Other than that, this bag is absolutely perfect for my needs, and I look forward to using it not just for travel but daily.

I love this little purse! I have been looking for the perfect little lightweight bag that was large enough to hold a few things, without being too heavy. This bag is PERFECT!

This bag is cheaply made but a perfect size for travel. I got this bag exclusively for a European trip. It worked well for day trips as I could fit a lot in there including a couple of water bottles. The bag is decent but the strap is cheap. The strap needs some support as it came all twisted and wrinkled. I spent a lot of time getting it to lay right and to my surprise it stayed that way for the duration of my trip. Overall I would recommend for a limited purpose.
