Great with the side effect
Works well with my side effect. Just wish the straps were easier to manage as they do hang when it’s tight

The additional utility it gives to my Side Effect is well appreciated. The materials and construction are excellent; I don't see them wearing out for a very long time.
However, it is too easy to adjust. If I try to adjust the position of my bag or even bump my hand into the strap, the strap has a chance of loosening up, creating the minor inconvenience of having to tighten the strap again.

I have such a difficult time attaching and then removing this from my side kick. I always have to have someone do it for me.

I'm using this as a sling strap across one shoulder and around my chest for a Side Effect on my back, working pretty well for running. Needed a stabilizer strap as well, and I happened to be at REI when I was researching what to get, and found this there: https://www.rei.com/product/162155 - REI Co-op Packmod Accessory Straps - Package of 2. This worked out well - can get by with just one of those.
Should mention the fit is perfect for my bulky 42" chest. Might be too tight for larger folks, but I'm sure some kind of matching extension would work.
