I have been a fan of Kavu and their products for a few years- since college. These bags are great for people on the go who have a few extra things to carry, or who would prefer to be hands-free. I bought the Jet Black Kavu Paxton Pack and am very pleased with how it looks! The brown rope sling really compliments the bag and I like that it is water-resistant.
I also own a couple of the original Kavu Rope Bags, and though I like them as well, the Kavu Paxton Pack is my favorite style of sling bag that Kavu offers. One of my favorite features of this bag is the hidden pocket that lies on your shoulder. I use this to hold my phone and other items I really want to be concealed and protected while out on the town. I really love the drink pouch available for my water bottle when I go walking/hiking. There are also two pen/pencil/highlighter pockets inside the large compartment which I use for my pen and highlighter.
On the Kavu Rope Bag there is a second large compartment available for smaller items, but it is a little difficult to reach while wearing. One of the main reasons I bought the Paxton Pack is because there is only one large compartment and it is easy to access while wearing. I also love the smaller front pocket on the Paxton Pack to place items that I'd like to grab in a hurry.
Finally, I really love the look of the Paxton Pack more so than the Rope Bag. I think the look is cleaner, and less bulky. The compartments are easier to access and I like that there are no pockets that extend outside of the bag. The Kavu Rope Bag has two pockets in the middle of the bag that do this and though they are convenient, I find it easier still to access my things in the Paxton Pack. Every compartment is flush with the design of the Paxton Pack and I think it looks more put-together than the Kavu Rope Bag.
Overall, this is my favorite sling bag for mostly convenience and aesthetic reasons. All the compartments are easier to access, I love the discreet pocket that lies on your shoulder, and I really appreciate having a drink holder on the side. This bag wins a 10/10 for me :).
