Product Review: RuMe Crossbody Backpack and Pouches

I have all sorts of re-usable bags, including sturdier bags for groceries, mesh bags for technology cords and travel pouches for cosmetics. Now I have a new favorite, go-everywhere bag: the RuMe Crossbody Backpack.

 

This backpack is sturdy enough to carry a good load, but it’s ultra-lightweight and stuffs into it’s own zippered pocket. The strap is cleverly designed to use in one piece as a cross body, or to unzip and use on both shoulders as a backpack.

On a recent outing, I threw in a change of clothes, a water bottle and a book and it was the perfect lightweight and stylish crossbody tote. At the farmers’ market, I stuffed the bag full of fresh produce, unzipped the straps and wore it home as a backpack. The bag was comfortable even with a heavy load.

 

This is the perfect bag to throw in the car, in your suitcase, or in your purse for when you need an extra tote. Although the material seems to wipe clean, you can even throw this bag in the washing machine! Pair this with the RuMe Baggie All organizer pouch and their Reveal Quart see-through bag, and you’ll never use plastic bags again.

 

RuMe bags are available at www.myrume.com for $4-$60.
