Sling Bags & Bum Bags

A sling bag keeps your phone, wallet and keys on you and easy to reach, without the bulk of a backpack. Shop slings, bum bags, waist packs and small crossbody bags from Thule, Nomatic, Victorinox, Wenger, Manhattan Portage and Kelty, from an authorised stockist for every brand.

Sling bags have become the everyday bag for travel days and city walks. Worn across your front or behind you, a sling keeps essentials close and hard for anyone else to reach. Wear the same bag around your hips and it works as a bum bag or waist pack.

Size is the main choice. Small slings from 1 to 3 litres fit a phone, cards and keys, which suits the Nomatic Navigator range, the Thule Subterra 2 Sling and Kelty's Giddy 3. Step up to 5 to 8 litres, like the Kelty Sunny 5 or Thule Tact Sling 8L, and there is room for a little more.

Security matters on busy streets. Several bags use concealed zips, openings that face your body or RFID-blocking pockets, Victorinox makes a security belt bag and Wenger an RFID security waist belt. Manhattan Portage, Victorinox Altmont and Thule Paramount add more styles.

The Travel Shop is Australian-owned and an authorised stockist for every brand we sell.
