Does this bag have any problems sliding around when not wanted. Basically do you have to keep re-adjusting it to keep it in position on your back?

Depends on your body shape and size. Yes it will slide in my case as the bag is large. I have a small torso.

Based on my personal experience, this bag won't slide around. It's quite adjustable and even has a support strap that helps keep it in place. Being a sling bag, it isn't ideal for heavy loads; the bag can take it, your shoulder might not.

It does not move around. The way the pack is balanced it tends to stay in the same location without much movement. If you are planning on carrying over 15 pounds, I would consider a different pack. At that weight it cuts into your shoulder and is uncomfortable for even short distances.

I use it primarily on when I have minimum gear when I ride my motorcycle. The strap that goes underneath the arm is adjustable so you can tighten it or loosen as much as possible. I never had a problem with it slipping off my shoulder or moving while I rode on my bike.

Mine does not slide, It holds about 20 ish pounds of edc stuff, So it stays put. How evere there is a small strap that is attached to the bag, that if you desired you can wrap it around your side and it clips onto the bag, That would prevent any side to side motion. But Ive never had to use it!

The adjustments available allow you to customize the fit pretty well. Once I have it on, and especially if I use the small chest strap, it's pretty solid. I don't use this "off-road" though. I have a 6 block walk to my office from my car, lots of stairs and I load it up pretty good. For that purpose - solid.

It's going to move and bounce around if your on the run. It's not a great bag if fully loaded with allot of gear on a full time basis. You would need two straps and a waist belt. I never use this bags waist belt. It doesn't seam to help that much. With a load it seams to ride a little lower and you will need to readjust every so often compared to a two strap-er. But I love the pack for around home, going to and from my deer stands and short walks. When fully loaded heavy you will wish for two straps. Going around with lets say 10lbs or so its great as long as your not running and gunning. Hope this helps. It's going to move and bounce around if your on the run.

I haven't had a problem. The straps can be loosened so that everything moves freely.

I've only used it minimally as a backpack, but totally understand your concern. I did not notice any movement...however, I had the main compartment packed pretty fully. I do wish it had a hip-belt and/or chest strap to secure it closer to my body. I do love the wheel cover feature for carrying as a backpack...great idea! I hope this helps.

It's not adjustable, and it is a little big. I'm small as well, so I just tied a knot in the back. Works fine for me. I've never had it slip down. or shift to the sides. I've had it for a few months now and can't sleep without it.

So far it hasn't slipped around. On occasion when moving my laptop it will move but with regular use it hasn't been an issue. I use it daily. I wish though I had purchased a larger size.

I overload my bags regularly and have no issues. The only time our bags come off is when we remove them for cleaning. The three different curves in the handle prevent the bags from shifting much.

I have not had this problem. It's just a matter of snugging the straps tight enough to prevent the device from sliding down.

I find that this model does not slide at all for me, even when empty. My area to cover is curved, as well. I don't even bother to secure it with the seat belt because it stays in place so well. Great Product! Go for it! Good Luck!

Not at all! I twist as I pull and have not had a problem! There are some different sizes in the bag... So some fit more snug than others. I have my preffered colors but they all work!

I do too. I've found the bag has to be perfectly upright to work best. Then it seems to retract right away

No, it stays in place. The back has got nice curvature as shown which allows for nice back support and the mesh gives way a little to conform to your back. It also promotes good posture.

The only place that holds it from slipping is the ledge at the bottom. When I am sitting, I have never had an issue of it slipping off. However, if you decide to carry it without it being in the flat position, it can slide off; especially, forward since it is angled with the widest part in the back.

Yes -- it's adjustable. It's a really nice bag. I bought one a while back and really like it a lot. It's good protection and light-weight.

First - I don't use it for back support. I have a backrest. That said, the bag is pretty darn rigid on account of interior panels on all four sides and the bottom. I'd say that if you can secure the bag so it doesn't slide at all (with all the great tie-down points that should be doable) then the answer to your question is "no" - the bag does NOT need to be full to offer back support.If I might add - the "gran tour" label does not a big bag make. This bag is not suitable as your only piece of luggage for a multi-day trip unless you travel exceptionally light.

I have not noticed it slip at all. I have loosened the lower strap to keep pressure at a minimum whilst still giving me the support i sought. It seems fine in terms of staying in place.

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

I have had this bag for over a year and have taken it on several trips. I have never had it tip forward. It is very well made and I am completely satisfied with it.
