ChromeIndustries Sabin Sling Bag for Men and Women – Large Main Compartment, Lightweight Recycled Materials – 3L, Sage

I was looking for a smaller sling that wasn't expressly a fanny pack worn "wrong." I usually carry a TNF Borealis Sling, and I love it for day trips and hiking when I need enough space for stuff like a hat, water, snack, battery, etc. But it's 6L and is overkill for running to the store, and I just didn't want to go back to a real purse - I love the sling life too much. So I grabbed the Sabin 3L and have now worn it a bit.Sabin 3L Pros:1) Perfect size for my basics. Can get in a small wallet, large phone, sunglasses, two mini bottles of lotion, lipstick, lip gloss, lip pencil, gum, mints, epi pen, meds, mask, lady product, granola bar - snug, but doable.2) Sizes well for me. I'm 5'1", so a lot of bags that look small on large dudes look at least medium and sometimes large on me. The 6L Borealis is not a small bag on me. The Sabin somehow looks just right.3) Lies flat-ish - this matters to me because some slings, including the Borealis, can look a little weird over a large chest even if you don't have much in it. The Sabin looks less like the bag is wearing me.4) The pockets!!!! I always need extra bags inside the Borealis to keep everything organized. The Sabin has a nice assortment of zip and mesh pockets. Basically, it's ideal for a front-wearer; I can quickly unzip the main pack and everything is accessible and also held exactly in place, without rattling around or needing moving or needing a bag within a bag.5) It's reversible if you're a lefty or just want to switch sides (Borealis is not). Main pocket even has two zips so you can reorient. Really nice feature.Cons:1) Chrome's stuff is very drab. I'd love a mauve, a deep teal, a goldenrod, peppier colors. Give me reasons to own several?2) I don't love the rubbery pulls. Prefer the Borealis' pulls. Likewise, the rubber strip over the front mini pocket is hard to push past to grab the wallet when the interior is full.3) There are no extra hooks or straps to attach stuff. I am rigging up my own, but it's a downside; I really prefer a hook for my hat and my sanitizer. That also means there's no good way to hang this thing up on a door.4) The strap is kinda cheap feeling, like a seat belt with a plastic clasp. It's also not removable, so you can't replace it if it rips or change it to something cuter.Even with its flaws, I still love this bag and will likely buy another one if better colors come out! However, I still love my Borealis too (both of them) and would probably keep using it for longer trips rather than go up to the Sabin 6L. I think the Sabin 6L being more cavernous just misses out on the chief benefit of the design of the Sabin 3L: tight organization.
