Put it on. Before I buy something from Amazon I like to see it explained. I just wish you would have put it on, and shown us how it looks. Do a little Modeling.
Also, in the top pocket, when you are wearing it and the flap is fully open, the webbing pocket zipper is on what becomes the 'bottom' of the pocket, such that when you open the flap and unzip, everything will fall out. Thus, reverse the zipper & put it on the side closest to the body which become he effective 'top' of the pouch when opened while wearing.
I now carry the 5.11 covrt back pack - nice bag with light material and doesn't feel too heavy or bulky when loaded. Over the last year have just started to feel that the Maxpedition sling bags - single strap bags, just become too heavy when they are loaded.
It would benefit from several functional changes: PALS/MOLLE webbing on the flap and face of the body where it now only has them along the 'bottom' Also, on the top. If they want Velcro for what are 'mostly' stupid 'morale patches' (aside from ID & flag), put it 'on top' of the webbing. Also, put the webbing on the water bottle pouch exterior. Also, make available either a PALS/MOLLE slip cover for the strap for strap mountable pouches (eg a HARD crushproof (sun)glasses, or whatever).
I still have this bag but no longer use it. I am 6'0" and it won't seem to small for you - it is along the lines of a small messenger type bag. Size wise I think it will be fine for you, however I quit using it because I did feel that it became too uncomfortable to carry for what I wanted to carry. With the ballistic nylon the bag is stiff and if you carry a fair amount of gear it will get heavy - feels like cary a log over your shoulder at times.
The mesh pocket on the top flap is upside down when the flap is fully opened :S And I wish it had MORE PAL webbing strips on the outside main flap and inside...
Do you feel this bag is too big or uncomfortable? I want to get this because i think the jumbo is too small! I'm 6' 6 so I hope it wont look too much outta proportion on me!

Absolutely!!
And webbing on the face of the main bag as opposed to a strip along eh very bottom (avery strange placement...)
Thanks! It is pretty nice. Check out Part 2 when it's finished uploading - I go over some of the inside features.
@RecurveBow1983 Thanks for the comment. If you look for it online you can occasionally find them at a reasonable price with free shipping.

Nice review of a nice bag. Thank you!

That was "kinda" a good review ;)

Well done!
Thanks!

In my opinion - I wouldn't recommend it for a gym bag.
