VERY GOOD! Baggage and luggage

Excellent quality and materials used in this bag. Feels like a heavy canvas material. It looks and feels good, as well as being durable. This is a simple design, not small pockets everywhere, but several. Enough space for things when you don't want your hands busy with small things. Perfect size for me. Most slings I've seen with this design weren't big enough. It's good. I use it for bus trips when I might want to fill my pockets with trash. You can bring a small thermos, an umbrella, a wallet, a book, a SMALL bottle of water and something else. I actually use a mesh pocket for my bus pass and the credit card I will be using. The mesh pocket also holds a glasses case or a small water bottle. A large bottle should be placed inside. The strap padding is great and the edges are stitched so no annoying flat edges irritate your neck. I found a nice little surprise in the form of a little clip next to the outside of the bag to attach the keys to so you don't have to dig around when you get home for the keys. Note that this is not a book or computer bag for everyday use by college students or high school students. It's a bit smaller than that unless you need to carry it around with you everywhere. You can certainly stash a medium or smaller tablet in it, or a book you'll be reading when you're not at home, but it doesn't have the padded electronics pockets you'd find in a full-size bag. Students can use it for shorter trips when they're about to get naughty and don't need all the stuff you take to class. The back is padded and on the edge there is a small pocket for a modestly sized smartphone, which is softly padded. (but not soft.) I keep a Samsung Galaxy J7 phone in it. (3-1/4 x 6-1/4 in.) Very happy with it and very inexpensive. Steve PS The orange seat cushion shown in the picture deflates to a smaller size and can be folded or rolled up to fit in a bag.

Pros
  • NOT TOO BIG. NOT TOO SMALL. PRECISELY. A small LIGHT bag but spacious enough to hold all your personal belongings. PERFECT PERFECT for day trips or special occasions like travel, biking, workout, yoga etc. Boys, girls and kids love our sling backpack. TRAVELERS love the size of this bag for flights and places where larger bags aren't allowed.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
