Well made but not very functional

I'm pretty bummed about this bag overall. 1. There's no way it's 5 L capacity. I got it to replace a 2 L Vans fanny pack and they're about the same size and capacity. 2. Stabilizer strap is NOT removable. 3. Outer webbing mesh pocket seemed like it would be elastic and securable but has no stretch and is fully open on the top.My fix for the stabilizer strap not being removable shown in last two Pics adding a 1 inch carabiner to connect to a 1 inch detachable snap hook. This creates a handle for the bag but makes that mesh pocket even less usable. Planning on adding velcro to be able to close mesh area. For the price of this bag, lots of lacking function.

Great little bag

I chose the Mauve colour and love it. Goes well with my early autumn wardrobe. Lots of little details and zips to secure possessions. Would definitely recommend.

Five stars - but I returned it

This is a great bag, lots of capacity and a cool design. However...this is an "on the back" design with the seat belt buckle such that you can't operate it if you want a front sling. Love the stabilization strap included.BUT...I wanted a front sling bag, and one that was smaller for bare essentials (keys, wallet, phone, sunglasses, boarding pass, etc.). So I returned this one and got the Barrage 2L which was IDEAL for my purposes. A GREAT bag, with Chrome quality...but I simply needed something different. No fault of this bag.

Almost there

Capacity almost there on having "enough", but it seems some of the same design flaws are KU being made. Namely thant each compartment seems to rely on the next to fill described space, thereby reducing overall usable space of each pocket.My other complaint is overall strap design/arrangement. 1) It would be great if the overall length of the shoulder strap was WIDER, LONGER, & softer/more padded, and 2) configured to be "over the shoulder" carry instead of "cross-body carry". I want the bag to remain on my hip (like a woman's purse), not carried on my back or on my chest in front of me. My stomache is already large enough without something else resting there. I have come close by cobbling together parts from bags I no longer use & zip ties to approximate what I want. OK, I am NOT a bicycle messenger, I just love the bags

Amazing EDC bag!

Literally carries everything I need for a day out in the city. Carries my wallet and phone perfectly! There are two main zipper compartments. The one on the outer side has a little pocket for organizing, 2 pen holders, and a key clip. The next compartment is the biggest one where I can store a whole journal with plenty of room. I can snuggling add in my gx85 camera (28mm pancake lens), but it does reduce the space in the other zipper compartment. However, if I take out my journal, then it does open it up for me to have an extra lens or even a folded-up canvas tote. Lastly their is a hidden zipper on the back to store your wallet and phone. The outer net is kinda like a pocket but too shallow for me to trust to keep anything important without securing it with a clip. Regardless, the net does add hella style points and is a big reason why I got the bag. I just love the chrome bag aesthetic.

Best EDC sling

I have multiple slings and bags(Cadet, Cadet mini, 2L sling, etc). I love them all but this bag has been my goto since the day I bought it. Its just big enough to hold my gear as well as water bottle and snack for my 3 year olds. Awesome bag as always!

Excellent Bag

Love the bag - just what I was looking for and the cargo netting front is great for holding random things like a pocket notebook, tissues, whatever. I would have given it 5 stars but the strap keeps slipping so when i go to move it from the back to the front or vis-a-versa the strap slips from the strap adjuster and gets longer. I just re-tighten the strap but a minor annoyance

Good , but steamy

Bag is nice , quality made in USA perfect for holding my drone and go pro on bike rides , fits my flat pack also. Pretty sure it’s waterproof, but the inner pocket had some steam on the go pro that Was a bit odd. Otherwise it did its job well. Was using a 2l sling before and made the upgrade to have the stabilizer strap.

Best bag!

Love everything about this. Sling over your shoulder. Extra strap to keep it more tightly secured to your body when biking or traveling. Lots of pockets to organize and outside web pocket to slip easy access item in for quick retrieval when you need them....and that buckle!?!? ❤️❤️. Just perfection!

Hey Chrome,

Can we please have pictures of the inside of the bags? Let me see what’s going on with the pen slots and pocket size etc., that way I can better gauge the capacity and the use of the different size bags. I think I want this one, but I’m curious about the other 5L messenger bag. Thanks!
