This is definitely a well-made bag. The ballistic nylon is sturdy and soft to the touch, and the purple color (Eggplant) looks terrific. The stitching is perfect, and has a YKK zipper in the main compartment.
And the innovative strap is very cool, too. Based on the photos, I thought it might be flimsy, but it's very sturdy, and definitely does make the bag easier to carry: distributes the weight and stays put on your shoulder.
The problem with the bag is its strange overall triagular shape which gives it a narrow bottom. From the outside, the bottom of the main compartment measures only 8" wide. And if you use the bottle holders, it takes more space away from the bag, and you're left with less than 4". So you really can't fit much in the bag, because the larger items get stuck in the middle. The only way to make use of the bottom area is to stuff it with your smaller items, which make them difficult to find later.
Also, all the pockets are shaped in the same triangular shape, too - they would have to be, naturally, due to the shape of the bag. And it's the same problem: e.g., I try to put a glasses case in a pocket, and the top is more than wide enough, but I can't push it down all the way because the bottom is too tight.
I don't know why the bag is shaped this way, except that it looks kind of funky and unusual. The ergonomic straps are a nice idea, but there's no functional reason the bag has to have this weird shape. It's a shame because it's such a well-made bag, I really wanted to like it.
Anyway, due to its narrow bottom, there's no way I can fit a 13" laptop in the main compartment, even with nothing else in the bag. (Believe me, I tried.) The only possible place for the laptop is the back pocket where the changing pad is kept. But that pocket is too shallow, and who would want to carry a computer in an open pocket in the back of the bag?
Because I love the craftsmanship of this bag, and the innovative strap, I'm thinking of getting the Go GaGa Gondola Tote instead. But I was disappointed in the Slide Tote. I would not recommend it.
