## Description

Review: Reliable everyday bag - I bought this bag in 2020 after starting a new job. It ended up becoming my everyday bag. Sleek over the shoulder design with a clasp means I’m always readily available and not weighed down by my pack. Versatile for my shift from the factory to my free time at the rivers. Roomy enough to fit a medium size change of clothes. Good quality as the fabric hasn’t rot or ripped or even faded, the zippers don’t get stuck or break mid pull. My husband has commandeered this bag and claimed it as his own, so I may get another soon.
Review: Easily a favorite! - While I never carry a traditional purse, I do always carry some type of bag when I travel which is frequent enough for me to have a large collection of small messengers and backpacks. I had been eyeing this bag for a long time in my local outfitters but the price was too high for me to justify it until my last trip. I was traveling light so I needed something for airport land (travel docs, phone, carry on fun, snacks, etc), walking around towns, and dayhikes. After the week trip, I am so love in love with this bag I now carry it daily. The sling setup for me is so convenient and let's not gloss over the obvious that the sling is made of rope so for those of us that climb or cave it makes it extra fun - even had a number of fellas comment on the "coolness" of that. I wear it tight to my body so it doesn't easily shift other than when I want it to. Just swing it around and grab what I need. I love the pocket layout as well. The small one carries chapsticks and small items. The larger front zip handles the phone, my large ecig, extra batteries, and sometimes my keys. One pocket seems slightly larger and that holds my large wallet, food, tablet, stuff for the dog, hand wipes, medicine, etc. Your daily use stuff. The other pocket I use for whatever my task is that day and a water bottle or I carry clothes in it. I have fit a surprising amount of clothing in there. The bag at first glance does not look like it will hold all this but a clever design makes it work. I never feel like I have a big bag on and it never feels heavy. It feels high quality and I love that the fabric is good at sloughing off dirt and debris picked up on the streets and trails. I suppose one day I'll have to wash it but I have a feeling that's a long way off. My only regret is not picking this up sooner. One downside is if you have a very small frame like myself. I have the strap pulled all the way in. It fits great there but you have to bundle up all the tail. Thankfully there's a little spandex holder that keeps it neat. I worry about this breaking though. I can always just lop it off and recreate the spandex thing to the best of my ability but I wish the excess strap storage would have been dealt with a little differently as still sometimes the holder lets loose and I have a foot or so of webbing flopping in the wind. Other than that, no complaints.
