The reviewer says the strap keepers can snag clothing and bunch excess strap when the sling moves between front and back. The reviewer finds the strap's central quick-release buckle effective because it allows the sling to be removed without untangling it. The front pocket contains two subdivided mesh pockets, although the reviewer wishes they were taller because the opening sits relatively high.
