OutdoorMaster Sling Bag, Hiking Daypack, Crossbody Shoulder Chest Urban Outdoor Travel Backpack for Women & Men

I was preparing for a trip overseas and needed a new bag. I checked out a number of different sling bags before settling on this one. It ended up being an excellent choice. I really like traveling light so wanted something relatively small and slim (but also with a practical amount of space) as my "personal item" for airplane travel. I also was looking specifically for something that fit my computer (Macbook Air 11.6") but didn't overdo it (again, I like to travel light and have an intentionally compact computer because of that. Most computer bags are just overkill for a Macbook Air). This bag was perfect! You can stuff quite a bit into it if you want to, but even with a decent amount in tow it keeps a slim profile. It is just the right size for the Macbook Air 11.6". In the main/largest compartment there is a pocket with an elastic top that is the full width and about half the length of the bag. The Macbook fits in their perfectly and is just the right length for the bag to be able to zip (if the bag was a little shorter or the taper a little narrower, it wouldn't fit, so anything bigger than the 11.6" Air would be a no go. My guess is that the new 12" Macbook would fit too though I haven't tried it). The different compartments and pockets are great. In the main area it is just one big space with the pocket I mentioned. This pocket I use for the computer is not padded and only covers about half the macbook, so you might need to be careful about what else you put in there with a computer. The back of the bag (between the computer and your back) is lightly padded, so that's good. The middle compartment also has ample space and includes some smaller pockets for things like pens, phone, iPod, etc. The third/exterior compartment is small and perfect for smaller odds and ends that you want to be able to grab quickly (I kept things like headphones, chapstick, etc in there). In addition there is a mesh pocket on the side as you can see in the pictures where you can keep a water bottle or umbrella. I used it for a water bottle and it was very handy. There's a drawstring on it to tighten if needed. There's also a small pocket on the strap that goes across your chest. I don't know if it's intended for a phone, but I have an iPhone 6 and it wasn't even close to fitting. This is a small inconspicuous pocket basically in the seam of the strap, so I found it perfect for keeping cash, credit card, etc. There's also a loop to hang your sunglasses from on the front of the strap (surprisingly useful). The key feature of this bag for me though was the hidden pocket in the back. You can kind of get a look at it in one of the pictures. Basically there is a pocket built into the back panel of the bag, accessed by a zipper along the side seam (opposite side from the mess pocket). When you're wearing the bag, the pocket is unnoticeable and pretty unaccessible (unless you're really not paying attention and someone is a very skilled pickpocket). The size of the pocket is great for passports, checkbooks, cash, etc. , even a thin smartphone worked well in there (flat stuff works well in this pocket since it's in the back panel. you wouldn't want to stick anything thick or bulky in there as it would probably make the bag sit awkwardly on your back). For airport travel this was perfect because you could stow passport, boarding passes, etc. in here and then if you have it strapped over your right shoulder (the strap is swappable between left and right), you can easily and quickly rotate the bag around under your left arm to your chest and you're then looking directly down onto this hidden side pocket. Honestly, this was sheer perfection. This pocket made this bag awesome for airport travel. In addition, the clip to disconnect the strap was great as it allowed removing the bag quickly when pulling it up over my head would have been inconvenient. It was awesome for air travel and then throughout my trip with several daylong tourist excursions, it made an excellent day bag. Very satisfied with this bag. I don't really ever write reviews for things, but I'm doing it because this bag is just that great.

