Know before you buy
Yes, the shoulder strap is fully adjustable and designed to be ambidextrous, allowing you to switch sides for comfort during long hikes or daily commutes.
The fleece-lined sleeve is primarily designed for smaller devices like a smartphone or a pair of sunglasses. It is not intended to fit full-sized tablets or laptops.
The bag is made from a durable ripstop nylon with a wax coating, which provides reliable protection against light rain and trail debris. While it is rugged and water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof or submersible.
