The Long Weekend Sedona Cross Body Bag Review

It's like an extra pocket I didn't know I needed.

It’s tough to find stylish gear bags that function well for casual days. I’ve got my hard cases and my backpacks for longer trips, but sometimes, they’re a bit too heavy-duty for the everyday. The struggle to balance the light gear days without throwing a camera loosely in my purse has gotten more and more real.

Functional and Stylish

I recently took some of Long Weekend’s gear bags on a camping trip and instantly fell in love. While I packed a range of gear, I just needed to bring one or two cameras with me on our excursions with the dog on the beach.

The Sedona Crossbody Bag ended up being a versatile vessel for a day of exploring. I clipped on the Everyday Zip Pouch with a few rolls of Portra, stashed my point-and-shoot in the crossbody’s main pocket, and stowed some accessories (and snacks) in the main pocket.

The beauty of this little guy is its simplicity: two pouches, an adjustable strap, and easy access in and out. I’m not stressed about losing items or getting it snagged on a branch as I hike out of my campground. It’s my perfect minimalist kit to trust in any scenario.

As I mentioned earlier, it can be tough to find stylish gear bags. Call me crazy, but I want to be practical and cute! Long Weekend offers both a clean and colorful design and a monochromatic look in black. All their bags mix and match well as wholesome accessories without being intrusive in looks or bulk. I opted for the black Sedona Sacoche, which ended up pairing adorably when I needed my colorful zip pouch to house my chapstick and a few additional rolls of film.
