Crossbody bags aren't just for fashion. They are a truly functional everyday option to carry your essentials when shopping, traveling, walking, exploring the outdoors, and commuting. Crossbodies offer:
Hands-Free Convenience: You don't have to hold the bag itself and because the strap runs diagonally across your body (one shoulder to opposite hip), it is a relatively balanced style that doesn't require constant adjusting.
Security: Crossbody bags are typically harder to snatch than shoulder bags.
Weight Distribution: Again because it is worn diagonally across your body, the weight is spread across your torso instead of all on one shoulder.
Organization: Many of our crossbody bags have pockets for phone, keys, and other daily essentials. Our Base Camp Shoulder Bag, for example, has a zippered main compartment with a secure-zip mesh pocket and a key hook plus an external fleece-lined pocket for easy access.
Strap: Adjustable Strap with reinforced stitching for durability
Size: Think about how you plan to use the bag. For day to day use, a smaller bag might be a better option. For commuting, a larger style or a messenger bag may be a better option.
Material: For lightweight durability, look for bags made from nylon or polyester.
Pockets: If you like staying organized, look for bags with zippered pockets for valuables and external, fleece-lined pockets for phones and sunglasses.
Closure: Consider the bag's closure. Zipper are more secure while snaps offer faster access.
Berkeley Field Bag: Our Berkeley Field Bag remains one of our most popular lightweight bags perfect for everything from a short walk to a day exploring the city. With multiple compartments and a water-repellent finish, you can carry your water bottle, cell phone, keys, and other essentials hands-free.
Base Camp Shoulder Bag: If durability is important for you, look no further than our Base Camp Shoulder Bag. Made with our Burley Base Camp fabric, it has the classic-yet-rugged functionality you've come to love in our Base Camp series. A roll-top design adds visual appeal and additional security.
Base Camp Voyager Pro Crossbody: The ultimate crossbody for travel, our Base Camp Voyager Pro Crossbody is lightweight, water-resistant, and built to attach to the Voyager Pro Travel Pack. It features a zippered main compartment with 3 divider sleeves, 2 drop-in mesh pockets, and a zip mesh pocket for smaller items.

Crossbody shoulder bags are perfect for keeping the essentials on hand. In the airport, replace a bulky travel backpack with a crossbody for your passport, wallet, and boarding pass. On the trail, you don't need a whole daypack to carry some snacks and a map of the area. You can even load up on sunscreen and water and head to the beach or a festival.
Our crossbodies offer more versatility than a pebbled leather purse. The adjustable strap means you can wear your pack like a hobo bag over your shoulder or across your body. Some of our bags also double as belt bags or tote bags. In a hurry? The top handle allows for a quick grab on the go.
