I have a quick question for everyone here, so i understand wearing a messenger bag high on your back probably the most comfortable position to wear it. However, i read lots of people saying they like messenger bags because they can swing it around, and take stuff out of their bag without actually removing the bag from their shoulder.

The problem that i am running into, is when i have my messenger bag high on my back, while although very comfortable, i cannot for the life of me swing it around and simply take things out. The opening flap when open covers my face, and the angle when trying to reach in the bag is very awkward, and more of less collapse the bag which makes removing items very difficult.

Am i missing something here on how they should be worn, and used efficiently?
