ecosmileMessenger Bag Sling Bag Crossbody Shoulder Bag for Men Women Travel Work Satchel Bags

This bag doesn't hold a lot - which is exactly what I wanted. I have other sling bags that have tons of capacity; I wanted a smaller one that's just large enough to hold my wallet/clutch, a pair of glasses, and whatever other bits and bobs I need to carry with me. There's a smaller outside pocket on the front, and then the larger pocket has a couple of smaller pockets inside it for organization. The strap is easy to switch sides, and I like that the strap does not have a pocket on it - those get bulky and annoy me. This bag isn't very deep, but again, that's what I wanted - something sleek.My only real complaint (and the reason I removed a star) is the smell. I've been letting it air out the past few days and it still has a strong chemical smell that's vaguely nauseous. I'm hoping it goes away so I can use this - right now I can't wear it because of the smell.

Not sure what they mean when they call the material oxford cloth - thought it was a nice cotton, but really feels more like traditional backpack polyester with a little texture. With the padding and polyester like lining, it definitely feels more like a technical backpack than organic styled aesthetic. The zippers are a little notchy and not super smooth - not a deal breaker, just not as easy to use as other packs. Functionally, the bag is good and wears securely. This may be the go to for short motorcycle trips - will hold your essentials, including short riding gloves, with ease and the sling pack style makes it easy to access while stopped if necessary. The red is a nice color - a little muted, but stands out from the traditional blacks and greys. This is a good piece of kit that leans towards the functional rather than the stylish.

The bag was thinner than expected. But it has durable zippers and multiple pockets. I like that it is water resistant.

This is not a back pack but as described a messenger bag. It does fit my iPad Mini and 10.2 iPad. It has many pockets and when you add a portable battery, can easily charge your devices. It can fit my point and shoot, but not my regular mirrorless cameras as it , like most messenger bags, does not have enough depth. I like the smaller size but it still has many sleeves and pockets. I like to pack compactly and this bag works well. The price is excellent too! It has a padded back for comfort and extra protection for your stash of items. The strap can be used on both sides depending on how you like your crossbody bag to lay. The bag is well made and versatile- a great choice of day trips or longer travel.

Rating: Solid Recommendation(rating guide at end of review)Pro's:Quality material and constructionLook is just boring enough to be used in professional environments without being too boringUSB passthrough worksLightweightWater resistantGood for tablets and a few accessoriesHas enough pockets to fit most needsBottom of shoulder strap can be changed to left or right side depending on wearers preferenceColors matched the product photosCon's:Sometimes a little boring is too boringCould use a pocket on the strapWife has been looking for a bag like this, specifically with the USB port, for our upcoming family vacation to a national theme park. She wanted something that we could carry a power bank or three, as well as a couple of bottles of water and maybe some essentials. While just a tad small for everything she wants, it actually is pretty perfect for our actual and real needs.One thing that is important to me is to have a separate security pocket somewhere on the bag. Usually this is a pocket on the very back of the bag that goes against your back. The security pocket here is in the main compartment and has a separate zipper to access it, which still works for putting things like my wallet into.My only criticism of this bag are really minor nitpicks. The construction and material are great and it's a simple bag that will do its job, and it will do it well.~Ratings Guide~Pass/Skip: Product failed to meet expectations, has major flaws or issues in its designSoft Recommendation: This product meets expectations with exceptions and/or under specific conditions.

While it's no substitute for a full backpack, this is a nice sized bag for when you're going to be out for a whole day and want to carry some essentials and snacks. It's well made and is setup so you can wear it on your chest or back with the strap going over either shoulder. I found I could just barely squeeze a 12" ipad pro into the thing, but I had to put it in the middle rather than one of the padded pockets, smaller tablets should fit in the padded pocket just fine.The bag is made of a water resistant fabric, how good that works I have no idea because in the San Francisco area we literally haven't had a proper downpour in years. The zippers, clips and other hardware all work smoothly and it has an external charging port. This lets you put a power bank in the bag and plug a phone or other device into it through the USB port on the outside. Nice if you need to charge up your phone while using it.Like I said, it is a rather small bag and will only be good for carrying smaller devices and things, no full-size cameras here. The appeal of the bag is that it's small and easy to wear, making it good for carrying small stuff back and forth to the office or for having something to carry a few essentials when you're out for a long walk. If you like the idea of having that sized bag, then this one is for you.
