Comments about Victorinox Teardrop Monosling Bag:

Alright, let's start off by saying DO NOT buy this bag UNLESS you need a SMALL bag to carry around personal items. I can't stress that enough. This bag is a lot smaller than it looks. Think of this as a "Fanny Pack" for your back. That being said, let's look at the rest of the bag.

I decided to give this bag a try because it looked lonely, seeing as it had no reviews and seemed practical enough to carry. Honestly, I have mixed emotions about this bag. Let's start off by looking at the specifications of the bag:

2+ Main Compartments: I'm not sure where the "+" comes into play, unless they're counting the "Cell Phone" pouch, or there are hidden pockets in the bag I'm not aware of. There are two compartments, and to my knowledge, that's it. The main compartment is decently sized, although a game of Tetris is required, with your items, to carry a good amount in said compartment. The description is a bit off, considering they suggest carrying a jacket in this thing. It would have to be a really, REALLY small jacket, to say the least. The second compartment is a little undersized, as well, although it would suffice in carrying I.D.'s and paperwork.

If you're using this bag for anything else, other than traveling (Like a day bag, or something of the sort), consider another bag. That is, of course, unless you need a compact bag.

Durability: I think this category gives the bag it's three star rating. This bag is tough and that can't be denied. The material on this bag feels as though it'll give me years of good use and with the usage it's already undergone, I have to admit, I'm a bit impressed.

Shoulder Strap: Now, it states it has a wire for increased security. Maybe so. On the top half. The adjustable part of the strap doesn't have a wire, to my knowledge, and could probably be cut fairly easily. Another issue on the strap is the "Cell Phone" case. I'm not sure if a cellular phone would fit too well in this pocket, especially the newer (And bigger) smartphones. It would be a really tight fit, to say the least. Any electronic put in this pocket would brace the weight of anything you carry in the bag, seeing as the bag seems to like to find the small of your back, which causes the pocket to rest on the top of your shoulder and in turn, the "curve" of your shoulder. I have adjusted the strap length multiple times, to all lengths, and the outcome always seems the same. Overall, the strap could use some work, and re-measuring.

These are the main complaints I have with the bag, so far, and some of it's merits. I will say that, albeit small, the bag is still functional, especially if you're looking for this size of a bag. The mono-sling feature only allows this bag to be worn in one direction (The strap over your right shoulder), so, if you're looking for a uni-sling bag, this bag isn't for you.

The description aside, the bag can carry a lot of items of smaller nature, and if you pack them correctly, they all fit nicely. If you need a bag to carry around a wallet, camera, spare batteries, maybe some lenses, a flashlight, a small medical kit, I.D's and various other paperwork, all these items can be fitted into the main compartment. You can also throw a water bottle in there, and a couple of snacks, if you're really good at playing "Gear Tetris."

All in all, this is a nice, SMALL, bag to carry around. The mesh on the backside allows the back to breathe, which is a nice feature. The clasp at the front of the strap is also nice, and allows you to throw a few pouches (With belt loops) on, as well, adding to the capacity of the bag (In a sense).

Although smaller than I had imagined, I have plenty of uses for this bag and don't regret my purchase and plan to use it on a daily basis. Considering the price, it's actually not that bad of a bag.
