Mine is the Slingshot 300AW. What I meant to say, but my iPad wouldn't
let me, is that the zippers are of a too small size. The Top and side
compartments open and close fine one-handed, but the main compartment
doesn't. It always binds on the corners.
There is a whole lot of uncomfortable awkwardness to this bag. It's
kinda like having a signer watching angels fly while the presidents of
nations are speaking.
