Great for an on-the-go artist!

This bag is perfect for me. I want to specify that I got the medium size (no one ever makes that clear in their reviews so I was really nervous that the smaller of the two sizes would be too small).This perfectly fits my ipad air 2, my small sketchbook, and a reading book, with room to spare. In the front pockets I have a collection of Copic markers, my sketch pencils, inking pens, eraser, and a few other art supplies for drawing/coloring on the go.I tested this and it also fits my D&D sized books. I have several books, and they obviously wont ALL fit, but I was literally amazed as I managed to put in the 3 core rule books, my DM screen, and my Out of the Abyss setting. My dice and a small collection of miniatures fit in the front. So while this technically wont hold everything I need to DM my D&D game, it is more than enough for the Players Handbook, iPad, dice, sketchbook and minis that I need as a player.For those with less nerdy needs for this bag, I imagine it could easily hold a change of clothes, some bathroom supplies, and some gadgets for an overnight stay, or would be an ideal carry-on bag for plane travel.There is only one con to this bag, and it's more a con to me than the bag. I am an overweight woman, and so the strap does not fit across my chest as it would a normal sized person. To hold it in place the strap actually cups one of my breasts and looks awful. So instead I sling it over just one shoulder and carry it that way. I've already lost 40 pounds and I am looking forward to loosing more so that when this bag does fit me as it should I can use it to go hiking and bring snacks, water, my phone, and my sketchbook so I can draw wherever the path takes me.The bag is sturdy, the materials are quality, it has tons of little compartments to keep all your stuff organized, and the design of the shape of the bag allows you to fit a lot more than one would expect without the bag appear to bulge and get all rounded and overstuffed. It holds its squarish shape when full.This bag is perfect and I may end up getting the larger one to be my new D&D bag, maybe in a different color.
I can say this is one of the best sling backpacks I've ever used

Having owned this for several months, I can say this is one of the best sling backpacks I've ever used.Pros:- Durable (mostly).- Strap is adjustable.- Lots of pockets.Cons:- Water bottle holder mesh tore from elastic on first use with a regular sized water bottle.Other thoughts:- Over time the strap has started to loosen up. Adjustments are needed daily vs. weekly.
Great!

Purchased this because my previous backpack wasn't working out anymore. I found myself needing to carry more things than what it could hold. So I needed something bigger; more spacious. This new backpack was exactly what I needed!I purchased the Large not just for more space, but also for the water bottle pocket. I could use the other side pocket for an umbrella if needed (as shown in the image I've provided).This is a great looking spacious backpack with many pockets. There's a total of 9 pockets with the Large; 8 with the Medium (Medium doesn't have the water bottle pocket). The flap & side pocket are the only two that are magnetic, & they're strong magnets.This is a great backpack, overall. Definitely better than my previous one. This is now my everyday backpack.
Have bag, will travel!

Sturdy material. Good zippers. So many pockets. Color is as pictured. Great for cross body, a little awkward for slinging over one shoulder.Mine currently holds: My wallet (women's), my kindle with case, four small notebooks and three pens, charger cord for kindle, sunglasses, multitool, small flashlight, pocket knife, travel hygiene kit: Nail clippers, travel toothbrush, chapstick, band aids, Neosporin.. And a walkie talkie with room to toss in a few extras. And I can strap a water bottle under the front flap. Note: The clips are not actually belt straps but instead very strong magnets.I take this everywhere and I have yet had to dig around for any of the above mentioned items, all neatly stored and kept in place.And I highly doubt anyone carries that much with them.This bag is great. My only complaint is that it is a little awkward to quickly sling over the shoulder. But alas it is a cross body bag and I do not use that function as intended.All in all: Excellent, absolutely excellent, especially for the price.
Impressed

Just got it today, 4/17/19, and Iâm impressed. Some of the reviews said a laptop couldnât fit and mine is a Lenovo 11â and it fits just enough with my folders, charger, mouse, iPad Pro and business cards. Material feels really good and I look forward to wearing/carrying this around.

I travel from the North West to London with my work at least 2-3 days per week and wanted a bag which would allow me to carry a 10" tablet, drinks and snacks together with my works laptop and note pads - leaving my travel case for clothes etc.I have a number of messenger bags but liked the look of this one and I wanted a bag which went diagonal across my back.This is ideal, and after a few weeks worth of travel I can't fault it. I have added a little lock for the main compartment but overall very pleased with the purchase.I would highly recommend.

Bought this for traveling, as a bag for taking on the plane and for carrying my laptop around. Is really durable, I can fit my Mac book Pro 13", charger, books etc, is even got side pockets for bottles, umbrella etc. Couple of nice smaller areas for easy access to phone etc. Good strap across the body which I prefer to a rucksack. Looks nice and had many people ask where I bought it from too!

Excellent bag. I wanted a little bag for when I take the puppy out for a walk to carry water bottles, disposable bags etc as well as my own items. Brilliant purchase. The quality is fantastic and is well made. The strap is sturdy and can handle what I carry. Definatly looking to purchase another soon in a different colour.

Great bag with space to fit a laptop. Good quality and easy to carry on the front when commuting across London. Lots of pockets, although I personally feel it looks a bit effeminate.

Lots of space and compartments, good quality and clever features. I could not have hoped for better, perfect size for small hand luggage for the new BA regulations.

Great good quality bag. Lots of pockets and easy to carry.The only thing I would say is that if you want something a little more lightweight this isn't for you.
