This sling goes a little beyond just a pocket dump. It's perfect as a personal carry-on bag at the airport or when going to sporting events. I was able to fit a decent sized book, an 18 oz water bottle 9 in (23 cm) tall, and my iPhone, keys, and wallet. It also could have held my passport and a few EDC items like a pen and pocket knife. Anything more than that, and I would consider going with the Kadet.

The internal organization pockets are kind of a pain to access, especially if you have stuff stored in that pocket. I used the outer pocket for my phone, wallet, and keys because it was much easier to access them when I swung the pack from my back to my front.

Against bare skin or while wearing a T-shirt, the strap became uncomfortable. While over my hoodie, it was fine. Just don't make it too heavy.

They style is awesome. It looks really cool.
