A compact sling built to keep your things safe on the move
This waterproof anti theft crossbody bag for travel is made for the moments when you want your phone, wallet and keys close and secure. It is a structured, teardrop-shaped chest bag in matte black Oxford fabric, with a clean finish that looks tidy rather than loud.
The feature that sets it apart is the built-in combination lock on the side. It is a TSA-style lock, so you can fasten the bag without carrying a separate padlock. Next to it, the product title lists a USB port, which is handy if you like to keep a power bank inside and charge your phone without digging around.
It also has a top carry handle, a front zip compartment, and a padded adjustable shoulder strap. Together they make it easy to wear across your chest, shift to one shoulder, or hold by hand when you are standing in a queue.
The bag is made by Homefish and costs $79 with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for short trips and busy days out
This bag suits people who travel light and want their essentials secured without a big backpack or a heavy shoulder bag. It was cut in a men's style, but the compact size and neutral black make it a good unisex travel crossbody.
The built-in combination lock
Most crossbody bags rely on a zipper alone, and a zipper is easy to open in a crowd. Here, the combination lock sits visibly on the side of the bag, which does two things. It makes the bag harder to open quickly, and it signals to anyone nearby that this bag is not an easy target.
A lock is a deterrent, not a vault. It will not stop someone determined who has time and tools, and it will not help if the whole bag is taken from you. What it does well is protect against the common problem of a quick, quiet opening while the bag is on your back or side in a busy place. Wearing the bag across your chest, where you can see and feel it, adds another layer.
Because it is a combination lock, there is no key to lose. Pick a code you will remember, and avoid birthdays or simple sequences.
The USB port and everyday layout
The product title lists a USB port. A port like this is usually meant to connect to a power bank stored inside the bag, so a cable can run to your phone while the bag stays closed. We do not have details on whether a power bank is included, so plan to use your own and check the listing information if charging is important to you.
The front zip compartment is the practical part of the layout. It keeps small things you reach for often, like a transit card, lip balm or earbuds, away from the main space so you are not opening the whole bag in a crowd. The top carry handle is useful when you want to lift the bag off a seat or move it between hands.
At 16 x 9.5 x 33 cm, it is slim and tall rather than deep. Think phone, wallet, keys, passport or a small pair of sunglasses. It is not a bag for a laptop or a change of clothes.
Fabric and feel
The shell is Oxford fabric, a woven material known for being tough and easy to wipe clean. The bag is listed as waterproof, which is a real help in light rain, spray or a spilled drink. The lining is polyester.
In the photos, the finish is matte and clean, and the bag holds a firm, structured shape instead of slumping. The padded shoulder strap should be more comfortable than a thin strap when the bag is loaded, and it adjusts so you can set where the bag sits.
We do not have fabric weight, seam details or a water-resistance rating, so we cannot promise how it handles a long downpour. Waterproof fabric helps, but zippers and seams are often the weak points on any bag. If you are in heavy rain, keep electronics in a small pouch inside.
Care instructions
- Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap if it gets dirty.
- Let it air dry fully before closing it up for storage.
- Avoid machine washing, bleach and high heat, which can damage the structure, lock and electronics-related parts.
- Empty the bag and keep the zippers clean of grit so they run smoothly.
- Store it away from direct sun and in a dry place when not in use.
Size guide
This bag comes in one size, 16 x 9.5 x 33 cm (about 6.3 x 3.7 x 13 inches).
How to measure
There is no published size chart for this bag, so here is how to judge the fit yourself.
Take a tape measure and check 33 cm (13 inches) against your body. Hold it vertically against your chest or side to see how much of your torso it will cover. Then measure 16 cm (6.3 inches) across, and 9.5 cm (3.7 inches) for the depth, using a book or a box of similar size to picture what will fit inside.
Next, think about the strap. It is adjustable, so measure from your shoulder across your chest to where you want the bag to sit, such as at the chest, at the side of your ribs, or near your hip. Use a piece of string for this, then compare it to the strap when the bag arrives. We have not published a strap length, so we would rather you not guess.
Finally, lay out the things you plan to carry. If your phone, wallet and keys fit comfortably in a space of about 16 x 33 cm, with a little room to spare, the bag should work for you.
Which size should I choose?
There is only one size, so the decision is whether this size suits what you carry and how you want to wear it.
It is a good match if you carry a phone, a slim wallet, keys, a passport and a few small items. It is a bit tight if you usually carry a large phone with a thick case plus a bulky wallet, a water bottle and a tablet. In that case, a bigger bag would be a better fit.
Smaller frames can wear it high on the chest or snug at the side. Taller or broader frames can lengthen the strap and wear it lower on the hip. Since all sales are final for fit or change of mind, take a minute to measure before you order.
How to style it
Because the bag is plain black with a matte finish, it goes with almost everything. Here are some easy ways to wear it.
- Across the chest for the most secure feel, with the lock side facing outward where you can keep an eye on it.
- On one shoulder with the strap lengthened when you want a more relaxed look.
- With a jacket or hoodie. The compact shape sits neatly over a light layer and does not bulge.
- With travel basics. Pair it with sneakers, jeans and a simple tee for airport days and long walks.
- As a second bag. Wear it under or alongside a backpack to keep valuables in front of you and everything else behind.
The cut leans men's style, but the neutral color and small size work for anyone.
Where else you can wear it
This waterproof anti theft crossbody bag for travel is not only for trips. The same features help in plenty of everyday places.
- Commuting: keep a transit card and phone in the front compartment and your wallet inside, with the lock closed on a packed train.
- Festivals and markets: crowds are exactly where a lockable bag helps, and the waterproof shell handles a sudden shower or a spilled drink.
- Day hikes and walks: carry the small essentials without a full pack. Wear it high on the chest so it stays out of the way.
- Cycling and errands: a snug crossbody bag stays put better than a loose shoulder bag.
- Weekend getaways: use it as your personal item for documents, chargers and snacks while the bigger bag goes overhead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this bag really waterproof?
It is listed as waterproof and made from Oxford fabric, so it should handle rain, splashes and spills well. We do not have a formal water-resistance rating, and zippers and seams can let moisture in during heavy or prolonged rain. For electronics, a small pouch inside is a sensible extra layer.
How does the anti-theft lock work?
The bag has a built-in TSA-style combination lock on the side, so there is no key to carry or lose. It makes the bag harder to open quickly in a crowd. It is a deterrent rather than a guarantee, so keep the bag in front of you in busy places.
Does it come with a power bank for the USB port?
The product title lists a USB port, but we do not have information on whether a power bank is included. Plan to use your own power bank inside the bag and connect your phone through the port.
What will fit inside?
The bag measures 16 x 9.5 x 33 cm (about 6.3 x 3.7 x 13 in). That is enough for a phone, wallet, keys, a passport and a few small items. It is too slim for a laptop or a bulky tablet.
Can I return it if it does not suit me?
All sales are final, so we cannot accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your bag arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, we will replace or refund it within 14 days of delivery. Measuring first is the best way to make sure the size works for you.
