If you wear it as tight as it SHOULD be you have two problems. Attachment points dig into your shoulder, and two....its a PITA to get off due to horrible adjustment ability.
it is fantastic for like a 5 minute ride to class on campus or whatever. but do any real biking, with a real load, and you will see it sucks.
The T2 bags were redesigned this year. They are not a PITA to adjust anymore. I do use a large with heavy stuff (a gallon of milk + a quart of yogurt + a bag of apples + a lot more last week).

But I have not tried a Chrome bag, either. They may be much better. Definitely try them IRL if you have that option (I don't).
