Aion Sling Belt Bag

I bought this for travel to Europe and wanted something g sturdy, light and with a wide strap because narrow straps dig into my shoulders. This bag distributes the weight of items inside and lays flat against my body. I would give it five stars except that the straps are too short, making it a little difficult to reach in for what I want to take out. It lousy lays too high.

The reason I picked up this small bag was to use for small items and my water bladder for skiing. I get easily dehydrated when I’m on the mountain and if I’m not carrying water around with me I’ll go a whole day without hydrating. This bag fits my 1 liter silicone bladder as well as all the essentials that I need to keep on me (phone, chap stick, credit cards, ID, etc.) nice and compact and easily accessible. I had a small bag before this one that just couldn’t fit everything without the need for removing things. A couple features I love are the zipped pockets on the inside that keep important valuables like cash and cards from accidentally slipping out while I get my phone out to take photos. I love that it integrates as a hip strap for the pack pack as well. When I travel, which I do a lot of, I usually only take a back pack. While that’s great for flights it’s not optimal when you’re walking around the city. This feature, of being able to remove this bag from the pack pack helps me stay minimal but not without the essentials I need.
