Description

The Packing Cube Shoulder Bag is a dual-purpose packing cube: in preparation for and during your journey, use it to organize and pack your clothing inside the Aeronaut, Tri-Star, or Western Flyer — just like how you'd use our Packing Cubes. When you reach your destination and it's time to leave your main travel bag in the hotel or hostel, repack the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag with a light jacket, wallet, phone, small water bottle, map, and add a shoulder strap: you're ready to go out and explore, and you've saved space by not having to bring a separate bag for day use.

Most folks who use our bags have at least one shoulder strap made by us, and thus we don't include a shoulder strap with the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag. If you would like a second shoulder strap for the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag, or simply a lighter shoulder strap, choose the optional 1" Shoulder Strap.

It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?

Durable and versatile with surprising capacity

I put all the clothes I needed for a five day trip except my hoodie and a pair of jeans into one of these. They are deceptively big and are pretty decent as a shoulder bag as well. Though it's worth saying that something with a bit more dedicated internal organization may ultimately be better for that purpose, it's nice to have the option. I got compliments on it when I wore it that way.

EDC and for travel

This is my third PCSB -- first one is practical black halcyon, second was also in Dawn with the strap rings on the diagonal. Purchased this in Dawn since it has the strap rings on the ends -- which, IMHO, is much more comfortable to wear. I use to pack complete change of clothing in carryon, as packing cube in my checked bag, and as EDC purse after arrival. Just the right size for wallet, sunglasses, sunscreen, phone, post-its and pen, and small pouch for chapstick, bandaids and etc. I've been using the 5/8 strap with it and that works well since my items are not heavy. I miss the metal zipper pulls on this -- easier for me to open and close. I'm a lefty, so I tend to wear this on my left side with the outer pocket toward my body. That makes unzipping the diagonal zipper with my left hand easier. Love the water resistant material, the color, the ability to wipe off smudges/grime easily. PCSB's are a great investment for travel -- after you use it as a packing cube you'll find ways to use it everyday.

Best choice ever

Though I had reservations about the cost of TB I decided to try packing cube shoulder bag for upcoming travels nationally and internationally. I am a minimalist packer (much to my husband's annoyance). I chose black for versality of use. What an amazing product. Quality fabric, zippers, strap attachments, perfect size. The additional zippered pocket is appreciated. Definitely worth the investment.

Excellent product!

I love my packing cube shoulder bag. The 210 coyote color is really handsome, especially for someone looking for a less loud profile. It’s coming with me on two trips this summer, one in Colorado as a day hiking bag, and the other in London to store travel items.

The only suggestion I have is to consider adding two webbing loops on the side to allow the bag to accommodate hip straps, so you can use it like a bum or hip pack.
