The Pacsafe products are always outstanding in quality and functionality. I’ve purchased four items from the company and have not been disappointed. This 12L sling bag is the perfect size. Do yourself a favor and just buy it!

If Pacsafe made a smaller 8L - 10L version with at least 1 bottle pocket, then I'd get it immediately despite my issues with the 12L.
1. The switchable shoulder strap experience wasn't fully thought out. When you put the strap on your right shoulder and swing it to the front, the locked zippers for both compartments are awkwardly away from you. Pacsafe could have used their "self-locking zippers" instead so the zippers could be locked on either side. The current setup effectively makes it a left shoulder sling for me.
2. I'd like the tablet sleeve to be padded to protect my tablet from other items. I'd never use it for a water bladder (a leaky disaster waiting to happen) so I'm glad there are external water bottle pockets (a rare but very appreciated feature on slings).
3. I got the black version to be less noticeable so I'd like the turquoise zipper pulls and accents to also be black instead.
4. There could be more internal organization. It's mostly 2 big dump pockets so you dig for your stuff depending how much you're packing.
I know these issues are mostly known before buying but these are changes I'd like for the next version. Anyway, it's a decent backpack style sling with good theft deterrent features.
Sweet backpack. perfect for travel.
Great quality. Im going to get alot of use out of this.
If the zippers are locked and when using on your right shoulder, then you swing the bag to the front, the zippers are away from you. This makes accessing your stuff very inconvenient.
Pacsafe should have put more thought into the switchable shoulder strap idea.
