Awesome
This is the best sling bag ever I bought. Good quality in everything material, design and safety.

I only wish that this bag were ever so slightly smaller, because it's a bit big for me when wearing at the front of my body. It is well constructed and it doesn't have those silly self-locking zippers that make it very difficult to access the contents of your bag. I like the fact that it has a main compartment with a few pockets to organize your belongings, including a pocket for a small laptop (I do mean small!) or a tablet. It has a smaller front pocket where you can store items that you need to access in a hurry, such as your mobile phone. Unless you don't take care of it, it does feel in the way that it is constructed that it will give you many years of use. Highly recommended!

For context, I used a Travelon sling bag daily (more on that later) which after 7 years of service needed to be retired. I bought this one based on a review from Yellow Productions which is a small YouTube channel I am not affiliated with.
Pros - the bag is flat in profile instead of bulgy, even when carrying a couple of 1 liter bottles in the main compartment. It comfortably fits an Ipad mini, a book, a large water bottle, a popular modern handheld gaming console with its case, a light sweater, and my wallet. Easy to take on and off with some practice and easy to store during travel or at theme parks. Also easy to wear and access the pockets while wearing it. This thing is sturdy, feels premium, and the security features have no compromises.
Cons - the strap length is short. I’m a shorter than average person with broad shoulders and basically had to loosen the strap all the way. Anyone with broad or otherwise larger chest may not find this bag comfortable. The bag is specifically designed to be worn on the right shoulder, where I find sling bags more comfortable on my left - something that my previous bag from a different brand had an advantage because there was a secure attachment for either right or left shoulder carry. The competitor’s bag currently misses some security features yet is priced a bit more modestly in the $40 range. This bag is…
