Polare Modern Style Sling Shoulder Bag Men’s Travel/Hiking Daypack with Full Grain Italian Leather and YKK Zippers

Ships with non ykk zippers.Two so far, and slow return processing.Sent 8 emails asking how to get one with ykk zippers as advertised.Was asked - after 7th email - to provide photos of generic, cheap zippers.Completely insulting, and very bad customer service.I will keep ordering bags until one shows up with zippers as advertised.The cheap generic zippers they are using - and trying to purge out of their blackstock- are sticky and a pain to use, bringing the entire product to amateur level.Beware- this is what you will get until they are finished shipping their non ykk blackstock.

Not much to dislike and everything to love! This bag is simply well made. The stitching and zippers are strong. The bottle holder is brilliant and sharp looking. Love how it zips up if not needed and use as a slip pocket. It can carry a 20 oz water bottle comfortable. The headphone port is another bonus feature. The reversible padded strap is well thought out allowing more versatility and comfort. The strap can easily be adjusted to fit any frame size while wearing the bag.If I could change anything it would be the design of the inside pockets. I would do a top-down access to horizontal pockets so you can easily get to your stuff while the bag is in front of you. It will provide easier access while moving or sitting too. Add a slip pocket on the outside of bag on the side across from bottle holder. Also, reverse the zipper on the small outside pocket so you can open/close it easier while the bag is in front of you.These are all very minor issues that don't hinder the overall functionality of the bag. I have the larger size bag and can actually do an over-nighter with it! Shorts, shirt, dopp kit, goodies, etc... no problem. That's what I love the most!! If your looking for a cool rustic looking genuine leather sling bag with nice features, this is it! I already did the homework for you. Oh, and that Italian leather smell, need I say more?

The overall design of this bag is great. I got the large one.- Main pocket: I am able to fit a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a 10ct Herf-a-Dor, a charging cable, and other small accessories (there are two little pockets inside for sorting).- The next largest pocket: it is able to hold a few notebooks easily *or* three disc golf discs to have on hand for a quick round (if you're into that).- Small top pocket: can fit my phone and wallet but is not quite large enough for my small notebook.- Small strap pocket: can hold some petty cash and a knife but is too small for a phone or my wallet.- Wattle bottle holder: fits my 1L Nalgene okay, I may need to switch to something a bit thinner though.I love the look and feel of the leather. The strap seems comfy but I haven't used it a ton yet.My one complaint is that the interior material is not cotton but instead some kind of manufactured material (based on feel). I would have loved it if Polare had extended that change to this bag as they advertised doing with other products. I'm not a huge fan of the feel of manufactured materials typically, but as this is meant to be a more rugged bag I can see the utility of it.

Got this to serve as a "Man Purse" and carry my crap around. I was a little apprehensive about fitting my iPad Pro in it, but it fits just fine so long as I don't have it stuffed with too much other stuff. I carry my wallet, keys, phone, wireless earphones, a couple of chargers, a journal, a coupon folder, and my pen/pencil case and still have room for my iPad when I want to take it. The padding on the back AND upper strap (nice touch, by the way!) makes it really comfortable. The empty case is not what I would consider "light", although it is only 2 or 3 pounds-- it IS leather, after all: good, strong, durable leather. Can't really make that light. The stitcjing and the zippers are heavy-duty. I'd sure buy it again if I needed too; worth every penney!

I've gone through about 4 slings trying to find something that will carry a MacBook Air and Remarkable pad yet be light and easy like a sling. This really did it well. Holds all that plus accessories. Has a very well made shoulder strap, wide and soft at the top. I tried the $500 "elite" brand of sling and it barely held the laptop and had an incredibly cheap strap. Returned it. Give this a try. Only wish it came in black.

I have a number of backpacks but they have always seemed like overkill for carrying around the things I need with me - cell phone, book(s), reading glasses. etc. This bag is perfect for that purpose. It is surprisingly light for it's size and the quality of the leather. There's plenty of room for what I carry around on a daily basis. The small separate pocket fits my IPhone SE perfectly and provides excellent protection. The quality of the leather and hardware is very impressive. It is also very comfortable to wear, either over one shoulder or as a cross body bag. This bag feels like it will last a lifetime and only get better with age. Highly recommended.

A very high quality leather bag. However, it's extremely tiny.I bought the largest one, which was the medium size. And it's so incredibly small I think I will have to return it. I wish it came in a larger size, this can barely fit a small laptop. You're going to have a very snug fit For A 13.5 inch and if it has any thickness to it. You won't be able to fit anything else in the back (not even a single slim book)The outside pockets are also very small. A big pocket you might be able to fit a small iPad or other tablet. But the small pocket on the top is virtually useless. Aside from maybe keys or change, you can't put much in itIn conclusion: this is a very high-quality bag, but it's not practical because of its small size

-The zippers are falling apart as in photo. bought because zippers are metal but fabric frayed. no easy fix. waited to couple months and no return after just a couple week. buyer beware-the bag doest ride very well. rubbed neck due to the extra thickness of strap

I ordered this sling pack online, just before christmas. It looked great on the screen and big enough to store my iPad Pro, so I ordered it fingers crossed, as you never really know what you’ve ordered until it arrives. I was very impressed when it arrived, it exceeded all online descriptions, in short, I was blown away. It is very robust, super durable leather, good solid zippers( thus far) and it is NOT a feminine looking sling bag. It has the feel of a good tool belt or leather apron, and I think as it ages the leather will be worked in just right. It you are looking for a durable solid sling, I recommend this bag.

Quality materials and workmanship. Solidly made and versatile and roomy. Highly recommend.

I bought this bag as a present for my husband and he loved it. Excellent quality, very well made, beautiful leather, good zippers and nice stitching. The dark brown colour gives this bag rustic look. This bag is very well designed, perfect bag to take for walk, bike or travel. Highly recommend.

Got this bag as a handy daily for to and from the office, with room for my XPS13 inside. Nice materials and the new zippers are a definite step up. Well made and good price for a small daily commute sling bag.
