I've had the same sling pack for years (Western Pack -  anything from them is really well made),  but it is looking a tiny bit ratty.  I thought this bag might be a good substitute.  I like the size,  it's a little smaller than my old trusty Western Pack sling bag,  which at times seemed a bit clonky in crowded situations. But it is --as other reviewers have said, VERY cheaply made.  The outer pocket isn't secure,  as someone else said,  it's more like a flap.  I wear prescription sunglasses and I usually keep them,  my keys,  chapstick,  pocket knife etc. in the outer pocket of any bag,  just to have them handy.  This outer bag doesn't have room for anything, really,  plus it just doesn't seem secure.

The hardware is very flimsy and I can see it breaking easily (the clip that secures the strap, for example,  is that brittle Chinese plastic that just fractures under stress.)  There's a key fob made of plastic in the outer pocket -  on my Western Pack bag it is made of metal.  My husband managed to jam one of the zippers in the first 5 seconds the bag was in his hands.....the one on the "change pocket" on the strap,  and it looks as if you used it more than 3 or 4 times,  it would certainly  break.  All in all, as people say,  you get what you pay for.....but I just ordered a similar Western sling pack from another website and it was $17.50.  ([...] look for  Western Sling Pack BP701......)  So......shop around. This one will be handy for something I'm sure,  but not as my everyday bag.  It's just too cheaply made.  Maybe it will be my "dressy" sling pack!!  lol
