The sling has one compartment without a zippered closure, and the reviewer says opening requires pulling up the top flap. Across three all-day outings, the reviewer says the strap stayed comfortable and the sling switched easily between front and back carrying. The small front zippered pocket keeps keys, SD cards, and other small items from bouncing around the main compartment.
A short key leash sits inside the sling, keeping keys accessible while avoiding interference with the rest of the packed gear. The padded rear-wall sleeve protects a phone or small book somewhat, while two mesh pockets hold compact items such as a wallet or earbuds.
