Man, you make reviews after I buy and sell a bag :D Had this one as well, but honestly, could not find it very useful, it's to big for a sling, but for me to small for a backpack, those side pockets might be handy, but pay attention to the zipper - it does not zip fully to the end, at least I was not able to zip it close. It fits 14" dell laptop - tested, of course it's becoming tight. Finally decided to return it as I prefer to use smaller backpack (i.e Aer Day Pack 2) and if necessary to downsize - i.e Alpaka messenger is a better option for me ;)

Good bag-versatile and stylish. However, the pockets are tighter than necessary, making access a bit challenging, though that could be a plus for security. The biggest issue is the laptop sleeve; it's too snug for a 14" laptop to slide in and out easily, and if your laptop's in a clamshell case, good luck!

The Aer Sling 1 and 2 are great middle ground too between a backpack and sling. Just bought my sling 1 for my trip in SEA last month and I carried it everywhere, it was really good and it only cost me 100$. The only downside is that it can be a bit heavy on one shoulder when you pack it to the brim with laptop, books and other dense objects.

I had a 14" Thinkpad for work and was looking at the errant sling, this, and the tech sling 2, as on a subway, the sling works better than a backpack for standing and sitting. I like having room for lunch. But that laptop size was a bit too much for some of ehem. Then work issued me a chonky new 15" Thinkpad and that's narrows down my sling options to the aer travel sling 2 and dsptch slingpack. I can sorta force it into my current alpaka tech brief 16" (that has a back sling mode that actually won me over to the sling side) but it's too tight long term, the Thinkpad is wider and thicker than the 16" MacBook everything is sized for.

Umbrella should go in the spare waterbottle pocket for easy access :) Good thing that it can carry less tyan 16l as 16 might be a bit too heavy for a sling, and then should transist into a messenger or day backpack.

Holy Moly! I really wish this sling was a backpack for a 16" laptop and could be at least 22L, with those water bottle holders in a different material of course! I would have grabbed it like the moment the website refreshed with the launch! 😅 Thank you for the review Aaron! To answer your question, yes, I'm organized enough to be able to know which compartment to hit when I want to quickly grab something but certainly not so much of an overkill where it takes me a decade to switch to another bag..if that makes sense 😊
