Tactical Sling Bag Pack

I spent a while looking at all the other bags similar to this that cost a lot more than this one, some are in the hundreds, but this was $26 and it is a great bag. I wanted a shoulder sling type bag, something a little smaller than a standard backpack but still big enough to carry a day's worth of stuff and this bag will handle all of that and more. The material is very good and strong and will keep the rain out if needed along with a quick Scotchguard treatment that should make it virtually waterproof/repellant. I didn't realize that there were two straps so if you did want to wear it like a backpack with two straps you could, but I took the left strap off and moved it from the over the should flap and attached it on the bottom D ring left side and now if I want I can strap it across my waist like a belt to keep it from moving around while I'm riding or walking. It would be great if this bag was improved by making the left strap a little longer so bigger people could use a waist strap also. The strap is long enough to go from the left side across my waist and it is comfortable, but I had to adjust it to be as long as possible and it fits comfortably but if someone has a larger waist it might be a tight fit. They could also add a snap clip on the left strap so it attaches easier across the waist. I counted 10 different pockets on the bag in addition to many other possible ways to attach items you might want to carry along. There is a good size pocket on the back that has velcro inside I guess is a spot to carry a conceled weapon if you need to, or at least that's what it said in the description. All in all, I am extremely happy with this bag and the price makes it so much better. Everything looks well made with quality looking material and good strong zippers, lots and lots of zippers. If you are trying to decide on a shoulder sling like this, save your money and buy this one instead of paying $30-$100+ for the same exact bag. 10 stars out of 5 rating from me.

Very good stitching. Nylon material is strong and it has pockets galore. Not as big as you would think so read the measurements carefully. it has a rear pocket in which i was able to place to books, both hardcover, small and medium sized with no issue. the other pockets are small but large enough for toiletries. It took me a few to figure out how to adjust the strap because its uncomfortable to wear over the shoulder. Once you find the sweet spot it is good and secure. Zippers held up well on my last airline trip. Rugged little bag with a ton of space and pockets, at least 6 if i recall.(Too lazy to get it and check it from where i stored it. It is now my primary personal carry for trips. Makes carry check through TSA easier. I usually do not travel with checked baggage. I am pleased with this one and it is well worth the money.

This bag is awesome. So many well thought out compartments and great quality! Every bit as good as 5.11’s quality without the price. They put a lot of thought into the pockets, latches and molle location. It’s just the perfect size for a Glock a few clips, and for work when I take my thermos, extra shoes and battery bank and other edc items. I’m never in need for another bag or small hard shell container for my edc items. This one bag will simplify, organize, and keep your goodies and or range items completely tucked away with easy access. If....! If.... there had to be any downfall it would be that the strap could be a little more ergonomically designed to be more contoured to your cheat or shoulder to feel absolutely secure. But It does include an arround the back to strap buckle that locks it down comfortably should you need both hands to move quickly or in always positions. So actually it has that minuscule gripe taken care of. That’s the only thing I could even try to find even remotely wrong. I never have written a review as no product has ever blown my expectations and “just” met my expectations. But I’m just upset I didn’t discover this bag ALOT sooner. It literally would’ve simplified the way I go about carrying all my crap and CCarry. I could’ve saved ALOT!! of money in the past as well. You wouldn’t be dissapointed at all for the money or design, gotta try it.

