I would give this bag 4 1/2 stars, and the half star is for lack of compartments.This bag has been used for two international trips; a one week trip in England, and a two week trip in Italy. In both cases it function very well, was comfortable as a front wearing bag, and allowed for carrying all the daily essentials for a man, including a water bottle.The only thing that I would do to improve this bag would be to create some kind of additional segregated space inside the bag, and maybe break the front pouch into two. The front zipper pouch is very deep, which means small things can get lost in the bottom of it if you have big hands and can't reach all the way to the bottom easily.The main compartment is primarily one compartment with a divider for an iPad or e-reader with a Velcro tab at the top. There is a zipper on the front wall of the bag which I used to store my passport and money. I used the flat section with the tab on top for my wife's shoulder wrap and or my guidebook. But, everything else in the main compartment just goes in together. It's not the end of the world, but a few smaller sections would've been nice for segregating things like mints, hand sanitizer, etc.The zipper pouch on the strap was great for holding coins since European countries tend to use coins for singles and doubles instead of bills. It really did hold a fair amount and make it easier to get around and I had no worries about security.

I love the quality of this bag. Smooth zippers, attention to detail. I recently realized that it includes a loop that hold the extra strap which is really helpful wearing it backpack style, when you cinch it tighter, all that extra strap gets tucked away neatly. I love that it fits close to my body and doesn't seem bulky.Plenty of room too, enough for my ReMarkable tablet and my nook with room to spare. A divider in the middle gives you 2 compartments in the main bag, plus a zipper with room for storage.On the outside is a decent size quick use pocket as I call it, where I keep my wallet, lens wipes, aspirin, etc.The a bonus pocket on the wide shoulder strap where I keep my car fob, but big enough for a wallet or even a phone. I was able to fit an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a little wiggling but didn't have to stretch the pocket.

Used throughout Japan, great bag to carry essentials for the day

It's a quality sling bag made with strong material. The negative aspects are that is doesn't have much depth. I bought it to fit a camera with lens but it is too shallow from front to back. Also, it too expensive for what you get. I have an old messenger bag by Osprey and it was expensive but had much more to offer. The brand is good but this bag is just average.

I couldn’t fit a basic file folder in the cargo spot. The bag is typical amazing Osprey quality in terms of materials and stitching, but they need to have a good size that can fit a reasonably sized laptop and a folio.

Loved it! It's better than the other Osprey sling bags, it's a lot bigger, and it can fit an 11-inch tab. The front pocket can fit my wallet and keys. There is a zipper in the inner compartment for valuables.

I use this bag as my purse while traveling to Japan. I used it across my body so I did not have to carry it. It was very comfortable and useful. I had my passport, US dollars in Japanese money. They use a lot of coins, bus, tokens, etc. I had make up, deodorant, perfume and my phone.. It has very strong stitching, so it does not come apart. It is worth the money and it’s perfect for traveling.

Works with iPad, keyboard and essential. Comfortable and easy to wear.
