The reviewer says the tall, narrow main compartment can be difficult to use efficiently because shorter items often need stacking. The included compression straps can compress the sling or carry an umbrella, travel tripod, or water bottle, according to the reviewer. The reviewer finds the semi-hidden back pocket useful for carrying sensitive travel items such as passports or travel documents.
The reviewer reports that the back panel remains comfortable despite minimal padding, although its materials are not breathable and can feel hot in sunlight. The reviewer considers the sling slightly larger than expected for a five-liter bag when compared with other slings on the market.
