Izzie | Water Bottle Crossbody - Desert Pink

EVERYONE NEEDS ONE!!!

We are in the middle of a fall RV get away, with most of our time being outdoors hiking, etc. I LOVE this water bottle crossbody, & give it 5 ⭐️'s 👍 I have said for years that someone should make a small bag of some kind to carry your water bottle, iPhone, and a couple of necessary essentials, not as big as a back pack. The moment I saw that Sherpani was making one I knew I would be ordering it. I told my husband that he needs one! GOOD ON YOU, SHERPANI‼️

Best idea

I often want to bring a small bag somewhere, but then don't have room for a water bottle. I had another water bottle sling that carried a bottle great, but only had a tiny slip pocket that barely fit my phone and also wasn't water-resistant, so sweating bottles leaked through. The Izzie solves all of these problems! It carries a ton of stuff without being bulky--phone, credit cards, keys, hand sanitizer with room to spare. Having two pockets is great. It is water-resistant, so no leaks even with sweaty bottles. I got Wasabi Stone and it's a nice gray color, love the pop of yellow-green on the zipper. It's very cute and you could definitely use it as a bag even if you didn't have a water bottle. Overall I'm really glad I got this bag, but couple small things I wish were improved: 1) the price is high. Sherpani is my go-to travel brand, I have several bags and no doubts about the quality I would receive, but I balked at spending $50 on a water bottle sling. I waited for a sale and it still felt like too much money. 2) the crossbody strap isn't very comfortable. The carry handles are VERY comfortable fabric and I could carry it by hand for hours. The crossbody is a thin nylon strap and if you have a heavy bottle it will dig into your shoulder pretty quickly. I might get a velcro pad for longer walks/hikes. 3) minor thing but I wish there were two zippers on the outside pouch so you could adjust its depth. It unzips really far and it makes me concerned that small things like credit cards could be pulled out if you're getting something else. I find myself checking for my small items every time I go into the pouch to make sure something didn't accidentally fall out, but so far nothing has. 4) The cinch at the top is kind of odd, the ruffle is cute but it also blocks the top of your water bottle if you are trying to drink while the bottle is still in the sling. It's a lot of fabric up there. And as others have mentioned the cinch doesn't seem to really do much, it doesn't expand the width of the bottle holder or anything and if your bottle fits in the sling it will be secure either way. It's nice it's not elastic because then it won't ever stretch out and the sling will last longer, but ideally there would be less fabric blocking the mouth of your bottle.

Perfect!
