phenomenal.

2 years ago

I have had this bag for 6 months. And it is the best daily bag I have every owned. The u lock holster is so convenient. This bag is small, but if you carry a purse or a Fanny pack. This will be plenty of room. The fastening straps on the sides also come in handy. There are several strange items that I have been able to fit in the straps on the side. For example a large desk lamp. And a rod for a shower curtain. The material is very heavyweight and durable. And it does not feel cheap at all. I would recommend getting chromes phone holster that comes separately. Together they are perfect. No complaints.

Careful of the Wrecking Ball Effect…and Sweat

1 year ago

The size, construction, and the stabilization strap on this are great. It really stays in place when I’m riding a bike. I can only give it three stars though due to two pretty big drawbacks (at least for me). The first is that it doesn’t breathe at all (there’s no mesh backing on the back of the bag). In Texas this means you’re going to sweat a LOT under it even when just walking or hiking. The second is the buckle weighs almost as much as the bag and simply taking the bag on and off causes it to swing like a wrecking ball destroying everything in its path (pro tip, don’t take it off when standing next to your car). I end up leaving it buckled and putting it on like a shirt over my head but the inconvenience, weight, and wrecking ball carefulness could be fixed with a different buckle.

Nice bag if it’s what you’re looking for.

3 years ago

The bag is really pretty good. Solid quality and simple design. It’s very comfortable and perfect if you’re carrying a relatively small amount. I carried a water bottle, light jacket, a few bars, my kindle, and a few other small items. It was perfect for those sorry of daily carry kind of items. It barely fits my iPad, would not work for a laptop. I don’t think you’d want to carry more than a few pounds it.

Chrome quality and perfect form factor for riding

5 years ago

Perfect size back pack for some u-locks and random nicknacks during the ride. The buckle is great. Just wished it was a little bit lighter but can’t complain. It’s now my favorite mini backpack to wear when going out on a ride.

Great Getting Around Bag

1 year ago

I bought this for short days out when I don't need a supportive or large bag. I also wanted something minimal that could fit an ebike battery or helmet. The quality is great and I really like using the buckle mechanism. Downsides are there's no built in organization, just a large space and a small side zipper pocket. Also the belt buckle is incredibly heavy and a little bit of a liability to ding objects when you are moving it around.

Amazing Quality, But No Built-in Organization

1 year ago

I was looking for a durable and nice looking bag for trips or going to theme parks. I liked the look of the Kadet and the build quality and materials are great. The 1050D nylon is thick and durable. I didn't find any loose stitches or have any issues with the aquaguard zippers. The back of the bag isn't super padded, but It didn't bother be while I was wearing it. The strap is nice and wide and the buckle was easy to latch or undo. The padded portion that goes over your shoulder is a nice soft touch material. It comes with a stabilizer strap, but I didn't use it. I had several things I disliked about the bag. 1. It is for left shoulder carry only. The solution I found was to buy a shoulder strap pad. It was nice to be able to switch shoulders if my left one was sore. However, it did make the bag a bit more heavy. 2. The pad on the strap is a bit slippery. I found the bag would slip or move around as I wore it. The stabilizer strap would help keep it in place, but I didn't want to have to have another strap going across since I like to be able to swing the bag around easily to grab things out of it. 3. There is almost zero organization built in. It has two pockets on the inside. The front zipper pocket. But other than that it is a big dumping ground for your stuff. To keep things organized so you're not digging around you can use pouches and cases. But that can add a good amount of weight to the bag. You can buy a tote bag organizer that has pockets and zippers that kind of lines the inside of the bag. It won't be as heavy as a bunch of pouches. Overall it is a good quality bag. But you have to figure out how you want to deal with it being only left shoulder carry and the lack organization.

Great for biking

5 years ago

I bought this for biking through the city and the trails, lightweight and comfortable also expandable carries everything I need. Would have been nice to have a mesh bottle holder on the outside but it's still a great product

Way more comfortable than other bags.

1 year ago

This bag is kinda weird. It's bigger than many other slings. I love it. I'm 6'3". 210lbs. It holds a bunch of stuff, or not much stuff and sits on the body well either way- wether I'm walking or biking. They just got this one right. I'm impressed.
