Sling Chest Bags Shoulder Pack

I have gone through 7 sling bags trying to find one that works. THIS is it! I only had to alter a couple of things on this bag to make it work. It's smallish, it's strong, it has lots of pockets of a very useful size. There's room inside a velcro/zipper pouch for a small 9mm; there is room for a knife in the side zipper pocket, and I was able to install a neck knife on the strap near the bag with just two Chicago screws. There are a couple of graphic pieces that are a little weird, but they're not that bad. The strap, all the way extended, is the perfect length for me.

I couldn't be happier with this bag. It's the perfect size for what I needed. It's big enough to carry some essentials and small enough to carry comfortably. I wanted to replace my larger flight bag with something I could just grab and go with. Of course there's no room for a headset but I wanted this to be super portable with the option of even carrying it front-side while flying if necessary. The placement of the pockets and sleeves are very well thought out. I can get a lot of stuff in it without cramming things. Especially nice is the placement of the sleeve inside the main pocket that is the perfect size for an iPad mini that I use in the cockpit. The main pocket also has room for a full size pistol if using it for concealed carry. It seems to be very good quality for the price. They make several different styles and I got this one because the bottom is removable via a clip and the pocket placements seemed to make the most sense. My only complaint might be that the shoulder pad could extend down the strap a little further but other than that it's perfect. My wife liked it so much I got another one for her that she uses instead of a purse now.

I Purchased this backpack for a vacation to the Caribbean. Since this backpack offers the sling feature, it is perfect to walk around with while keeping everything secure. As pictured, the slang goes around your left shoulder. For me personally, I would prefer the other way around. There is no option or ability to switch it to the other shoulder since it curves a specific way. I mention security since tourists are known to get robbed or mugged while on vacations. What this bag does that a traditional backpack does not, is give you the ability to sling it across your body. This will make it much more difficult for somebody to pull the bag off of you and run. A traditional backpack can easily be pulled off of your body. The sling feature is great because you can either have it on your back, or wear it acrossed your chest where you can keep a better eye on it. It also gives you the ability to carabiner a water bottle on it, or any other item that you would find useful. There are plenty of pockets, allowing for plenty of room for your must-have’s on a day trip. My list of items that will fit and plan on having for my day trip: -Small GoPro case -iPod with earbuds -Journal or small book -Water bottle -tripod or selfie stick -Sunscreen -Sunglass case -Bandaids -snack -Passport -wallet -USB charging station -USB mini speaker Everything that I need will fit comfortably in this bag. It definitely beats bringing a heavy, oversized backpack that does not offer the same security that this does. On that note, if you’re wondering why I didn’t list my phone in this bag, it’s because it won’t fit. The opera pouch on this backpack is meant for carrying a phone. If you have an iPhone plus or a Samsung galaxy, forget about it. It is possible to fit an iPhone plus if your iPhone doesn’t have a case on it. That is why am substituting an iPod to fit in that pouch. You could very well have room to put it in another pouch. The only real bummer for me personally is that I won’t be able to bring my binoculars in this bag. They’re just too big. Small compact size wouldn’t be an issue for this at all.

UPDATE: I have now used this sling pack for 7 years and it still looks as good as new and has never had an issues with sewing, D Rings, zippers or more. The bag has travels ½ Million miles and gone through 40 nations and it still works as perfectly as it did the first time I used it. I highly recommend it. NICGID now makes a larger sling pack for 13", 14" and 15" laptop carrying but if you are looking for a great EDC sling pack, this is the perfect choice. I needed a protected crossbody sling pack for overseas travel and looked at many kinds that kept my hands free. This same brand makes one that is thinner (less than 1" thick) and that is just not useable at all if you want to carry anything. This one has great pockets, good zippers, a hidden pocket on the mesh side of the back and then a long zipper opening with pockets within pockets. It is a bit heavier (but durable) than the others, but it still weighs very little and holds an iPhone, a book, paperwork, wallet, glasses and more. It even has an expandable pouch for an umbrella or more. I love the design and the extra holes and d-rings for lashing the bag. For the basic uses, it is a great sling pack that can attach right or left. Love the full design and easy access to different pockets. LOVE IT!

