The closed-loop strap adjusts without dangling, although the reviewer finds changing its length easier when the sling is off-body. The magnetic buckle opens easily with two hands and lets users remove the sling without pulling it over their heads. A zippered rear pocket secures smaller items, includes a key leash, and uses an AquaGuard zipper for rain protection.
Two large stretchy mesh pockets hold battery banks and cords securely, though smaller items can be harder to locate inside them. The reviewer reports a very large footprint, especially on smaller frames, while the rugged materials remain noticeably stiff.
