More on the RE:FORM Carry XB:01 Crossbody (1L + 3L)
What I like
- RE:FORM make one of my favorite wallets, and these slings are very, very sleek
- The small one is the get-everything-out-of-your-pockets size, with a strong magnetic clip off to the side of the bag
- Utilitarian minimal detail: the right amount of pull, the right size tabs
- Zippered pocket on the back for cards, a little key clip and two meshies inside
- Low-profile strap, and it takes up very little space on your body
- The bigger one adds a magnetic pocket on the back, way more space, hidden attachment loops, a wider strap and really beefy material
- One of my favorite new products of the last year
Watch for
- The bigger one has no zipper on the front
Specs
- H2ORIZON ripstop (weather-resistant coated nylon), YKK Aquaguard zippers, magnetic buckle, MAGNASEAL phone compartment
