Since 1989, Nike’s ACG label has proven that outdoor gear doesn’t always have to look as utilitarian as it’s intended to be. Imbuing its jackets, shoes, and bags with a style-forward aesthetic, the “All Conditions Gear” range has long been a cult favorite for a reason, with some items selling out incredibly quickly. Today, we’re focusing on the brand’s latest “DAYMAX” Crossbody Bag, which epitomizes the spirit of ACG’s form-meets-function ethos to a T.
Even at first glance, the “DAYMAX” looks like something that would aid you well on the trail, from its 100% polyester construction to its versatile pocket setup to its handful of gear loops and sturdy triangular metal keyring on the outside. These expand the 3-liter crossbody bag to handle even more, allowing for several attachments, but not too many that you’d get bogged down. Closed via Velcro, the exterior gusseted mesh pocket on the left expands so you could keep any snacks or even a walkie-talkie. On the right, the zippered compartment is perfect for keeping your smartphone, keys or wallet separate from everything else. Nike says it’s big enough to hold an iPhone Pro Max. As for the main zippered compartment, it can hold everything else — first aid essentials, maps, external chargers, etc. — while also organizing your gear a bit, thanks to the separated mesh slip pockets inside.
As well-constructed as this bag is, its style is the real selling point for us. Exterior features include the rugged yet sleek black polyester shell with eye-catching light gray detailing on the gear loops and ACG emblem. Also, Nike has included some reflective detailing for nighttime adventures and has equipped it with a comfortable shoulder strap. Measuring 9” long and 7” tall, with a 2-inch width, the Crossbody Bag really is the perfect small hiking bag to supplement your main bag, whether you’re rocking the 25-liter “DAYMAX” Backpack or 60-liter “DAYMAX” Duffel. Backpacks may come on and off your bag throughout your day but a compact sling can stay right by your side, keeping your essentials right there with you no matter what.
Priced at just $65, the Nike ACG “DAYMAX” Crossbody Bag, along with other “DAYMAX” bags, is available now from Nike’s web store.
