Almost perfect (shoulder strap is no-no)

I was using the Lightwire tote bag for 2 years, then we got this new big computer from work, which could barely fit it. Also the tote didn't have any space once my PC was in. The new Lightwire Brief bag solves the all of the problems mentioned above. And it even has a water bottle pocket, large main compartment, and place to stick a magazine or paper. I can't ask anymore!! but not so fast. I hate the shoulder strap came with the bag, it has a slit in the middle to hold the handle and shoulder strap together while attached to the large rolling bag. Well, the slit in the middle is very annoying when I carry the bag on my shoulder. They also tend to slip if I'm wearing soft shell jacket. I guess it was designed to be worn over a dressy jacket, but I really think Patagonia makes lousy shoulder strap. That's why this bag doesn't get 10. But overall this is great bag.
