I'm giving the backpack 4 stars because it seems to have very sturdy construction. However, I am returning it because the water bottle pockets will not hold a typical refillable water bottle. It will hold only the smaller disposable water bottles, which is not very useful for a backpack. If the water bottle pockets aren't an issue for you and the relatively small size of the backpack are OK for you, I would say this would be a good purchase.

Nice, well made . Good quality zippers and material. Perfect day bag

I purchased this bag for use as a trauma kit. The G4Free "G4Free Tactical Sling Bag Backpack for Men" opens up into two pockets with one restraining strap. Rear panel is well padded, and with zippers on both sides, opens into a "secret" compartment. Interestingly, the "inside tool holder" looks suspiciously like a holster. So this sling pack would offer a conceal carry option. The buckles/fasteners are plastic.

This “G4Free Tactical Sling Bag Backpack for Men,Military Durable Shoulder Pack Tactical Bag for Travel, Hiking, Outdoor Sports Khaki (Khaki)” is a pretty good “sling bag”. The overall material and construction is pretty good. Got all the necessary bells and whistles. Lots of pockets and compartments, so that you can fit many of your random items. Good for traveling too, holding onto your critical documents and a few more traveling essentials, headphones, jackets, umbrella, water bottle etc… (basically this can also be your EDC/every day carry bag). Also love the velcro loop area in the front, you can customize this bag by putting a bunch of “morale patches” up there. Best of all, the price is very good for what you get. G4Free is a good affordable brand that always does pretty good in the cost vs performance department, its a good value brand.

Thank you for reading this review, I hope that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.

I really love the size of this concealed bag. The material is very well made and lightweight. I like the ability to attach it to molle systems or attach to it. It is a mid size shoulder sling bag. It has quite a few pockets. Great value for the money.

Not needing or wanting a full backpack for short to medium bike rides to the gym, pool, around town stops and trail rides - this pack looked like a good idea. It is - or it will be with a few alterations.

As is, it tends to slip to the side at times while riding. It's easy enough to sling back, but another strap under the arm should take care of that.

Another issue is the shoulder strap rubbing against my neck in riding position. Attaching something like a lamb's wool pad there would be great.

While the side mesh pockets are handy, they are not large enough to hold a standard (bike cage), water bottle. I'm reusing a protein shake bottle instead.

Otherwise, there is enough room and are enough pockets to pack what I need - without the bulk of a full pack. The breathable back helps, but nothing will prevent sweating the hills.

In all, I'm satisfied it works for my agenda (or will do).

I picked up this shoulder backpack for family trips to amusement parks, and it has been a fantastic choice! With three little boys, I always need a bag to carry essentials, but I dislike carrying a purse. This shoulder bag provides the perfect balance—it keeps my hands free while distributing weight comfortably across my back.

One of the standout features is the amazing attention to detail in the design. I keep discovering additional organizing accessories inside that make it even easier to keep all my belongings secure. The thoughtful compartment layout ensures that everything has its place, making it simple to access what I need quickly. It’s a comfortable, durable bag that holds up well, even with frequent use. The size is just right for carrying all the essentials when we’re out and about, and the price offers great value for what it delivers. I can see this being an amazing bag for hiking, travel, or any outdoor activity where a compact, well-organized carry option is needed. Highly recommend!

Summary:
• Well-organized compartments with incredible attention to detail
• Additional accessories help keep belongings secure
• Comfortable and secure fit
• Durable material that holds up well
• Perfect size for essentials
• Great value for the price

I was interested in this sling pack as a travel bag for personal items. There is an inside pocket with a Velcro closure that fits my 11" iPad perfectly. There are plenty of pockets and cubbies to sort out and place your gear. The plastic zippers manipulate easily, and the zipper tabs have nice paracord loop extensions for an easy grip. There are both outer and inner pockets along with 2 water bottle pockets. The back has a thin pad for comfort and is covered with an open mesh weave for breathability. The stitching is done well, and there are no loose or hanging threads. Overall, this little sling pack is quite functional and is made very well for the price.

I have a 40L backpack, a 25L backpack, and a 5L sling bag. The backpacks are great for multi-day trips, and the sling bag is used for tools and EDC gear. I've been looking for something in between those that I could use for day trips, hikes, and 1-nighters... And this G4Free Tactical Sling Bag ended up being the perfect size.

In addition to being well-constructed and having a sufficient number of pockets and MOLLE loops, there are a few notable features that I really like about this model:

1) COMFY SHOULDER STRAP: Many sling bags use a thin strap that can dig into your shoulder. This one is wide, and super thick with padding. This can make a huge difference if you're going on a long hike with a full pack.

2) AMBIDEXTROUS BACK POCKET: The hidden back pocket is accessible from both the left and right sides via two different zippers. Again, this little detail can be a game changer. When you swing the bag around to your front to access it, there will be a zipper in front of your regardless of which shoulder you're carrying it on.

3) STRAP SECURITY: This isn't mentioned in the listing, but they included an elastic band on the adjustable strap that will allow you to tuck in the slack so it isn't flapping all around. This is huge!

This is a versatile, feature-rich sling bag, and I'm really happy with it.

This a perfect little bag to transport my 11inch ipad pro to and from work. It has just enough room for a few other small items. The strap gets plenty long enough to fit me comfortably and and a big dude. I highly recommend
