I have had this bag for about 3 month now, it is so close to being my perfect, go to bag for anything and everything. Organization is amazing, lots of space (more than it looks like when I opened it up,) and the spaces are well organized. The bag is built very well, it is very thick and extremely well padded all over, inside and out. This bag was so close to making it to my daily carry bag but one thing has resorted it to a sad life in my closet: the strap. The strap is very adjustable and it is so short the bag rides a few inches shy of my armpit. I am 6'0" and I've never seen or owned a bag with such limited adjustability.You can forget about wearing with the strap going across your chest like a normal sling/messenger style bag as the bag will ride up in your armpit and be very awkward and uncomfortable. With a jacket on it wants to slip off my shoulder when carried non-crossbody.
I have been forced to go back to my milsurp bread bag and I'm pretty sad about it. I can't sew and I don't anyone that can so cutting the strap off and sewing something else on is not an option for me plus it would take away from the aesthetics of the bag. If I could gain 7"-10" of adjustability this bag would score very high for me. I purchased this locally at a place with a huge sale going on at the time, I paid like $24.76 w/ tax for the bag, since I can't se it realistically or comfortably I would say I way over paid. I want to give it a 4/5 but the strap is just too much of an issue and I was stoked for the bag. If I could send it back and have the strap made longer I would give this a solid 5/5 everyday. Everything I've bought from DimeBags has been amazing and I feel like I underpaid for what was delivered. PLEASE fix this and make the bag more adjustable, I wish I could just unclip the strap and clip a new one on but it is sewn on.