I have a good messenger bag I use for travel and business (see photos). I also have a good backpack for extended travel and my camera gear. But I wanted something that could give me me more flexibility when traveling. I decided on a single strap sling bag and spent a few days checking out bags on Amazon. After reading a lot of reviews and comparing specifications, I decided to go with the Gowara bag. The lower cost was one reason, but I liked the features. I wanted enough pockets to organize and store items so I could easily retrieve them. I had considered bags with bottle pockets, and this bag did not have one. But another reviewer pointed me to the solution - add a detachable bottle pocket. I loaded the bag with the same items, and a few more, that I carry in my messenger bag. I still have plenty of room to add other items as needed. This bag weighs less than my messenger bag. This bag gives me the ability to carry needed items in places where the messenger bag would not be suitable. In addition to the Gonex bottle holder on one side, I added a small pouch on the other side. It can be used for my phone and backup battery (or other small items such as snacks). I put a glasses case on the front of the strap so I can store or access my glasses while wearing the bag. I may get a pouch that can be attached to the lower outside pocket. So, the bag has a lot of ways it can be “modified” to meet different needs. Let me address a major negative, in my opinion. The dimensions are listed as 14” x 11.5” x 6.5”. I measured the width of the bag in several places, and the widest I could find was 10”, no where close to 11.5”. Maybe they measured the outside of the compression strap buckles, but the outside of the bag is only 10”. I consider misleading descriptions a major failure of the vendor. This cost them 5 stars even though I like the bag. I will note that the height is 14” and the depth is 6.5” as described. But the missing inch+ can affect what the bag can hold. The front pockets are about 8” wide. As to storage, I was able to put a letter sized pad of paper into the back inside pocket, but it was a tight fit, width wise. See missing width notes above. I could also put my 9.7” iPad and case in the pocket. I have a Lenovo laptop that measures 13” x 8.5”. I could fit it in the main compartment, but it was tight. If I need to carry the laptop, I will use my messenger bag. Otherwise, I was able to store all the items I wanted to carry. I still have not used the zippered pocket in the inside of the main compartment front cover. The other pockets and elastic bands keep my gear separated. I do use some plastic bags for small items. In one of the photos, you can see a small umbrella under the expansion band on the top outside pocket. While I would not carry the umbrella all the time, having a way to store it is a plus for the bag. There are two small pockets on the shoulder strap. I guess you could put an ID or card in the pocket although I would be wary. But it’s an example of the little touches in this bag. Durability and defects have been an issue for some buyers. I inspected the bag and found no problems initially. Of course, it needs to be used to fully determine how well it will hold up. The zippers work fine, but they seem “light,” not as sturdy as those on my messenger bag. A few people have mentioned body fit. I am 6’2” and weigh about 200 lbs. I put the bag over my left shoulder. The secondary strap would come around on my right side. I had to let the strap all the way out before I could buckle it. However, after checking the strap again, it looks like there could be a way to get more slack. But it fits me fine, also over the right shoulder as well. Of course, I need to actually carry it for some time and distance. I was wondering about the use for the Velcro loop at the bottom on the back. But one of the photos shows it holding the secondary strap out of the way if not used or needed. In summary, the sling bag can carry what I need on a regular basis, plus room for more. The MOLLE system makes it easy to expand and customize the bag. In spite of the measurement discrepancy, I believe this will be a useful and used bag for me. PS: I have no plans to cut off the “extra” buckles and straps as a couple of others have done. You never know when they might be needed.

Easy Small Man Bag. My husband loves the cross body style and uses it all the time, especially for quick trips including Diabetes go bag. He stuffs this thing like it's his military issued bag. Handy pocket in the back for his bible. Light weight enough for trips in the heat. Comfortable. Perfect. I would definitely buy this one again.

