I was looking for a small day pack for sightseeing. Enough to carry a light jacket, water bottle, sunscreen, battery pack, and other small essentials. I love the features of this bag. The sunglasses hook, the clasp around the strap so you can change sides or hook it around a chair, the charger port plug, the waterproof-ness, the somewhat hidden/not easily accessible pockets on the front. Perfect size for a small day bag for a small female. Was a little small for my dad's back and not sure if a men's jacket would fit inside while having room for other things unless it was really packable. It was almost perfect, however, I wish this company made the same bag except with two straps as a backpack. The nice thing about a sling bag is you can easily wear it on your front instead of your back so you can keep an eye and arm around it in busy areas like a metro, or you can easily pull it around to the front to access something in the bag. I thought I would like this, but the downside of a sling bag that I can't get past is it slides down and tends to swing around when you don't want it to. I decided to take this bag for a test run on a bike ride with just a few things in it: water bottle, car keys, phone, ear bud case. But as I was riding, the bag would falls towards my lower back then swing around to the front even with the strap tightened to the smallest setting. Perhaps it was the weight of the water bottle but this is something I would realistically carry so unfortunately that was too annoying for me. Even when I wasn't on a bike and tried it on with nothing in it, I didn't like how low it sat on my back. Now this could be obvious to some, and you might be reading this while saying well duh it's a sling bag what did you expect but for those who haven't tried one before, that was my hot take. I personally would prefer to have two straps to distribute the weight evenly as well so one shoulder isn't hurting and you don't have to constantly switch between shoulders. That's just my personal presence I discovered along the way. Anyway, if you can get past what I described above and don't mind sling bags, then this is a really nice bag and I'm bummed that it didn't work out for me because I really do like the features. Hope this helps.
