Amazon listed "frequently return item". Might want to skip this one.

I bought one at this price before and returned it. It was thin and felt cheap. Didn't even want it for walking dog to park.

I purchased this last time around. This is ONLY good if you are left handed. Otherwise when you have the pack in front of you and go to open it the Zipper is facing the ground and your items fall out. My phone fell out and cracked.

I use a sling for my work or when walking my dogs frequently and this enraged me. I believe this is why there are prices so cheap. They are flawed for most.

I got this one last time it's pretty good. you can wear it like a belt. Holds 4 beers easily. I've taken it to festivals and had no issues with security.

Remember the days this was $5 with their relatively frequent $10 Q and free shipping? Sometimes even lower or $0.

Sadly it seems those days are gone. It was a cherished hobby.

Can I guess your connect indicates this bag is too flimsy to hold its shape while trying to insert things in the bag? Thanks!

Since the strap can switch sides, wouldn't it just be a matter of changing it to make it work?

I see mostly women with sling packs so I think they are made mostly for women. As a 6' 1" guy with broad shoulders these things don't even really fit. I have a Bauer version and an Osprey and don't use either anymore. Sometimes I'll wear a waist pack turned to the side

A lot of bags on Amazon have a similar issue with pockets facing the wrong direction (generally down when not fully upright).

I got this bag off Amazon for my last trip and highly recommend it if you want something slimmer/nicer-looking:
https://a.co/d/1rIYRIU

Note, there are other design options on that same page but I'm only talking about the one I linkedโ€ฆ

Cons compared to this Eddie Bauer:
* no drink pocket
* thinner profile so it likely carries less
* strap hook has an opening so you can unhook it when needed but it can happen on its own (I used a safety pin to tighten the strap to the hook)

Pros:
* better pocket placement
* slimmer profile that can still be stuffed a fair amount when needed
* better looking - the materials looked and felt good
* held its shape well
* typically much cheaper

I used this as a diaper bag. It was perfect for that.

Hey Doc; can you locate a deal on a DeLorean time machine?

It's says that for most bags, because items such as these are a "one size fits all" that really doesn't fit all.
