The reviewer experienced the strap slipping from an adjustment slide while carrying heavy gear for long periods, mainly on one side. The reviewer carried two hardcover books nearly a mile in the Notabag Crossbody without the slender strap digging into their shoulder. When unfolded, the Notabag Crossbody accommodates a 13-inch laptop inside a protective case, according to the reviewer’s testing.
The Notabag Crossbody has two deep interior pockets for organizing a wallet, phone, AirPods, and other small accessories inside. Its large metal key clip opens and closes easily, helping keep keys from falling to the bag’s bottom during use.
