KP Sling Shoulder Backpack Sling Bag Water Resistant Multipurpose CrossBody Bag

This bag is incredible. I am a very picky person when it comes to user experiences and I can see that they really spent a lot of time thinking about how sling bags are used. I'll elaborate on the stuff that wasn't clear in the advertisement that became clear after buying:1) The top pocket has segmented mesh sections across it's length. 1 primary mesh section in the middle sized perfectly to fit a full wallet. and 2 smaller mesh sections to hold down other misc. small items. This mesh ensures that your contents don't shift as you move around, and don't spill out when you've got the pocket opened. This is important since the top pocket is the pocket that's furthest from the body that is the most prone to shifting when you jog/run.2) The top pocket also has a sub-pocket with a velcro strap to close it, it's further storage for larger items that don't fit in the mesh area, but the strap still effectively keeps those larger items from falling out.3) The Middle pocket is a large padded area, probably where you'd want to store your largest items, this is the pocket they decided to pad, because the top and bottom pockets already function as buffer areas.4) The Bottom pocket contains the "hidden" pocket, it's sized to fit a passport's length x width, but is roughly able to take the depth of a phone if you wanted to put one there, but because access to it is hidden, you probably wouldn't want to put anything in there you'd be taking out regularly.5) The bag can be worn on either side, however, the bag is not symmetrical, so wearing it on your left will result in the bag being slung in a relatively vertical angle than wearing it on your right which results in a more horizontal angle. Both positions sit on the body comfortably, and in both positions this bag is very good at not bouncing around (at least not compared to my previous Coach sling bag). If you want, the product contains an optional waist strap and if you slap that on, this bag can sit very snug on your back, allowing you to sprint and you wouldn't get any bouncing issues.6) The connector hardware is all metal. My last sling bag lasted for years without showing signs of wear, but used a plastic buckle and of course once that went, the bag was useless since I couldn't keep the strap closed anymore. That's not going to be an issue with this bag since it doesn't use any buckles and instead uses metal clips. They're sized appropriately for the latch points, which again, limits the amount of shifting as I move, which I appreciate. There's still enough space left to put another carabiner clip on the same latch point though, which I make use of to carry a 48oz water nalgene bottle (the bag wears the weight pretty comfortably, though I'm certainly not doing any running while I've got that giant bottle hanging there). Another thing I noticed is that inside the metal latchpoints at the bottom, they inserted an inner ring made of rubber, this is put there so that you don't get metal-on-metal clacking sounds as you move around. They REALLY thought this stuff through!7) The adjustable slides to change the length of the main strap and the waist strap have a very smooth action. My last slingbag had a very tight concaved adjustable slide that would maintain the same strap length VERY securely...but it also made it a real PITA to actually adjust, and requires two hands. This was especially a problem during fall/winter, since I'd have to widen the strap to accomodate a jacket/parka, and then shorten when the jacket/parka is off. However, this KP Sling bag's adjustable slides are secure enough that I've never had it change length when I didn't want it to, even when hanging heavy water bottles, but the adjustable slides also adjust smoothly in a one-handed motion I can do without having to even look at it.So those are all the good things I nothing about this bag that were not immediately obvious from the product page and promotional videos. It's pretty clear that this bag was designed from someone who went through a lot of bags and spent a lot of time thinking about all the little ways it could be made better. However, here's the bad stuff I noticed:1) This bag is meant to be worn on your right shoulder. Thus, when you swing the bag in front of your body, the top, middle, and bottom pockets will face up at you for easy access. When you wear this bag on your left shoulder, swinging the bag in front of your both will point all 3 pockets towards the ground instead. You will probably want to take the bag off to get at it's contents if you're wearing it on your left shoulder.2) No handle strap at the top. I liked being able to pick up my previous bag from the top, and also use the handle strap to hang the bag high on a hook. Not a big deal really, since you can still just grab the main strap for the same purposes, but the bag won't sit as high up on a hook.3) The PU leather-like material on the bottom feels incredibly smooth and feels comforting to the touch. but it's only 1 small patch on the bottom. All the rest of the bag is a really thick-woven Nylon that's strong as hell, but not very smooth to the touch. Not rough like it'd catch on loose fiber clothes or anything, just not a pleasing feel, especially when contrasted against the patch on the bottom which feels great.4) This isn't really a negative observation, but this is a small and very light bag for on-the-go use. Though it's organization allows you to fit a surprisingly large amount of small items, the dimensions won't fit regular-size tablets (though it'll probably accept "mini" tablets). If you need to be carrying full-size tablets or laptops around with you everyday, this bag isn't what you're looking for. But so long as you're not carrying full-size tablets or laptops around with you, this bag is pretty much as good as it gets.Overall, this is an amazingly well-thought out bag. They designed all these factors into the bag so that it'll just feel good and you don't even have to think about why it feels so much better than other bags. This bag isn't exactly cheap, Amazon's got dozens of bags for $13-20 bucks out there, whereas I bought this bag for $69 in Black. That said, this bag is still much cheaper than the many $130-$200 sling bags out there, and I think because of the thought they put into the design of this bag, it'd be hard for both the cheap bags and the expensive bags to stand up against this KP bag in terms of practical use.

I travel fairly often for sightseeing and leisure. I also take a lot of photographs with a small 4/3 mirrorless camera, but I don't like looking like a tourist with a camera slung around my neck or over my shoulder. I'd been looking for a small messenger bag or shoulder sling, but everything I'd seen was either too big, didn't look sturdy enough, or had too many hooks, loops or flaps. I wanted something nondescript and simple. Then, while watching a travel video on YouTube, I spotted the KP Sling and thought "That's just what I'm looking for!"It has turned out to be the perfect solution for me. It's compact but easily holds my camera, a small Joby tripod, my phone, snacks, and any other incidentals that I might need while touring around during the day. It's also weather-proof, very sturdily made, and can be flattened to pack away in my suitcase when I'm not using it. When I am using it, it rides discreetly in the small of my back, but can easily be swung around to my front providing easy and quick access to my camera, or allowing me to keep it secure in crowded situations. I find the KP Sling to be outstanding in nearly every respect!

This is a very well designed and quality Sling. Very shar looking and lots of attention to detail was made when they designed it. Highly recommend it.It's peefecr for my needs which is carry my EDC when I'm running around in shorts or sweatpants that don't have big pockets. Also great for those romantic walks on the beach and park with that special someone that now wants ice cream or water or god knows something else and you being the man of all men has her covered. Cause that's what we do. We get it done.This is the bag to get it done and look sassy doing it.All jokes aside, many compartments, water proof and perfect size. Very impressed.Will pick one up for my better half very soon.

You can pack a lot of belongings in this versatile bag. Great for taking on trips when your walking around sight seeing. Very durable/well made - highly recommend.

Liked it not to big nor to small just a perfect for my daily urban use, highly recommended .

Perfect size for EDC. I have this with me everywhere. I keep my Nexus 7, a couple of flash drives, battery pack and a few other odds and ends.The lined middle pocket is a great place for electronic. I would buy again!

This bag is beyond amazing, very comfortable and hold a lot of stuff. This is a must buy.

Perfect pack for keeping things out of your pockets, lots of room but not a huge bag
