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! Read more

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. Read more

Got this bag to take on an upcoming trip to Europe, and it looks like it's going to be perfect! For starters, I love the RFID pocket--it's much deeper than I anticipated, so it should hold my small wallet and my passport, too! (But not too deep that they won't be easily accessible.) Plus the RFID pocket is a zippered pocket that's easily accessible within the main, zippered section of the bag, so that's multiple layers of protection. But the RFID pocket it just for starters. There are also two open pockets in the zippered main compartment so I can easily slip my cellphone into one for easy access (but still safe because of the main zipper! And that's just the start of the pockets. There's also another section on the front of this bag that's closed just by a flap with a magnetic clasp--the perfect place to stick snacks, kleenex, etc., that doesn't need protecting. AND in front of that, there's another zippered pocket that I'll be using for lip balm, etc.--small things I want handy, without digging through my bag, but I need them more secure so I don't lose them. AND if that weren't enough, there's ANOTHER pocket on the back side that's also enclosed with just one magnetic snap in the middle, so you could carry taller things that need to stick out without a zipper or flap interfering. I'm thinking a travel umbrella, etc. The rest of the purse seems pretty great, too. Like the waterproof nylon, and the adjustable strap that lets it hang on the front of my hip so my hand/arm naturally set on top of it--as another layer of protection!. The only downside is it isn't slash-proof, but I've heard those are heavy. And I'm hoping that because it rides on the front of my hip, with my hand over it, and I can hold it in front of me whenever I'm sitting, that the lack of slash-proof tech won't matter. Oh, and did I mention that the middle section is big enough to carry a tablet and a handful of other things, too? Plus, it folds up really small, which I need since I'm gonna pack it for travel on a 2-week trip where I'm only taking carry-ons. And if that weren't enough, the company also throws in a ReturnMe ID, so if you would happen to lose it, whoever finds it has an easier way to get it back to you! One little caveat: I haven't used it yet, but it's absolutely everything I was looking for in a purse for this. Fingers crossed it performs as expected! Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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! Read more
