I was delighted to have the opportunity to road-test another Thule product, since I had loved their&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Thule-TTTO-4-Black-Large-Trunk-Organizer/dp/B0033A5PPO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Thule TTTO-4 Black Large Trunk Organizer</a>&nbsp;(still going strong).

The Thule sling is well-made- zippers run smoothly, pockets are sewn well, colors add to visibility (black with gender-neutral light turquoise and grey interior), and strap is as strudy as a seatbelt.  I really like the body-fit, and that is usually the sticking point with a sling. Somehow this seems to curve around nicely, even while holding my Apple 13" MacBook and/or iPad. I know, I know, I should feel like I have two flat bricks strapped to my back, but as a woman, it is tremendously freeing to have both of my shoulders free (slings don't actually ride where a purse or tote or 2-strap rides), and the load is nice and high.

As to what I'd carry, I'd probably use this on a plane trip, or a daily commute, with just one computer or tablet; plus an e-reader, iPhone, wallet, water bottle, sunglasses, pens, Levenger writer, a few business cards, a small book, lipsticks/gloss, a bit of make-up, perhaps some knitting. And we are still talking a manageable bag, a handsome bag. A bag with enough pockets.  I think the key is really turning it horizontally to un/pack it for the day - once I undid the big zipper all the way, all of my organization began to literally fall apart if the bag was upright.  Using the bag on a slant for packing seems to work best for me.

Slings can be particularly unflattering to women - this one doesn't seem to be quite so bad.

If arthritis is compromising your shoulders and hands, give some thought to a sling. Nice zipper tabs, aluminum slider for sling.

Thule's usual construction and details. Aircraft aluminum, breathable fabric, visible interior.

Works as sling, with thoughtful side carry handle.

Moderate capacity for light to medium duty.

Makes a great Go-Bag.