I purchased this bag back in July. I like to wait a few months to see how a product holds up before I review it. I purchased the backpack with the intention of turning it into my every day carry for College and life. When the bag first arrived it had a very strange smell, but it has mostly aired out and dissipated by now. Other than the smell, the first thing I noticed was just how spacious the bag actually was. I am able to fit a Microsoft surface pro 4 tablet, Bluetooth keyboard, lock picking set, calculator, novel, notebook (9/12 by 6"), sketchbook (10" by 7"), set of 3x5 notecards, playing cards, and two sets of polyhedral dice in the main pocket alone. The top pouch has multiple USBs, bandaids, medical tape, post it notes, and two small pocket notebooks. The bottom pouch contains my tablet charger, a portable microphone, a knife sharpener, and an assortment of pens and pencils. All of this together rests comfortably on my back one the strap is properly adjusted. The phone pocket on the strap fits my iphone 6, but is also a good emergency storage place for my pens, pencils, and badge. Don't forget they are there though, or they might break when you put the bag down. Sometimes I add the secondary strap for extra support and it forms an inverted Y. The reason I mention the shape is due to the fact when I originally bought the bag I thought it would have a waist strap that connected to the main diagonal one; similar to a Sam Browne belt design. The bag has held up so far to me slinging it around and dropping it to the ground. I have taken it to class, the park, and thrown it into the back of my car. I have accidentally snagged the straps, stepped on it, kicked it, and taken it through a rain shower. The bag has managed to survive all of this; even protecting my items somewhat from that last one. I will say that the back wall feels a little thin when pressed up against your back. If you do not have a long flat object resting against the inside back wall (like a tablet or notebook), you will feel the smaller items poke you. I do not know how they expect you to carry a gun in the open back pocket. I imagine it would be quite uncomfortable, as playing cards and dice boxes hurt my back. I was able to personalize my bag with some pins, but doing so is a little tricky, especially on the front pouch if you don't want them piercing all the way through. I placed mine on the straps meant for securing extra pouches. Speaking of, I did purchase a water bottle holder to secure to the bag. It has worked splendidly. I have not noticed any stress or tearing where the straps of the water bottle holder are interlaced with the side straps of the bag. Keep in mind the bag does not have a low profile, even when not stuffed to the brim, so squeezing through narrow passageways (or crowded hallways) might prove a little tricky. It is essentially a small rectangle on your back. All in all I love the bag. It's held up great and holds everything I have needed to carry. I have no idea when it will wear out (hopefully not anytime soon), but when it does I can definitely see myself purchasing a replacement.

Great little bag. Perfect size for the 11" iPad in the slightly padded inner sleeve and an 8.5"x11" sketchbook, also many other items like a hat, glasses, shirt, plus pens and pencils etc. Holds quite a lot in a little space. Bonus for side straps to cinch the bag for lighter, thinner loads so things don't flop around and a top handle for grab and go convenience. Small features like organization slots in the bottom compartment are handy for all your everyday items. Build quality has been great, no issues with seams or zippers. My only real issue with the bag, and this is just personal preference, is the size of the shoulder strap in relation to the bottom strap that attaches to the bag. They are drastically different in size. I would prefer a slightly tapered shoulder strap toward the bottom strap, or perhaps a slightly wider strap that attaches to the bottom of the bag.

I wanted a bag I could throw a camera and maybe one extra lens. I have the Canon 5D with battery grip, so the body is big. Lying on it's back the camera fits nicely in the bottom of the bag and a long telephoto as well. So for my primary need it's a good bag. The stitching seems well done, enough D rings to hook accessories to but beware all D rings and clasps are plastic not metal so it's durability is already compromised. Also as a sling bag I would have hoped the shoulder strap was designed as such with a natural bias that contoured the body as many sling bags do. This bag the shoulder sling is dead center, symmetrical and you can clip the bottom to either side of the bag. However the main, padded portion is so centered and thick it never really feels comfortable nor does it naturally hang like a sling bag should. It also lacks a water bottle spot, which frankly is a standard feature on almost all bags nowadays. So an adequate bag depending on your needs and preferences but a good enough price point to take a chance. So 3 stars for all the reasons mentioned. It shipped fast. It also came with a subdues American flag patch.

Ordered this sling bag and got a very low quality backpack instead , so disappointed

I recently purchased a backpack, and to say that I am deeply disappointed would be an understatement. Within less than a month of use, this supposedly durable backpack fell apart, leaving me frustrated and regretting my decision. First and foremost, the quality of this backpack is abysmal. The seams started unraveling after just a few days, and it only got worse from there. The stitching appeared flimsy and poorly done, unable to withstand even the slightest strain. It's evident that the manufacturer took shortcuts in terms of craftsmanship, resulting in a product that simply could not stand up to regular use.
