Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Sling Backpack

I love this sling backpack. I bought it for our trip to Disney. It fit everything I needed perfectly. It was easy to slide around to get something out without opening it. The fabric did get caught in the back zipper and it was bothersome for a while until I finally got it unstuck. I would definitely recommend this sling backpack. If you are on the fence, buy it and you will not regret it.

I LOVE this Sling Backpack style and wish they would go back to making this in their Performance Twill, and in ALL patterns. I'm NOT a fan of their new Utility Sling Backpack, unfortunately, with no D-ring or room for my 40 oz water bottle like this one sports. So I buy every pattern or color I like in this style, and have so many! Would be 5 stars if their new recycled materials were of better quality. Love the idea, but don't love the thinner, lower quality fabrics, sadly, at the same price points. This style has a pocket for everything!

I am very pleased with this product, especially the expandability, however, the zipper is my least favorite attribute and often sticks.

I really like this backpack ! Really my only issue is the strap itself .. It's slippery and slides around if u don't wear it crossbody .. and you cannot tighten it enough for it not to continue to slide ! that being said .. it's more roomy than I expected and I love the pockets and that it will hold an iPad .. so for now I certainly will overlook my one annoyance with it as most of the time it will be crossbody used ..

super cute, waterproof, just a tight squeeze for normal, rectangular Tupperware. Nothing out of the ordinary, but every brand should make lunch boxes a little larger than the standard size of plastic ware. Strap is extendable, shipping was fast.

Nice hands free comfortable bag. Just wish the middle pocket zipper opened sideways too.

I really like this bag but I am a large woman and even all the way out it is tighter then I'd like to be comfortable. I am trying to find a strap extender that would be compatible but no luck so far and one way it could be even better would be with a cup pocket on the side.

I like the print! The zipper is my only issue, it tend to catch a little more than I'd like, but I still kept it.

It is a great size and I like the adjustable strap. After only a few weeks of use, the zipper has already torn the inside liner.

Nice love color it is very roomy. It is bigger then I expected but still great traveling sling. Lots of zippered compartments excited to use it.

Love the fabric, so soft. Beautiful print. Nice size. Purchased on sale so it was a great price. The only minor inconvenience is the zipper around the corners needs to be worked.

Wish zipper opening was bigger. Hard to get pickleball paddle in.

Straps are not long enough.

I love the design and the inside too. except I have one problem whenever I close the zipperI get stuck all the time with the inside material and the frustrating. I don't want the material to get tear which hasn't happen yet.

Overall I like it but sometimes the strap wants to loosen & lengthen on its own. It has been a good alternative to a purse.

The bag is great! Just a little too big .

I love the convenience of being able to throw over my shoulder. The individual compartments are perfect for keeping items I use often easy to get to. My biggest issue is with the strap. It does not seem to stay where I want it. While wearing as a crossbody, the strap seems to grow, the purse falls further down my back.

Nice, quality bag. It is a little larger than I anticipated, but great for a day hike, or hands free shopping excursion!

Haven't really used it yet, bought it for Vacation coming up in a couple weeks.. but it fits my thing and seems very comfortable..

I love how spacious it is and the quality is great. The reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because there is no shoulder pad/grip to keep the bag from sliding off. The strap is so smooth if you carry it like a side bag it just falls off the shoulder and is quite annoying. Other than that I love it.

Love all pockets, but the cross strap does not stay tight.

I am enjoying the backpack but I really prefer the small backpack you used to have that I was really after when I ordered this one. I'm still trying to get used to where I have placed items in this one.

Lots of great zipper pockets. The only issue for me is that the strap keeps positioning itself longer and needs often adjustment to keep it the right length. Rather annoying. But other than that, excellent quality.

Low the pattern and style. It's a little smaller than I excepted and doesn't have pockets on the inside. But it still works for my needs

Comfortable to wear, easy to change, lightweight
