That's a very specific scenario. If you are very concerned about that, I'd say look for a backpack with lockable zippers rather than hideable zippers.

@@ThePerfectBag Are they an option with this bag? It's nice.

Lol. Just pay attention to your surroundings

Not with this one. Maybe check out bags from PacSafe

@@siredc4182 Granted, now that there is evidence that this happens. After viewing, a man (several were videotaped doing this) was chased and ran into traffic. Fatal end.

Nope

Yup. They make great stuff. A top 5 bag company for me.

It can - but would struggle with a passport wallet

What do you think of the shoulder bag vs this?

@@ThePerfectBag depends on the person's needs for sure. the shoulder bag has more compartments and is a pretty large bag that still wraps making it feel a bit smaller, unlike a messenger bag. I live in a big city so daily carry between the two can depend. sometimes it was just the vibe of the bag but sometimes i needed to bring more stuff. i agree with you that the rear pocket on the sling is too small. I used it to hold mints and transit cards. i could squeeze my iphone 14 pro in it but it was tough to take it out. I wear a lot of hats and the small fidlock on the bag was great to hold my hat through the hat adjustment band if im out all day. The unit sling was great travelling since it was my personal item that could store a ton of stuff for an international flight. easily have my gear on me like chargers, phones, even a usbc game controller to play emulators on my phone. the unit shoulder bag might be able to get away as a personal item, but it could depend on the airline. while it could hold a laptop in the large top compartment, you lose the body wrapping-ness of these bags.

I wish I had that daypack from held Closely!!!!

let me know what you think when you get it! Post your thoughts here or in the SubReddit.

i have the same fear, but that fidlock on the main strap is actually pretty difficult to remove. even pulling on the pull tab requires a bit of effort.

glad it helped!!!

I'm not sure about all that, but it's definitely how black friday works.

I've got it on some, btu not on others. I wouldn't say it's cultural, just a feature that is used maybe more frequently than other places in a country with strong public transit. a simple place to put train tickets or receipts. I think in the US that would be for hiding your passport or wallet.

@ makes sense. In my situation, the top QAP is more useful when interacting with my backpack as a car driver. Do you think that would explain the demand for top QAP in the US?

​@@ThePerfectBagThis bag actually looks cool. What's it called?

@@jcap8391 it is cool! This is from Harvest Label - and it's on their website now. I'll try to get you a link.

I lied - Masterpiece japan (MSPC). shop.mspc.jp/en/products/02370?_pos=9&_fid=0a2d4b2cc&_ss=c&variant=42986904322227

I think I used my CTactical Zip Pouch here.

Yeah, who doesn’t carry a B-wing?

First I had the tan. Then I traded it. Then I got the black. Then I got the orange. Then I got the olive.... and then I got the black. I love the bag. I've owned all four colors and the black is my favorite. It's on my bag wall and is a forever keeper.

It ended up being my 2023 bag of the year.

Ah - good info!!!

Yup!

You have my sincere apologies. I can send you the straps and you can attach them to a different bag if you want :)

But in all seriousness - I do think that the bag was fairly unusable with the straps on it - just a cute thing for shelves....and I wanted it to be useful to me.

Neat Idea!!!

@ThePerfectBag I'll take them of your hands if you'll won't have a use for them 😁

@ let me see if I kept them

LOL - yeah - this was just a fun little video. The bag isn't really serious - and the video isn't really serious.

Thanks! I've matched it to my BDL Nexus 20L w/ ultra and that same green.
