RiteTrak Sports Sling Backpack-Lightweight Multi-Use Pack One Strap Shoulder or Crossbody Bag Small-Medium

Excellent quality, and materials used in this bag. It feels like a heavy canvas material. It looks and feels nice and also sturdy.It is a basic design, not little pockets everywhere, but a few. Just generous roominess for putting things in if you don't want your hands full of small stuff.Perfect size for me. Most of the sling packs I've seen with this design have not been big enough. This one is good.I use for trips on the bus when I would, perhaps overload my pockets with junk. Maybe carry a small thermos, an umbrella, wallet, book, SMALL water bottle and a some other stuff. I actually use the mesh pocket for bus pass and credit card I will be using. Mesh pocket would also hold glasses case or a small water bottle. A big bottle would need to go inside.Strap padding is great and the edge sewing is such that there is no annoying flat edges showing to irritate your neck.I found a sweet, small surprise of a small clip near the outside top of the bag to attach keys to so no digging when you get home for keys.Know that this isn't a book or computer bag for college or high school students daily use. It's a little smaller than that, unless you don't need to carry all that stuff with you. You can certainly get a mid-size or smaller tablet in it or the book you are going to read when you are out, but it doesn't have padded pockets for electronics that a larger bag would have. Students might use it for shorter trips when going out to goof off and didn't need all you stuff you carry to classes.The back is padded, and there is a small pocket on the edge for a modest size smart phone which is lined with a soft lining. (but not padded.) I keep a Samsung Galaxy J7 phone in it. (3-1/4 X 6-1/4 inches.)Really happy with it and with the very reasonable price.SteveP.S. The orange seat cushion shown in the picture deflates to a smaller size and can be folded or rolled to fit bag.

9 May 2019 Update:The seller responded to my post and offered to replace the bag, which was much appreciated. I have to give kudos to their customer support since they replaced the bag even though I purchased it 13 months ago. I upgraded their star rating to 4 from 2 given that they clearly stand behind their product.Original Review:I want to start out saying that I used this for a month long overseas trip and bought this bag well in advance of using it. I used the bag for my day trips to carry my compact camera, battery charger, and miscellaneous cables. The bag served me well as the size was right for carrying all that stuff and it was compact enough that I could swing the bag to my front on crowded trains.One problem is with the water bottle pocket. I put a normal sized commercial water bottle in the pocket and set the pack down. The bottle popped out of the pocket. The elastic around the pocket wasn't sufficient to hold the bottle in. So I went without carrying a water bottle with me.The biggest problem with the bag is with the main buckle on the over-shoulder strap. The buckle sticks and you have to force it to open. It seems there's just enough play in the buckle to jam it together and I don't think I over-loaded the bag (making it too heavy). There were many times when I needed to unbuckle the strap and the buckle stuck, and I was unable to undo it without using more force than normal to open it. There were a few times when I thought that I would break the buckle (it's a composite plastic) as I opened it. I could not count on being able to open the buckle at will.While I liked using the bag, the buckle jamming is a reason for not recommending buying this bag. I'll be looking to buy another bag and since I bought this bag months ago, I can't return it.

The media could not be loaded. TRIP SAVER!!! I bought the sling backpack for a trip to the beach to Florida. Never leave anything on the beach you don't want stolen. I need both hands free to make wrangle my 3-year-old, AND quick access to my iPhone to take those adorable pictures, AND a safe place to keep my iPhone AND something large enough to keep my fairly large travel wallet AND easy access to a water bottle. This sling backpack is a 5 star plus for all those things. BUT the real trip-saving experience of the sling-pack was completely unexpected. As a single Mom with a very active 3-year-old, I have too many bags/luggage and not enough hands (nor memory apparently). After unloading my daughter from the airport parking shuttle and securing her safely in her car seat, gathering the huge duffle bag, her cute pink duffle bag and my rolling carry-on, I completely FORGOT my purse in the shuttle. By pure luck, I realized I forgot it as the shuttle was pulling away and I stopped him JUST in the knick of time. I immediately retired my designer purse and have used the sling backpack because I never have to set it down...it just stays with me, slung across my chest and I have use of both hands. EVERY Mom and Dad of a toddler/preschooler needs one of these! The quality of this pack is excellent, the seams and zippers are strong. I love the special pocket for my phone, it's easy to access, the screen is protected with the soft shammy material, and the zipper keeps it securely in the special pocket. I just wish I would have purchased this sling-backpack years ago.

Zipper broke first day of use!! We had to throw it away since we were on our trip in Tokyo and had no desire carrying useless bag!Update: We have been contacted by RiteTrack Sports and offered a replacement or full refund. Great customer support.