This is a very comfortable bag to carry, whether slung over your back or hung at the front of your body to provide security. Despite some misgivings prior to ordering caused by some reviewers' comments that it doesn't easily handle an Ipad, I found that the elasticated pouch inside the main compartment nicely fits my iPad 2018. It even works nicely when the iPad is inside its Earto keyboard case, which takes the overall dimensions to 195 mm wide, 245 mm long, and 24 mm deep (the Earto keyboard case is well worth the extra 504 grams of extra weight when carrying the iPad around, given that it provides a good quality backlit keyboard as well as a robust stand). As well as my iPad, it also easily takes an iPad mouse, car keys, iPhone, 4g mifi modem, compact camera, camera card reader, wallet, credit cards, wipe clean scribbling pad and pens, folding shopping bag, Swiss army knife, tissues, tooth picks, hand cleanser, drinks bottle, Taotronics NR headphones, watch charger, and pens - in fact, everything you could need for a long day out. I can even handle my wife's iPad and Bluetooth keyboard when she doesn't feel like carrying it. The only cons for me were 1) the phone pouch is a bit of a joke (I still like using a phone where I can reach everything on the numeric keypad with my thumb so I need something about half the size of most modern phones, and the pouch can't even accommodate that) 2) I could have done with some more internal divisions (things tend to tumble around when it starts getting full) 3) when my wife's iPad is in there as well as my own, my Lumix FZ82 bridge camera won't fit in - take the extra iPad out, and the bridge camera fits in just fine. None of these are major hardships, and are more than offset by the fact that all my stuff can be easily handled by a bag that weighs only 457 grams when unladen. Even better, when fully laden, the padded strap makes carrying the 4.8 kg loaded weight very easily doable. All in all, the bag is strongly recommended.

Excellent

I bought this rucksack for th e specific reason that I have just had serious knee surgery and will be on crutches for a while and wanted to keep any carried weight off my left side. The sack is well constructed, substantial padded and comfortable strap which can be altered for use to the left or right, so ideal for my purpose. It has a large main pocket with a divider pocket, then smaller pocket with organiser pockets inside, a smaller front pocketwhich will hold a large phone easily, and a zipped pocket for security on the back, accessed via a zip on left of rucksack, which will hold a wallet, keys and large phone (mine is galaxy j5 and it swallows it easily). A small strap pocket for change maybe, and a water bottle holder on right side complete the bag. For my needs it can be fitted snuggly so there is zero movement and it does not swing round and prevent me using crutches properly, but can stll be pulled round for me to access al the pockets instead of removing it over the head or by the quick release buckle on the strap. It feels rugged, will hold quite a bit and looks well made, zips aregood quality and stitching looks strong. I am really, really pleased with this item and am sure it will be a godsend while on crutches, but will be just as good after, great rucksack by any stretch of the imagination. Well worth the money and the seaching to find just what I needed. ☺

Aufgrund einer verletzten Schulter kann ich meine Taschen und Rücksäcke für längere Zeit nicht nutzen und brauchte dringend eine praktischen Alltagstasche mit gutem Sitz und Gurt auf der rechten Seite. Klar, das hier eigentlich nur ein Triangel-Rucksack in Frage kommt. Für mich waren vor allem drei Punkte wichtig: 1. Rucksack sowohl über rechte als auch linke Schulter tragbar 2. A4 passt ins Hauptfach 3. mindestens drei Fächer Diese Sling Bag erfüllt nicht nur diese 3 Punkte, sie ist in jeder Hinsicht PERFEKT! Die Angaben in der Produktbeschreibung stimmen absolut. Das Geheimfach ist wirklich perfekt für das Portemonaie geeignet: nahezu unsichtbar und trotz Lage gut zugreifbar. Was mich völlig überrascht hat und auf den Produktbildern nicht zu sehen ist: die beiden großen Fächer verfügen über zusätzliche Steckfächer, in die man super Stifte, Handy und sonstigen Kleinkram sortieren kann. Toll! :) Zur Qualität: ich hatte aufgrund des Preises etwas Sorge, dass das Material des Rucksacks eher billig und minderwertig ist. Genau das Gegenteil ist der Fall! Material und Verarbeitung sind absolut hochwertig. Ich kann nur sagen: ich bin über alle Maßen begeistert!!! In Anbetracht der Qualität ein ECHTES Schnäppchen! Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits, denn solch ein Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis ist nur sehr, sehr selten zu finden!
