The reviewer cautions that awkwardly sized items in the zippered pocket can make carrying uncomfortable because the back panel lacks dense padding. The minimalist top handle provides a convenient carrying option when the reviewer uses the sling as a pouch or carries it briefly. The reviewer says the mesh-and-hole back panel promotes airflow and remains comfortable during active wear despite having limited padding.
The shoulder strap includes a long padded section that covers the shoulder and contributes to comfortable carry, according to the reviewer. The optional stabilizer strap keeps the sling from moving much during loose wear or activities such as cycling and jogging.
