The front zipper pocket will take a passport, the slip pocket at the top will take most phones, and the back zipper pocket will take a medium-sized credit card wallet. Pack it up, sling it on, and you’re good to go!

The Mini Traveler pouch can be worn comfortably under a jacket for ultimate security – concealed when traveling. This highly original little pouch can be worn multiple ways – either across the chest, back, or on the shoulder.
