Waterfly Sling Bag Cross Body Bag Small Chest Bag Shoulder Backpack Single Strap Backpacks for Women and Men

After reading the reviews I ordered this Waterfly sling bag,in Grey,nice colour contrasting with the black detailing,,first impression is thats its a nice quality item.Really impressed with the amount of pockets and room this bag has too! Almost like Dr Who's Tardis!!The whole bag design has been carefully thought out..I especially like the idea of the pockets facing upwards when you swing the bag round,for easy accessI was a little concerned about pocket access ,being left handed,but a few customers answered my question on this (thank you)The amount of pockets is great,lots of room to carry all kinds of essentials .The padding around the back is very good, as is the large padded strap,making the bag very comfortable to wear.A quick release buckle is available to use if you dont want to slip the bag off over your head.There is a small zippered pocket on the strap,item for small items,other than a phoneI really like the idea of the zipped umbrella storage section and hidden pocket,other great idea!!The bottle pocket is a nice addition with a cord tie to secure the bottle too,but have to be aware not to swing the bag round too far otherwise the bottle will slip out!!I bought this bag as I am planning a day out in London with my sister and dont want a bulky rucksack,when walking about or getting on and off the public transportAnd in addition will be very handy for a quick trip into town too, without the need for a larger rucksackVery pleased with my purchase, I would recommend

Im going on a city break and think this will be so useful. I can wear it whilst travelling and wearing a backpack with my clothes in. Then it will be useful whilst walking around on the break. The lockers are good for storing things safely.

At this price, can't really fault this bag. Ideal for a day out and about in town. Loads of useful pockets:A slim front compartment designed to hold a portable music player or phone (it has a special rubberised hole to thread the headphones out of). Personally didn't use this much as have wireless earphones and not sure about security risks, but I can see this being used for a snacks etc.A mid compartment good for storing keys, wallet, maybe your phone, documents etc. Comes with slots for holding credit cards / business cards etc but can't see anyone using these.A main compartment that has a padded sleeve for holding a smallish laptop (I fitted my 13" dell). Note the laptop sleeve does not go to the bottom of the bag so you won't have to worry about it getting knocks from the bottom. Main compartment itself is large enough to accommodate a few books or 4-5 A4 sized pads. Useful also for a quick grocery run (milk, cans/jars of stuff, some veg etc) but a loaf of bread would be too fat to fit (though you could easily fit a couple of half sized baguettes). To my pleasant surprise, the main compartment itself is also padded at the back (laptop sleeve provides the padding) the front, and the bottom so I could store my mirrorless camera and have some peace of mind that it could survive bumps and knocks.A hidden compartment between the main compartment and back of the pack for valuables. A really great thought for a pack at this price point.Two drink holders, one at the side, the other at the bottom, both of which come with a piece of adjustable cord that you can use to secure longer bottles and prevent them from sliding out. Again another really great addition which you'd only expect to see in much more expensive specialist bags.Some nitpicky points of improvement, but not severe enough that would warrant deducting a star.1) I wish the zip to the main compartment would go down a tiny bit further to ease access when you pull the bag around to your side. For camera carriers such as myself, a zip that goes all the way down to the bottom and around a little would essentially serve the same function as those purpose built camera backpacks with side access - with the inherent advantage that the sling form factor is far better for ease/speed of access.2) zip pocket on the strap not big enough to accommodate most modern 6.x inch phones. Not really a problem as the better compartment to store phone and other valuables is the 'hidden' side pocket, or the mid compartment.3) I wish the sides of the main compartment were also padded.... I guess this wish only relevant if you are looking to store other sensitive electronics in there e.g. a camera!4) the second drink holder at bottom of bag is the wrong way round. When you pull it round your waist to access your stuff, anything stashed in the second holder is only accessible by sliding it out from /under/ the bag rather than straight up and out.

Thank you very much! Very Good quality backpack and comfortable to use

Good sturdy bag

I bought this as an experiment. It's ok actually.It is not too big and bulky, yet is big enough to use as a day bag on a trip alongside luggage or a duffel. I can put an IPad, some food, charger and cables, some emergency meds, a water bottle, etc in it without difficulty, and it is very comfortable and sleek on your back once you 'wear' it and start walking around.It's the 'wearing' or putting on that's awkward though - you have to get used to how you raise it over your head, or else unclip and then reclip the strap. The strap has to be tight against your chest and body for the weight to stay up against your back, which makes it a bit more awkward to put on or off.Well built and well designed.

Good product

Good bag but not happy with the strap
