Review on El-Fmly Canvas Cross Body Messenger Bag For Men Women Sling Shouler Backpack Travel Rucksack (Navy Blue by Amanda Lemons

I bought this role play bag because I needed something to carry all my character supplies and this little bag was a real soldier. He survived the desert weekend very well. The canvas is very durable. As you can see from my photos, I put a lot of safety pins in it and hung a lot of friendship bracelets on it. This proved to be a problem at our campsite as the picnic benches had holes into which the buttons on the ends of the bracelets would fall. When I was on the bench, we were attacked more than once by other players playing monsters, and I had to get up and run, not realizing that I was stuck, and just ripped off the bracelet. However, the canvas has never torn because of this. Crushing the bag, even for aesthetic reasons, proved difficult as the canvas wasn't as roughened or soiled as I wanted, and I rubbed it into the dirt, patted it down with sandpaper and just threw it onto the cement in the driveway. A definite plus for those of you who do NOT live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The strap is also nice and sturdy (I haven't had the buckle breaking issues that some have said, but I've only taken it to one game so far.) It wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but I have it a lot narrow, bony shoulders and I couldn't tighten the harness as securely as I'd like. I'm 5'4" and only 115 pounds so keep that in mind if you're looking to buy this for kids or if you're just a small person. Other than that it's quick to put on and take off and easy to adjust, but the strap still stays in place where you adjust it.It was very comfortable to run and fight in, it didn't slip or sway.(Ignore the tape I wrapped around the belt in the photos. It's not broken, I just added it for decoration) The pockets are easy to access even when you're carrying a bag, it was easy for me to flip it forward when I needed something in the main body of the bag, and the Side pocket that I kept my water bottle in was easy for me to reach and grab.Adding tape to the bottom of this side pocket for decoration actually stiffened the pocket making it easier to slip the bottle in and out ert, but you definitely don't have to, lol. My only real complaint is the magnet. straps in front. It can take a hot second to get them back in place (that might just be my problem. I mentioned zombie attacks right?), but for the most part they stay in place when in place and are. I kept my gun (a taped bone) under the breech and had little trouble with the release latches when extracting or holstering. very busy weekend and I am very happy with it. :)