Great pack, daily driver

My favorite bag. I use it everyday In response to one of the latest reviews I consider this a well-made bag good quality I do not agree with the other review I am very happy with this bag and it’s the perfect size. I have been happily using this bag for over a year and still going strong. If anything does break this company is good with sending a replacement ad they did with another bag they make. I like it has many pockets. I can fit at least three 16 oz water bottles inside and one on the side pocket. I like the looks and it has a lot of pockets. I wish the strap was easier to adjust It took me a while how to figure out how to make it so it doesn't hang low. I adjusted the strap now and it's in the right place. It's possible to adjust it if you try to figure it out. Also the strap is ok as far as padding but it could be better, but it's pretty good. I recommend this bag. It’s the perfect side not too big and not too small. Actually I can fit two 18oz bottles in there. There is a size water pocket too. It’s a good looking bad and someone at the market asked me where I bought it.

I ordered the army green version. The bag is nice, but the straps don’t match the product images. Instead of being the same color as the bag they are a sort of shiny gold tan color. Definitely not what I wanted. Will be returning it for the black one.

This Sling Chest Bag/Backpack works perfectly. I bought it to go out of the country where I had a lot of walking to do in big crowds. I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a “Man Bag” but I’m so happy I did. First off Toxic Masculinity is real! This is from what I have seen and know primarily an to be an American thing. So me being an American felt like I didn’t want to wear a man bag but it saved me on my vacation from being pickpocketed. Plus everywhere else in the world they are worn daily. This thing has all the pockets you need. On top of that this bag held two pairs of linen pants. It even holds a bottled water. You can wear it on your back as well if you’re not in an overly crowded area. It fits perfectly and adjusts very easily. The zippers are super sturdy and durable and it also has two places to put a carabiner. I used them to connect my sunglasses to while walking in and out of stores in a market area. I added my passport to the inside, my AirPods in the top pocket which could easily hold more things. Even when you have a lot in it the bag doesn’t feel too heavy. It is very easy to adjust to fit any body size and feels stable while wearing on your chest or back. It also looks really cool in either position. My only complaint is that much like one of other reviews mentioned the strap could use some sort of band or clip to keep it from hanging or flopping around. I fixed this by threading it back through over the top front so it hangs pointed down shown in the last picture as an example.

The bag I received is well-designed, with multiple compartments and inner pockets. It’s well-crafted, from durably dense nylon, with strong plastic zippers and excellent stitch work. I read a few reviews expressing disappointment with zipper failure, but chose the black sling bag with a flap (rather than exposed zipper) over the lower front compartment, which was my design preference. Every zipper on my bag works perfectly. I am, for those reasons and more, really pleased with my choice. First, the bag is ergonomically perfect for my needs, and can be worn in several ways, easily enabling me to switch from one to another with ease, at my discretion. I wear the strap on my right shoulder and sling the middle of the bag beneath my left arm, sliding it forward when I need something from it; for example, I keep my Sonim cell in the upper zippered pocket. This bag is also discrete, with a minimal profile, and can easily be worn beneath my windbreaker. It’s light and comfortable; I know it’s there, but I don’t have to worry about it or fuss with it. It’s a delight. Precisely what I wanted.

Bietet alles was ein Slingbag braucht. Viele Taschen. Die Größe gerade so das man nicht das Gefühl hat man trägt einen Rucksack. Man kann ihn überall mitnehmen.

Mochila bandolera excelente material lo recomiendo me adurado mucho

Me gusta, la utilizó cada vez que viajó por los pueblitos de México a pasear, tiene los espacios necesarios para todo lo que necesito.
