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! 

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. 

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 own the go bag mini and I absolutely love it! It’s the perfect bag for traveling as it fits under the seat of an airplane. It’s also very sturdy and made well. 

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 their go-bag had a laptop sleeve or even a pocket for a water bottle. 

Have been close to this brand since it launched. I own their 40L go bag, their fanny pack, a dopp kit and now their newest sling bag. I'm always impressed by the quality/durability and how good the colors are. To me, it's a true form meets function product. It's a bag that I've gifted to many people and will continue to do so. At one point, the fanny pack was my only bag for two months and to this day it looks almost brand new. Their go-bag is one of the best travel bags I've ever owned and makes traveling such a breeze. It's considered a TSA carry-on but I flew Spirit recently and they definitely considered it a "personal item" (aka don't have to pay extra to board with it) so there's that. I also think the price-point is super affordable for what you're getting... also comes with lifetime warranty so!! 

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

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 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.

I can't stop buying things from here! The Backpack Mini is a personal favorite, as a tiny-backpack connoisseur. The quality is 5 stars. 

Such a great travel bag for both road trips and air travel! I have the Go Bag - Big and it has replaced my smaller suitcase for traveling. Perfect for 5 days worth of clothing and the backpack straps make it so much easier to carry.
I've only had it for a month and took it on 2 flights, but it feels especially sturdy and made of durable materials. Would expect it to easily last for years with 5-10 flights per year. 

I love my Go Bag!!! I have it in the mini size and it's the perfect size for my 5'2 frame as a sports bag, gym bag, and travel bag. I brought it as my carry-on once and it fit everything i needed for a 5  day trip. The bag is such nice quality and all the utility zippers are great and do not get caught or stuck. 

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%.

I purchased a go-bag after being on a weekend trip with a friend who had one, and I am SO happy I did. I was so shocked at how much it holds, and the structure of the bag has stayed intact even after many trips. 

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!

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

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.

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.
