Comments about Ortlieb Sling-It Messenger Bag - Large:

Overall, another fantastic product put out by Ortlieb. The bag has two zippered pockets (one of which carries my multi-tool, 4 spare tubes, a small repair kit and more), pen slots, two regular pouch pockets, and a padded central divider to make a handy spot for my netbook and my other stuff that I happen to be biking with at the moment. As a photographer, I depend on this bag to sometimes get my cameras and camera gear through some of the poorest weather Michigan has to offer, and it does so with a special stiff edge that is sewn inside the bag material that forces the mouth closed, making the bag super waterproof and rigid. The only downside is that the strap can sometimes get a little uncomfortable if you try to haul a lot of stuff in it (which Ortlieb tries to compensate with a strap pad). However when I mean a lot of stuff, I mean a week's worth of groceries.
