CarharttDurable Sling Bag, Crossbody Backpack with Side Release Buckle, Tablet Sleeve and Adjustable Strap, Black

I bought and returned a bunch of sling bags before finding this one and using it on a trip to europe. This bag was just about perfect.What most lack is storage capacity. This bag is quite small and slim when empty, but expands to fit quite a lot of stuff when you fill it up. One day on my trip, I was carrying a camera, umbrella, a down jacket, sunblock, two water bottles, some small souvenirs, with room to stuff in some more things if needed.A couple days I got rained on and soaked, but everything inside the bag remained dry.Other sling bags quickly became a pain on my shoulder, while I have now spent many days walking around with this for hours with no shoulder pain — granted I refrained from packing it with anything too heavy.Fabric is very lightweight, but feels rugged and durable. I expect the bag will last me forever.Cons:My biggest issue with the bag is it is one sided. It has to be worn on your right shoulder. So if you have pain on that shoulder, a preference for your left shoulder, or simply need to switch shoulders once in a while, you really can't. The best you can do is wear it in front of you to sling it on the left shoulder, but it's not the best Front-sling bag because it's a bit large for that. I wish the design allowed you to switch which bottom corner the strap clipped on so that you can wear it on either side.Secondly, I'd like the hardware to all be metal and include some places to attach carrabiners. The clips on the strap are plastic. And if you stuff the pack and need a place to hang a Yeti water bottle, there isn't really anywhere to attach a carabiner other than putting it around the strap itslef. But I'd like some dedicated loops or rings. If you hang anything from the loop on top, it will offset the balance when the bag hangs diagnolly on your back.Lastly, It would be nice if the main sipper had a way you can put a lock on it. Like if there were two zipper heads or if there was a loop at the top you could lock the zipper onto. This was never a problem, but I would like the option for that simple anti-theft precaution.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's durable and it works. Not sure what else to say.

Great bag. Lager then a fanny pack but smaller then a backpack

Good Buy...

Amazing bag, very durable. Use it on my commute every day. Holds a surprising amount of stuff. Very comfortable on the body.

Great bag, well worth it!

Durable fabric, smooth zippers, lots of pockets. There is even a zipper pouch with key clasp, inside the front compartment. High quality item at a fair price.

The bag is big enough for my needs and seems to be well put together.
