Review on Backpack Shoulder Charging Waterproof Lightweight by Josh Maher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little shoulder bag! Convenient and cheap!

My search is finally over. I think I've found the best shoulder bag for the money. This bag is just fantastic. Not too big, not too small. Durable, attractive, weather-resistant design, good performance and affordable price. I like the fact that the strap and back are well padded. The strap also has a loop to hang your sunglasses from, as well as a small zipped pocket to store your ID and debit card (or other small items) if you wish. Nice gesture. The length of the strap is also easy to adjust, and you can easily switch which side of the bag the bottom end of the strap attaches to, depending on whether you're right-handed or left-handed. that is, whether the belt runs across the chest or back, from the right shoulder to the left side, or from the left shoulder to the right side. Also, I'm a tall man - 6ft 5in and 300 pounds. with strap adjustment to make this bag fit me. take up space in the main compartment of the bag, this also means that if I fill the main compartment to the brim, the external pockets won't get cramped (like flat zip pockets) and I won't be able to stuff stuff inside it features an external USB port for charging the device outside the pocket. The USB port connects to a charger of your choice, which you can store inside. It's really handy and I love it. Finally, I like that there are no company badges on the bag. is up to date and looks very clean which is great. The only mark found is a small lightning bolt icon on the external USB port on the side of the case. Below I list everything I keep in this bag. Please note that I have included Revain links to each of the products. listed. They're not clickable, but you can at least copy and paste. The main bag is a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5 inch with a slim sleeve and an Apple Pencil case. (Yes, this case fits a 10.5" iPad with a case.) ---- Pro Slim Case: https://amzn.to/2m3yHtc ---- Apple Pencil Leather Case: https://amzn. to/ 2km6GN4- BT Foldable Portable Keyboard for iPad Pro https://amzn.to/2kSCNEr- Diamond Crown 3-Cigar Case (pictured right - no link)- Visol Dobrev 5-Flame Cigar Lighter https://amzn .to/ 2kTwxwc---- The lighter is stored in a black leather zip pouch (which I bought from an art museum - no link) - Cuban Crafters Large Cigar Cutter https://amzn.to/2kWjgD9---- Cutter Packs into a black leather zip case Jinhao Rollerball https://amzn.to/2lXUByg- Black Leather Reading Glasses Case https://amzn.to/2ml3SAp- Bose Soundlink Micro Speaker https://amzn.to/2kSF8PJ- Telesc Back scratching post (sometimes come in handy!) https://amzn.to/2m4v9qBupper outer pocket - large polarized RayBan aviator glasses https://amzn.to/2kTvw7m - black microfiber cloth https://amzn.t o/2kSH9LN - 3-in-1 USB retractable charging cable https://amzn .to/2kqt5sG - Black leather retractable tape measure https://amzn.to/2kqudwq External lower pocket - Black pocket notebook (dotted grid, 5.5 " x 3.5") https://amzn.to/2kqudwq ://amzn .to/2kvdJTU- Caran d'Ache 888 Infinite Ballpoint Pen - Turquoise (Black Ink) https://amzn.to/2m4MLCI- Tough & Tumble Metal Comb w/Sheath https://amzn.to/2mqsvf4 - Mad Rock Carbine Super Tech Keylock (Blue) https://amzn.to/2AWSPBK Exterior flat zip pocket - US flag black rubber patch https://amzn .to/2m3Fhjo --- I'm keeping this because I can't attach it anywhere else on the bag. something I will fix soon. As you can see, that's quite a lot! Believe it or not, there's still room in the main pocket and quite a bit more in the lower outer pocket. I attach my car keychain, KeyBar, and Airpods case to a carabiner, which I then attach to the bag's shoulder strap when the carabiner is not attached to the belt loop. Works perfect. Other items like my pocket knife, thin wallet and odds and ends are kept in little black pouches that I just carry in my pants pockets, but I could keep them all in this bag if I wanted to. Well I couldn't be happier. CONS / DESIRED CHANGES I'm only deducting one star for three reasons: - I'd like to see a large velcro on the front of the top exterior pocket so I can put my own patch - The USB port on the outside of the pocket needs to be at a slight angle (maybe 15 degrees) to make it easier to connect the USB cable to charge devices. It's very difficult to connect the cable these days because it's so narrow on the side of the bag that it's hard to grab. I wouldn't mind if there was some sort of Molle on the outside of the bag (maybe a bit on the sides). which can be used as finger loops to easily lift the bag.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • So-so
