Reviews Summary
Customers say this crossbody bag is the perfect size for daily essentials like wallets, phones, keys, and small items. Many reviews mention excellent internal organization with multiple pockets, rings, and compartments that keep items accessible and prevent everything from settling at the bottom. Users appreciate its compact, lightweight design that fits comfortably against the body without feeling bulky. The bag accommodates more than expected, with customers successfully carrying books, tablets, chargers, and personal items. Common feedback includes praise for the quality construction and durability. However, several reviews address a persistent squeaking issue with the strap attachments that some find annoying. Most customers find it ideal for travel, work commutes, and everyday carry, with many becoming repeat users who abandon other bags in favor of this one.

    Great to Use as a Purse on Trips

    I purchased the Side Kick specifically to use as a purse on trips. Looks like it will keep my stuff well secured, can be worn as a cross body bag, holds a lot, looks great, plus I love the color. I’m looking forward to taking it on my upcoming trips.

    Side Kick perfect size

    Bought the Side Kick for my wife for a small hand bag. It was perfect for the size she wanted. Lucky guess on my part. Just the right amount of small pockets. I bought it in aubergine. Cool color!

    Perfect travel purse

    I use this for all overseas travel. It's holds everything I need - small wallet, 1-2 hard glass cases, a super mini ghost whale, a mask and an 8 oz water bottle. I squish in a hat and gloves when needed or my e-reader. I like that it's durable for all weather, secure, but doesn't look too "sporty". I wish Tom Bihn would create a backpack designed to look less sporty but with all the benefits of Tom Bihn bags -specifically straight non-bulky straps that match the bag color. .

    stellar bag, material, color

    The best part of this bag is the color and material. The Saphire Spectron looked good online, but in person it is amazing. Yep, the bag is also great. Star quality and the rest of it. I was looking for an over-the-shoulder thing, for travel days, that would be allowed in most places and could hold my non-valuable essentials, namely, a 16oz wide-mouth REI Nalgene bottle, my raincoat (rolled up in a small packing cube), snacks, sunglasses and other small items. The Side Kick has the right volume and proportions for that.

    Goldilocks

    I have been looking for the right size bag for a few years. I have tried a couple from another brand. One was too large and one was too small. A light bulb went off, why haven’t I looked at Tom Bihn?

    Ordered a side kick and it’s perfect. I especially like the inside organization. Everything is in it’s place and easy to find . I chose wisely, finally.

    Now if Tom Bihn would make the small back pack into a sling bag? That could be perfect too.
