First thing to do with this sling…
"Every single zipper pull loop at the top of where the zipper zip up to needs to be reinforced with extra stitching. Either by yourself or somebody who is professional being a seamstress me personally I stitched it myself to reinforce everything because after reading all the reviews of this bag, I noticed that everybody was complaining about the security thing over the top of the zipper is falling off well because I saw that this bag was on sale at REI for half price. I went and bought one for about 45 bucks and yes all of the top things had fallen off so I got some black thread cause I got the black one and just stitched them back on and reinforced all the seams of the entire bag because in my opinion, this is one of the best sling bags ever made, and I am a man. It just happens to be a great sling bag. I’ve also modified mine to put an extra strap across my stomach to give extra security what I did as attached to carabiner through the little loop that goes under the security cable on the right side of the bag if you’re looking at it from the front and then got an REI backpack strap and just stitch a clip on stomach straps now it’s a perfect bag in my opinion plenty of spacious room. The RFID blocker actually works. I sewed an AirTag into mine so it’s also got tracking, but just overall it is in fact a/proof antitheft bag. It’s great for men and women in my opinion and if you’ve got the big part of the bag behind you as a sling bag, your water bottle being on the side that it’s on it perfect for you to be able to reach behind you without having to take the bag off to get the bottle out. It’s really great highly recommend this. Oh, and one more thing and the reason I say this is the perfect bag because I’m extremely picky about sling bags I’ve even tried to make my own. This is the first one I put on and it was immediately one of the most comfortable fitting bags I’ve ever worn. I am 53 pretty slim in this bag fits me absolutely perfect highly highly highly recommend if you can pay it for 100 bucks for it which is a normal price about 100 bucks. It’s a great price. I happen to get mine for less than that, but I would’ve gladly still paid $100 for this bag with the slight defects that the manufacturer cost obviously not the maker of the bag the manufacturer you know Shawty job but I will say the rest of the bag is perfectly. It’s just those weird little loops. It’s they’re in weird spots so I’m a little bit forgiving because I’ve worked in manufacturing and seeing how bags are made and things like this happen so as long as the overall main stitching and compartments and everything is strong and sturdy, it’s great the anti-/straps are in fact, anti-slash they’re super like doubled up thick. I think they use really strong stitching for the strap strength but again if you know how to sell, I definitely think you should sew around the entire edge of the bag just to reinforce it because this is definitely something you’re gonna want to keep for a long time."
