Good Bag

My first order with Cheaperthandirt, and I am pleased.
The bag arrived fast, and was "as described". I found a review on another site that had much better pictures of the bag, but nothing was differing from the description that CTD listed, just more detailed. The bag has an "odd" connection on the end of the shoulder sling. I found that if you use the "in-line" quick connector, the bag works for across the chest carry, as designed, however it does not stay in place and sags a lot in the back, making it very uncomfortable. I wanted to wear the bag over one shoulder, like a backpack style, however if you use the standard "in-line" quick disconnect the shoulder strap is held at a weird angle and is VERY uncomfortable, almost painful, when fully loaded as the strap cuts into your shoulder. If you use the "other" connector that is up on the straps webbing, it lets the strap move against your body, and the strap lies more flat, however the bag still tends to shift to the side and slip off of your shoulder often.
The bag was not clearly identified as an across the chest rig only, and that is a little disappointing, but not unexpected, so I did not take off any bullets for it as it was a "lets try to wear it my way" purchase. :)
All in all a great bag.
