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.

I really like the quality of the backback, the pictures really don't do the pack justice. I had foot surgery and needed something a little smaller to carry on my back. I am 6'2" and this is the perfect size triangle. It's not too small or too big. It's very light too. I like the padding on the backside and the tablet pouch. One of the reasons I bought this is so I can carry my tablet with me to my doctors visits. The water bottle mesh holder is a nice little addition. I researched a whole bunch of these little things and I liked the company too. They responded quickly to a message I sent them. I kind of wish it had a mesh organizer inside or something like that, but I bought a small electronics organizer that will make this pack even nicer. It has two large zippers to put stuff in and then this small little zippered pouch up near the top side to throw something small in like flash drives or ear phones or something.

I really liked the concept of this bag. Light, small and great for fishing, hiking, day tripping.The first bag I bought, the zipper broke the second time I used it. RiteTrak sent me a new one along with an email stating that they would get me one of the "newer" bags with the re-inforced zippers because many people were running into the same issue.A month later my new backpack showed up. It was exactly the same. The first time I took it out fishing in a kayak...zipper broke again.If you have a good seamstress and you buy this bag, I would immediately take it to that individual and put new a new zipper with decent teeth on it. Get what you pay for. Save your money or spend more for quality.
