I purchased this bag along with other items during the Kickstarter campaign and could not be happier with its utility and hardiness. I just completed a 5 month journey, mostly overland from Turkey to China, and this bag rarely left my side. It was great for an everyday carry and I found that I preferred it over a small backpack for day hikes in the mountains. It holds, well, a lot. On a regular basis I carried a phone, my journal, a Kindle, my Sony RX100, a second small notebook, Bose headphones, and a small portable charger along with a number of small items such as lip balm, tissues, etc.. Additionally, the material held up very well and I love the bungie straps on the bottom where I routinely kept a rain coat, second layer, or a water bottle. For air journeys it is all I kept out of the overhead as it held everything I needed to keep me occupied during the flight.
I did not have any issues with the buckle throughout this time. The only thing I would like to see improved is to have the small pockets inside have some elastic at the top to help hold items in these spaces. Otherwise, looking forward to using again on my next adventure. Great bag and super useful.
I bought this bag about 1 month ago while visiting their Venice California location. Great color. Really thoughtful design and features. A great every day crossbody. Would buy again. Likely will buy the other colors as well to give me more styling options.
This bag would otherwise be a great unstructured sling that molds to your body when worn if not for the easy release clip. It is TOO easy to release and the bag immediately falls to the ground. If you have anything fragile in the bag it will likely be broken as the bag does not have a lot of cushion or padding (which would be fine if there wasn’t this risk of dropping the bag on the floor with normal use). Just a slight touch of the clip when adjusting the bag on your shoulder will cause it to come undone. Huge design flaw not seen in any other competitor slings I have in this category (eg Bellroy, Aer, tonic etc).
Bought this a month ago to lug around my camera and it is not padded or safe enough to protect your camera. It’s good quality but definitely more so for travel than for your camera’s protection.
Very nice Sling with two flaws regarding the Strap. 1st I'd like the closing mechanism to be reversed. I mean that if i undo it with one hand, I'd hold the short part of the strap. 2nd After it got in contact with the hook side of a velcro strap, it started fraying and is now a bit unsightly. Other than those two things im Very happy with the quality and design of this sling, and i hope itll serve me well for quite some time.
The bag material is lightweight and moves to match the contents - billowing to accommodate more content or deflating to a thin body hugging bag. The magnet on the back could be a touch stronger and be incorporated so that the internal pockets pull toward and hug the “back wall” of the bag. Only other item of note is try embracing exterior bright color accents such as zipper pulls or the product initials on the bag exterior.
