I purchased this satchel, "Murse" or whatever you want to call it to replace a worn out Brand X and on whole am quite pleased. Except. My gripes are just a few Nits to Pick based on YEARS of owning/carrying/using these kind of things for a number of decades. My BIGGEST gripe is the shoulder strap/"pad" as comes with the bag. The pad itself is FAR(!!) too narrow, IMHO, and also has a tendency to slide to one side or the other. Which way it slides isn't consistent except to say it is ALWAYS away from the needed direction. Also, there is NO "Padding" encased whatsoever from what I can tell. It is just a modestly wider panel that is too slick in construction so it slides along the strap as well as your shoulder/neck region. Oh, and as it slides ot will Lovingly scoop up a sliver of shoulder/neck flesh and PINCH the living CRAP out of said body part! You are NOT going to accidentally fall asleep while wearing this thing, Nosiree! Next is the main compartment closure cords where they exit the grommet attached to the folding bag part circumference. The cordage will NOT easily cinch down and allow the pinching device to keep the bag opening securely closed. In order to effectively close off the opening, it requires two (2) hands and you need to cinch down one cord, restrain it then do the other side in the same manner. Rinse, Lather, Repeat multiple times if you want to get the bag top opening "mostly" closed and secured. To me it is a PITA when I need to access something quickly or repack the bag after removing an item. Next up is the very modest (!) grab handle that is attached near the top of the bag and situated between where the shoulder straps are sewn. This seems to have been an oversight by the manufacturer in that it is puny when compared to the bulk of the bags construction. IF it had been made of, say one INCH (1") material and TWICE as thick, I wouldn't be skeered to pick the bag up by this strap, but as it is, it feels like Love cheated Death everytime I use it and it doesn't RIP loose! Now I've gone and jinxed it and it will crap the bed next time I use it. Oh, well. Lastly is the "waist" strap. Or as it SHOULD be known as the "WASTE" strap. Fess up, Maxpedition.... That thing was added as a cruel joke, wasn't it??!!?? There can be NOBODY short of a Keebler Elf, Lindsay Lohan during her drug addled anorexia/Auschwitz survivor days who could REALLY and HONESTLY secure that strap around their "waist," could they?!? Maybe someone's THIGH, perhaps, but it is of such Lilliputian dimensions as to make it a silly afterthought from my look at it. SHEESH!! So far that is pretty much all the gripes I have and otherwise i appreciate this bag and it is carried with me EVERY time i leave my house as it holds some modest Trauma medical supplies, my personal meds and a spare Subcompact semi auto pistol and spare magazine or two. Even though the sniveling i present here may be of little to no concern to others, NONE of them are cause for me to seek another bag at this time. As for the main shoulder strap/moveable pad, I'm looking for something like a seatbelt neck cushion thingie to help prevent pinching of my neck. No biggie. And if Maxpedition made the IDENTICAL bag but another 25% greater capacity (in all dimensions including compartments) I assure you I'd be whipping out the plastic to buy one. Oh, and I'd probably buy the "Right Handed" version, too. I currently have the LH model (which works fine) but I'd like to see if it would "ride" any better on my body. The LH version I have is slung over my right shoulder with the bag hanging over my left hip. I need to have my right hand/hip accessible to grab my CCW after all.
