Healthy Back Bag Microfibre Small 3rd Generation Shoulder Handbag

Recommended by a friend and has lived up to the recommendation. The first time I have found something comfortable - I have long term shoulder problems and wear the bag across my front avoiding the problem shoulder. Excellent for carrying all you need with all the different compartments.

I purchased this bag by way of a recommendation from a friend who has two of these....I am delighted with mine. The colour is true to the photographs and the bag is excellent quality. I have shown it to my physio ( I have had spinal surgery) and she agrees that it is an excellent solution for me to carry " stuff " around when travelling.

I’d wanted something like this for a long time - a small sac for day use or short distance travel where a conventional rucksack can be a hindrance. This worked a treat on a recent holiday, securely holding travel documents and money,
maps, a water bottle and tightly rolled waterproof jacket. It is comfortable to wear once the shoulder strap has been adjusted, and feels secure swung forward across the chest with easy access to contents. I found plenty of room to separately store bits and pieces. Sometimes I’ve found that a conventional day sac is too large for the limited needs of a few hours walking. This bag should work perfectly.

I thought this would be ideal for me as a travel bag and had high hopes. I find rucksacks good for my back but impractical for reaching for wallet etc. The Healthy Back Bag Microfibre Small 3rd Generation Shoulder Handbag fitted the brief in that I could easily access passport/mobile etc. However, while I loved the look of it and all the pockets etc it felt heavy when packed and pulled on my neck. I found it pressed into my chest, too. To define what I mean by 'heavy when packed' the bag contained: a half filled water bottle
a paperback book
a lightweight cardi (200g)
passport and small wallet & mobile.
Not an excessive amount but it felt like it! I'll use the bag for round town but stick to a backpack for travelling,

I always admired my friends' Healthy Back Bags but carried on using the awkward other bags I own. Then one day I took the plunge and bought my own HBB. Now every time I wear it someone (male and female) compliments me on it...how attractive, stylish, useful etc. I've no doubt I'll be going for other colourways of this bag, as 2 of my frIends have already done.
