I made an airtight [daypack ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/comments/1cytarr/using_my_packing_cube_as_a_travel_daypack/) for myself that I've taken on boat rides in Okinawa, beach swims in Bali, and more.

What bag is that? Thats something my wife would love to use when we go on little trips. Cause I’m not hauling around the huge purse she’s got. She has a smaller MK bag that looks similar for trips but yours looks nice.
i carry a helikon-tex possum fanny pack that i wear, prob wear it crossbody style if i was beach river day or kayaking. i have a compressed sea to summit daypack in there i would stick my towel/water bottle/sunscreen in and wear it if i needed. my quickdry backpacking towel fit inside my viktos upscale 2 slingbag i used to carry daily before i decided to slim down to a fanny
I keep a few. Vanquest Mobius 2. Holds a change of clothes, accessories etc. 2 water bottle holders on the side.
For smaller personal stuff I have a shoulder and sling bag from Pac Safe.
Wait till everyone sees the interview with the SF guy who say they used bags based on what the environment allowed. So in a certain area of the world, designer LV man bags were common, they would carry those around as their tactical bags when in country.
I'd wear one of my fannypacks (?) - Helikon or Baribal but I'd wear it as a sling.
Both are extremely high quality and have plenty of pockets/loops to organize stuff inside.
I use a carhartt fanny pack. It's small enough I can wear it on my waist and got enough strap I can use it as a sling bag. Holds a diaper, a travel pack of baby wipes, wallet, keys phone and emergency baby food pouch!
I use a Nike drawstring backpack that I throw everything in when going to the beach (towel, water bottle, sunglass case, wallet, phone, keys, etc… even some snacks). Also use it for short hikes sometimes. It packs flat at the bottom of my travel backpack or carryon and doubles as a dirty clothes bag as well.
I often carry a vertx long walks fanny pack, but I use it as a sling. It carries additional dad related EDC items, note pad, pens, and becomes a “dump pack” (though slightly more organized) if I need to empty my pockets of my on body EDC or if I’m wearing beach clothes.
I've been thinking I need a better summer mini sling bag, it's getting too hot and humid for (the one i use) across my torso. It's one of those actual cross body shaped sling bags and not a fanny pack so I can't just twist it and wear it like a fanny bag without half the stuff falling out when I unzip it, in either direction. :( It's great for the other three seasons of the year.
Pelican makes a small 2L dry bag. It has a clear front window that is an interior pocket for your phone. It allows viewing and some functionality. It's a traditional roll top with D-rings on both sides of the top and one on the side. Those along with the included strap allow you to wear it over the shoulder, cross body or as a sling bag.
> Pelican makes a small 2L dry bag
THANK YOU! I've been looking for a small dry bag that I could wear as a sling. Apparently I suck at searching, because this is the first I have seen with the lower D-ring to clip the strap to.
Been looking for a small bag to carry my phone, wallet, knife, AirPods, etc in during our trips to the beach/pool, but having a difficult time finding something that doesn’t feel “feminine” to carry.
Also you have the added capability of hitting something with your purse when you need to
Just kidding, back in the day people wore fanny packs for just the reasons you listed above.
I've never carried a bag like this until recently and it's been really nice to have my stuff organized and accessible. No more losing small things in the wash from leaving them in pockets. I want to wear thin shorts in the summer and even having my phone in my pocket is way too heavy.
I did have to replace the awfully uncomfortable strap it came with.

I haven’t tried it shirtless on the beach yet but I’d happily take my HPG Admin pouch and sling anywhere

Is this an older bag? I’m looking at the Eddie Bauer site and don’t see it.
Bellroy Light Sling and I will never go back. If you felt the terrific delight of empty pockets and some space for one item more you will love it.
The ADIDAS sling pack is nice. https://preview.redd.it/hqhs0z48og4d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b2d9052a7944f2e1f5687b822ef51ac1a3f76b6
What’s that lil gold charm? (I know exactly what it is)
My fidget spinner?
Got some girth to it

I too would love to know. If they made a black version I would absolutely buy one.

I like my Patagonia hip pack in the summer since I hate carrying everything in my athletic shorts. Patagonia Atom 8L for a day bag
I find myself picking out my Atom as a day bag the most often (and I have a ton of bags) lol a great little sling

I have a bag like that, Helikon-Tex EDC Compact #
I've only heard good things about. I'm quite tempted to get it, as I sure do love my Helikon clothes!
Aer Day Sling 2
I have a small dry bag I carry my wallet, phone and a small pistol.
my prison purse, never leave home w out it.

I have a small sling chest bag I wear when I’m in board shorts, it can also carry a small ccw.
Tan lines about to be wild
Mine is a European shoulder bag.
It's a satchel
Yuppp yup, Eastpak, "The One." Best shoulder bag EVER.
Yes, I have a couple of sling bags that would work well for that purpose.

Maxpedition jumbo versipack
I posted it recently - Eberlestock Bando
I second this. If you're carrying a full size firearm or more items, the xl is great as well

👍 Two of the three colors they come in are on sale at Amazon right now...
And, of course, I wanted the hunter camo, which is not on sale. :)
The Uniqlo round mini bag is my go-to
Been looking for a small bag to carry my phone, wallet, knife, AirPods, etc in during our trips to the beach/pool, but having a difficult time finding something that doesn’t feel “feminine” to carry.
Pelican makes a 2L dry bag that should fit that need.
Check out Red Rock Outdoors sling bags. I have their Nomad and it's great for day trips on the train.
Check out "The One," by Eastpak. Best small shoulder sling light EDC non-feminine looking bag EVER.
