Review on πŸŽ’ Sling Backpack for Men and Women by Peter Tennant

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice shade of blue, enough room for a 13 " laptop

I really like this bag. As mentioned in the title, the shade of blue is a real eye-catcher. I constantly get compliments from friends and co-workers. It's also very discreet (which I appreciate, I hate the bulky pocket). There are three smaller front pockets and a large main compartment with a laptop sleeve. Overall I'm very happy with this bag (especially considering I paid $29.99, a steal!). However, I have a few quibbles that made me give it a 4/5 instead. 5/5 Star Rating: As I mentioned, this is a low profile. This makes the bag feel better and less bulky, but it also limits what you can put in your pockets. Because all three front pockets directly overlap, with a pocket height of about 1.5 inches, you're pretty snagged (I fit about a 150-page paperback book in each pocket). It's ok for my purposes as I mainly use it as a computer bag. But for people looking for a more general application, this can be a problem. There's also no organization in the pockets (no pen/pencil holder or smaller internal pocket for things like loose change, lip balm, etc.). Another very minor issue I had was the size/quality of the strap. up. It's very thin and uncomfortable to hold when the package is full. It usually hangs on my back, but when I'm just carrying it from the car to the house I use the wrist strap, which is annoying. The last issue I had was with the laptop's padding. There's ample padding on the sides of the laptop sleeve, but none on the bottom. So if you set down (or drop) your bag too quickly, you'll hear a loud "pop" and wonder if you broke your computer. but overall this is a really great bag for the price. I use it to carry my laptop and a few other personal items to work every day and it does it very well. This is a clear recommendation from me.

Pros
  • SIMPLE AND COMFORTABLE: A very basic everyday backpack without being overly bulky. The soft back ensures a comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Vulgarity
