Gendered bags?

Well there was no indication this was a "woman's" item, and frankly the distinction is silly. It's a sling bag. It's great for hiking. I love it, and I'm a guy. Please stop giving genders to objects that don't require one. This isn't a baby-doll t-shirt, it's a backpack.

Good at first, but bad quality

I really loved this bag, and received a lot of compliments on it. But... the parts they use are inferior. The zipper broke, and at first I figured this was just "one of those things" -- but it isn't. The zipper isn't YKK, but is something cheaper - no wonder it broke. And, I lost a set of keys out of it. So, nice bag, but too bad they use cheap parts. Skimping on a zipper pull? Not worth it.

Absolutely LOVE

3 years ago

Picked this up on a trip when my Mountain Smith fanny pack got a rip in it that I couldn't repair until I got back. This pack outdid my expectations! I was able to put: my 3L hydration pack and thread the mouth piece through the chord strap, an additional 48 Oz Nalgene, face and body sunscreen, money, taser, lighter, bug repellant, and multiple trail snacks. I also strapped an additional water to the strap. This bag took me through the Bright Angel Trail GCNP, a day in YNP, and the Badlands Loop DVNP. Only complaint would be with all the water weight I hiked with the strap did dig into/ make my shoulder sore after using it multiple days in a row.

Fantastic every day bag

8 years ago

I purchased my first Kavu sling bag last fall. I liked it so much that I bought another one in a different print. I just ordered 3 more. The small, upper pouch is a great place to keep my keys handy. The lower pouch is perfect for my phone and work badges. I use one pouch for my medical supplies and the other for personal items. The interior pouch is a good place for small things that I don't want to loose. I was also very pleased with how well the bag worked out on shore excursions for our cruise. I could keep the bag on my back in areas were I felt safe and rotate it to the front when I wanted to keep an eye on it. Having my hands free was also a huge plus.

More space than I expected

8 years ago

I love the rope along bag, especially the camping pattern I ordered (the background color is more cream than white). It has 3 zippered pockets and one Velcro pocket which perfectly fits my small digital camera. The small pocket on the front would hold a large phone and still have space (in thickness). The one side pocket overlaps the largest compartment. The largest space has a small zipper space inside and is bigger than I expected it to be. I was very pleased. The rope strap could be a little uncomfortable on your shoulder if you put a lot in the bag (too heavy) or if it's directly in contact with your skin. Otherwise I love it!

Nicer than pictured

9 years ago

I bought this bag in the "Fable" print, and the have to say the online picture just does not do it justice. The colors are so much deeper. The material feels sturdy. It's a great size for every day carry. I'm very happy with this purchase, and imagine the other colors and patterns are equally as nice!

Love this bag!!!

5 years ago

I recently bought this bag with the charcoal fable design! I saw someone wearing it at Peet’s coffee and had to know where she bought it. I have been looking for a comfortable and functional yet cute bag for so long. I use it for work and home. It even fits my iPad Pro that I use for a lot of my patients. The larger pocket and smaller pocket are great for keeping things organized. And it is great for walking through parks in Santa Cruz, Big Sur, etc. It is very well distributed...so much so that I don’t even feel it on my back when I’m wearing it. I highly recommend it!!!

I cant say enough good things about this bag

9 years ago

I bought this bag almost 4 years ago. Durable. Great size. I took this bag with me on deployment and it held up in the Middle East, in Asia and closer to home where I take it everywhere. This is my daily bag and its great if you want to take a few things to the gym and it's the perfect size for day hikes. I also ride a motorcycle and this bag fits closely enough to me when I ride that I dont have to worry about it falling off or flapping around. It can also surprisingly fit a lot in it. The large pocket fits multiple books or a tablet (sorry not big enough for a laptop), sweatshirts, chargers even bottles of wine or a six pack of beer (not all at the same time of course). the small front pockets are great for items without it smashing anything in the bigger pockets. I usually keep my phone and wallet in there when I hike. I cant say enough good things about this bag. One of the best bags I've ever owned.

Great bag

9 years ago

I use this bag for work. I work 12 hours shift. It has lots of pockets and actually holds quite a bit. I've had it hold an outfit, bathroom bag, kindle, keys, wallet, and other small miscellaneous items. The only thing I wish it had, was a hook to hold onto your keys. I have to dig into the pocket to get the keys which manage to bury themselves down toward the bottom.

Good Bag - Room for Improvement

7 years ago

I bought this bag for around town and shorter walks/hikes, being able to carry my stuff and stuff for a toddler. Size is good, the smaller zip exterior pocket is large enough for 1 water bottle or sippy cup. The 2 smallest exterior pockets aren't really good for a phone (as phones have gotten larger lately). I really wish there was a second pocket on the exterior to hold another water bottle that had access without a zipper, and that there was a pocket on the front rope that would hold my phone so I could have quick easy access to it. The large main pocket is good size, just note it's really one big pocket so nothing will really stay organized within it. Overall the size is pretty spot on - but just wish it had those couple extra features to really make it great.
