While I never carry a traditional purse, I do always carry some type of bag when I travel which is frequent enough for me to have a large collection of small messengers and backpacks. I had been eyeing this bag for a long time in my local outfitters but the price was too high for me to justify it until my last trip. I was traveling light so I needed something for airport land (travel docs, phone, carry on fun, snacks, etc), walking around towns, and dayhikes. After the week trip, I am so love in love with this bag I now carry it daily. The sling setup for me is so convenient and let's not gloss over the obvious that the sling is made of rope so for those of us that climb or cave it makes it extra fun - even had a number of fellas comment on the "coolness" of that. I wear it tight to my body so it doesn't easily shift other than when I want it to. Just swing it around and grab what I need. I love the pocket layout as well. The small one carries chapsticks and small items. The larger front zip handles the phone, my large ecig, extra batteries, and sometimes my keys. One pocket seems slightly larger and that holds my large wallet, food, tablet, stuff for the dog, hand wipes, medicine, etc. Your daily use stuff. The other pocket I use for whatever my task is that day and a water bottle or I carry clothes in it. I have fit a surprising amount of clothing in there. The bag at first glance does not look like it will hold all this but a clever design makes it work. I never feel like I have a big bag on and it never feels heavy. It feels high quality and I love that the fabric is good at sloughing off dirt and debris picked up on the streets and trails. I suppose one day I'll have to wash it but I have a feeling that's a long way off. My only regret is not picking this up sooner. One downside is if you have a very small frame like myself. I have the strap pulled all the way in. It fits great there but you have to bundle up all the tail. Thankfully there's a little spandex holder that keeps it neat. I worry about this breaking though. I can always just lop it off and recreate the spandex thing to the best of my ability but I wish the excess strap storage would have been dealt with a little differently as still sometimes the holder lets loose and I have a foot or so of webbing flopping in the wind. Other than that, no complaints.

Rope Sling vs. Paxton Pack
By K.S. on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018
If you’re like me you see that there are several different versions of this bag with slightly different names. The one I purchased was made out of a polyester material, not too thin, not too thick. It really is not a large pack/purse. The pocket on the inside of the main pouch is not large enough to accommodate a 7+ iPhone. However, the large pocket w/zipper on the front is. The small Velcro pocket is perfect to toss your keys in. When you’re looking at the bag head on there is the main large pocket on the left side - two small pockets in the middle - and on the right side there is a smaller pocket the smaller pocket on the right side of the front is not large enough to accommodate my 32 ounce Hydro flask. This is really a day pack and it was made substantially heavier by the simple inclusion of my wallet. This is a very small pack and if you needed to bring an extra shirt or pair of pants I don’t think you would be able to put anything else in this bag. I also purchased the Paxton pack. The purpose for this purchase was to be a day pack to carry the stuff I need for my kids for a day out. The Paxton pack is my choice for the following reasons. The mesh pouch in the Paxton Paxton large interior pocket goes from the top of the bag to the bottom allowing you to keep much larger items secure in that main compartment. It also has a pocket built into the back panel that is large enough to accommodate a 7+ iPhone. The zipper pocket on the front of the packs and pack has a lanyard and it so you can hook your keys on it also that pocket goes all the way from the bottom to the top of the bag so it is not just a pocket on the bottom portion you could put something in there that is longer. The zipper pocket on the front of the packs and pack has a lanyard and it so you can hook your keys on it also that pocket goes all the way from the bottom to the top of the bag so it is not just a pocket on the bottom portion you could put something in there that is longer. It does also have a mesh cupholder however it is not a great size for me but I will still use it for kids cups. I would definitely be able to pack diapers, wipes, snacks, my items, and still be able to wing this thing around easily. The bag seem to be made very similar, water resistant, ripstop polyester material. I spent about two days pouring over different reviews and comparisons of all of the different bags and my advice is this-if you want something cute get the rope swing or one of the variations of that bag. If you want something a little bit more functional get the Paxton pack
