Quick Overview

The Rothco Crossbody Day Bag is a compact 2L bag of 1000D nylon, worn crossbody or around the waist, made for keeping a phone, wallet and everyday small items close to the body on commutes, travel days and concerts.

A two-way zipper opens the main compartment at both ends. Inside are 3 mesh pockets for small items and an internal clip for keys or accessories. Two exterior zipper pockets, one front and one back, hold paperwork, cash, earbuds or chargers apart from the main load. An adjustable nylon strap with a side release buckle carries it across the body or around the waist. It ships empty.

The bag measures 8" x 5.5" x 3" with a 2.0 L capacity and 6 pockets in all. The shell is 1000D nylon, and the strap extends up to 46". It comes in Black, item 26980-BKC, Coyote Brown, item 26981-CB, Midnight Black Camo, item 26982, and Midnight Woodland Camo, item 26983.

Before you head out, run the two-way main zipper and both exterior zippers, check that the side release buckle latches, and confirm your keys are on the internal clip. Brush off dirt, follow any care label attached to the bag, and retire it when a zipper, buckle or strap fails.

Field Application Steps

1. INSPECT ON ARRIVAL: Confirm you received the color you ordered. The bag ships empty. Run the two-way main zipper from both ends, open both exterior zipper pockets, check the internal clip, and latch and release the side release buckle.

2. PLAN THE LOADOUT: Keep the load to what you reach for most. A phone and wallet go in the main compartment, small items in the 3 mesh pockets, and paperwork, cash, earbuds or chargers in the front and back zipper pockets.

3. PACK THE INSIDE: Clip keys or an accessory to the internal clip so they stay put. Slide small items into the mesh pockets, then set the phone and wallet in the main compartment.

4. FILL THE OUTER POCKETS: Put the items you want apart from the main load, such as cash, earbuds or a charger, in the front and back exterior zipper pockets. Zip each one fully closed.

5. CLOSE THE MAIN ZIPPER: Close the two-way main zipper fully without forcing it over the contents. It opens at either end, so you can reach in from whichever side is closer.

6. SET THE STRAP: Adjust the nylon strap, up to 46", and fasten the side release buckle. Wear the bag across your body, where it is designed to sit comfortably between your shoulder blades, or around your waist as a fanny pack.

7. STAGE AND UNPACK: Between outings, keep the bag in one set spot with your keys on the clip so it leaves with you. At the end of the day, empty the pockets and remove anything the next trip does not need.

8. CLEAN AND STORE: Brush or wipe dirt off the nylon and let the bag dry fully before you close it. Follow any care label attached to the bag, and store it dry with the buckle fastened.
