  • Baboon to the Moon bags are nice, sturdy, and very colorful. I liked how saturated the color options are for their bags. Fabric is thick, durable and has a finish that helps it with water resistance. I liked the bag I have and would recommend.

  • I got my big blue bag a few years ago, and it's been a workhorse for me. I use it to carry pretty much my whole kitchen with me when I'm going to cook meals at friends' or family members' houses. I also love to use it for grocery shopping; the top zipper is great as a compartment for holding a carton of eggs. It's so roomy, has tons of places for me to put everything, and it's very easy to clean. Mine still looks brand new after all the times I've used it.

  • I’ve been wearing Fanny packs for the last several years and have had trouble with many of them wearing out over time which I have found with Herschel and Cotopaxi, but the bag continues to be solid after a year of use. I also like their Triangle Tote but wasn’t allowed to add more than one product.

  • I just wanted to respond to the review that claimed their warranty is “fake” because I had the opposite experience. I purchased a Go bag large and lost both small buckles on the first trip I took it on. I reached out to support to ask about the buckles and they immediately sent me a new bag, nearly no questions asked. The original bag technically still works so now I have two bags, which may not be the answer for some, but it impressed me. My one con is the Maple Syrup color looks like flesh!! If I could go back, I would probably choose a different color.

  • Truthfully this is one of the most amazing bags I have ever used. I took the basic small go bag to Europe with me for a 2 week trip as a carry on and it was perfect. Since the zipper portion is on the inside the bag is very secure, there’s not even a chance someone would be able to pickpocket you while wearing the bag as a backpack. The bag is very comfortable on the shoulder even when it’s heavy, and it fits perfectly in the overhead bin. I have also checked this bag in and it came out looking good! The mini is good as a personal, it fits about a weekends worth of stuff.

  • If the aesthetic is what you're going for I'd have no hesitation buying this bag. I've tried a backpack from them and it feels really lightweight and comfortable but all the materials and zippers feel high quality. Definitely a bag I would expect would hold up well over time and could take a lot of wear.

  • This is one of those "inescapable instagram ads" brands so imagine my annoyance that I caved and checked them out and it turns out they have crafted a perfect sling bag. The Crescent Crossbody seems very complicated with a lot of pockets (two of which are WATER BOTTLE POCKETS! in a SLING!!) but it's genius. The shoulder strap is adjustable, has attachment points for a carabiner, and has not pilled any of my clothes. The water bottle pockets cinch down when not in use, the mesh slip pocket is great for transit cards or other easy-access items, the main compartment fits a generous amount of things and has zippered storage AND a decent-length key leash. Obsessed with it — originally bought it in a lavender colorway and bought a black one when it was back in stock. Deeply, deeply regret not buying a "soph pink" colorway which seems to have been a limited run. Four stars, however, for two reasons. The lavender sling came with a few loose threads that make me nervous to use those particular pockets (back slip pockets), but that was not the case with the black sling, so it might be a quality control issue. Also, I originally also bought one of their original small sling bags and while it's also very functional and I like it well enough, the product pictures were misleading about having a detachable strap which was one of the main reasons I purchased it!

  • Their products are great but their warranty is fake. I have a dozen of their products and when my daily carry backpack had the fabric wear through on the lumbar area after two wears of use, they said that was normal wear and tear. Lifetime warranty equals two years of use, then you throw it away and buy another one (with their 25% off, sorry our quality sucks coupon). I might as well buy from Temu and get the same treatment.

  • I love how rugged and sturdy yet stylish these duffel bags are. They’re great for overnight travel to international trips! I used the mini as my carry on and it was perfect as a backpack for maneuvering transportation and security. It can also be a crossbody strap or carried by the heavy duty handles. It seems to be virtually indestructible so these bad boys are with you for life. They are wipeable and so roomy. I love the exclusive color drops they do too.

    My only complaint is that the backpack straps are not very comfortable if you’ll be wearing it as a backpack for hours taking it on and off. It’s just tough in your back by the end of the day.

  • I have no idea how Baboon to the Moon makes their products, but I'm pretty sure these bags could survive a simultaneous hurricane and tornado. I have a fanny pack from them that's absolutely incredible. So well made, awesome to look at, holds a ton of stuff, and is virtually indestructable. Highly recommend.

  • I love this brand. I have one of their fanny packs and it's incredible. It's the perfect size and has so many secret zipped pockets. The brand's mission is great and I support their products 100%.

  • The products are high quality, but design could use some thought. I have the 24L backpack. My biggest gripe is the flat water bottle pockets. When I travel, the backpack is packed full. So then there's really no room for a water bottle which would necessarily take up internal space =\ I'll be replacing this.

  • Love the vibe and their aesthetic. Only wish would be for more functional pockets like a laptop case in their duffle as an example

  • I started subscribing to BABOON's amazing emails a few years ago and finally picked up one of the bags. I love their patterns and outlandish prints, and this bag is very durable. I don't always use it for travel because it doesn't have wheels, but it's useful.

  • The brand is strong, and the products are really wonderful quality. I wore a fanny pack daily last year and it looks as good as new. I purchased a duffel for my sister about five years ago and she still uses it and it looks new.

    Feedback

    The duffels store a lot, but are fairly bulky when compared to a product like the Patagonia Black Hole.

  • Baboon to the Moon bags the most esthetically pleasing adventure bags. I take my adventure bag on small casual trips in more rugged climates, It's super useful when going camping, it fits everything you need and is super easy to carry around when hiking. Every time I see someone with a Baboon bag in public wither one of us would initiate a conversation. It's pretty rare that a bag company could have such a fun and close knit community. Which is just a nice addition.

    Wish the quality of the bags were a bit better and they waterproof vs water resistant.

  • I love their branding and the style of these bags. Very fun and whimsical!

  • Durable bags and fun colours! Doesn’t fold up into itself like some other brands and is a bit heavier than expected but I feel like I could throw this off a truck and it wouldn’t notice. Wish they had other backpack sizes and styles, I might buy another if they expand their style offerings. Not cheap but feels super high-quality.

  • Huge fan of their products! I have the small go-bag, which I've used for month long travel trips where I only wanted to bring a carry on. I also have a day bag (backpack mini) which fits a shocking amount of items and has many different pockets, which I love. I find them to be pretty high quality, and they often have sales. Love!

  • Good quality go bag. Love the color and how much you can fit in it. Price went up but was able to snag it right before the change.

    More padding on the go bag straps
