I like this bag a lot. I got it for taking back and forth from work while riding my vespa. It holds a lot for a sling bag. I mainly got it to hold my Nintendo switch, water bottle, snacks and to use when I go to Disneyland and other travels. Surprisingly it holds way more than I need it too but I did notice that the heavier the bag is the less comfortable it is. I didn't get it to hold a lot of things, so for the few things I got it for, it is great.PROS:-Great build quality-very spacious with room for about 2" of additional space in the main compartment-Holds my 13.3" MacBook Air-Comfortable under a certain amount of weight-Good aestheticsCONS:-Uncomfortable when filled with "too much" weight-Mesh on the strap is super smooth so it always slips lower on your back-Strap is a little too long(I'm 6' 1" and I wear an XL shirt, so I'm not a little guy) with the strap adjusted to the shortest setting it rests at the lower of my back near my waist)Overall I really like the bag but I had to make 2 adjustments to optimize the bag to my liking.1. I got a thin foam pad from the craft store for $1.19, that I cut and sewed over the mesh on the strap so it wouldn't slip on my shoulder.2. I folded the back of the strap and sewed it so that it would be shorter and sit higher up on my back. I'm still giving it 5 stars because the bag itself is terrific at the price point and I knew off of other reviews on these bags, by this seller, that I'd have to do some customization to the strap. I recommend this to anyone who needs a small carry-all and that either, doesn't mind it sitting low on their back or doesn't mind spending $5 extra on personal modifications.I purchased this bag over the weekend and it’s was delivered in just two days via Amazon Prime. I’m an artist and illustrator who works in both digital and traditional media. I needed a bag that would allow me to bring both my 2nd gen iPad Pro 12.9” tablet and traditional art supplies with me on location. I didn’t want anything overly large or cumbersome. I also wanted a bag that was free of animal byproducts and this one has no leather/PU leather accents. It’s entirely canvas. So, I went for it.First, the quality of this sling bag is quite impressive. The canvas is quite sturdy and stitching looks good. Additionally, there are numerous metal loops that allow you to attach accessories or change the positioning of the sling strap to change how the bag is worn. This is great, since I’m on the smaller side (5’5” and 115 lbs) so the bag sits lower on my back than it would on someone bigger than me. I can slide bag to the side and have it a but more under my arm, which I generally prefer anyway. And, I can attach a small travel chair to the front so that I have a place to sit when I’m working on location. I love that!Second, the main compartment of this bag has a padded interior sleeve that fits my iPad with attached Apple Smart Keyboard perfectly, and still leaves plenty of room for a few sketchbooks. I would expect it could hold a 13” laptop as long as it’s thin, but anything bigger might prove problematic. There’s also a small interior pocket in the main compartment where I can store my Apple Pencil. The larger exterior pocket could easily hold a smaller tablet, a drawing tablet or other art supplies. And, the smaller exterior pockets provide plenty of room for charging cables and other accessories, additional art supplies, a few snacks and my smart phone. This is exactly what I wanted!I am really impressed with this bag and think it will meet my needs perfectly. We may need to pick up a second one for my husband. He hasn’t seen this one yet, but I think he’s going to love it as much as I do.Definitely worth the price just the right size didn’t want the bag too big a lot of room inside definitely will buy it againOver all I do like this carry bag/small backpack. Lots of places to put different things, it is sturdy and well made, I have been using mine for about a month to carry my stuff to go back and forth to work. The only thing that I don't like, is the lower rear outer pocket's strap closer, the one with the company label on it, is difficult to work quickly. I am guessing they did this to deter thieves, but I think that they could have made it differently and still be user friendly and thief deterrent. My suggestion would be that they make this cover go down further and then use the same type of connection that they use for the bottom end of the shoulder strap. Under a longer pocket cover and having to push the connector to open would be a thief deterrent, while still quick enough to be able to get in to for the user. I would also suggest that they make the bag a little taller so that there can be an outer pocket on the side where a small compact umbrella could fit into it, I have rigged mine up to work, but if the bag was a little taller and the pocket a little bit taller, it would be much better. Would I buy it again, yes. It is a great value, very good construction and a very good price. Some small changes in the design and layout and it would be perfect. That is why I gave it four stars.The bag is very well made. I carry my 10.5 iPad, flash lights, chargers for all my items, nintindo switch, extra batteries, Glock 19, with extra mags. I use this every day. It holds the weight, no threads coming lose or stitching breaking from the weight. So the two problems I have and the reason I gave it a four instead of a five. First is the strap that adjusts to the body. It doesn’t bring it close enough, it hangs a little and if I have to run. It really moves around. The second, is the clip to the rings, that hold the strap to the bag. They are not quick release and can be annoying having to clip them off and on all day. Also the clip is metal, which is good for everything expect, if you unclip the strap and don’t hold on to it. It will launch put a good little ding in your car door. I’m really happy with this, I hope in future design, they can adjust these issues. In closing, I would recommend it to a friend and would buy another one if I need to.It worksPretty dope
