large-ish crossbody/sling backpack suggestions as replacement for this one please?

[bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb]

Been using these bags for ages:

Manhattan Portage J-bag large.
https://www.manhattanportage.co.uk/products/j-bag
Width: 40.6 cm | 16"
Depth: 12.7 cm | 5"
Height: 45.7 cm | 18"
Volume: 548 cubic inches | 8.9 L

On my second one, zip's going/gone yet again, that's what happened to the first. (Just to say, I didn't pay anywhere near the full price as on that webpage I linked to above, got them from eBay). Use it for shopping, separately, laptop plus loads of other stuff at same time, my laptop's Thule hardcase is 37 x 26 x 3 cm.

So need to get a replacement fairly quickly. None of the above type of bag have been appearing on eBay recently, certainly not at a cheap enough amount. They're not great anyway, the zips go, and the front upside down triangle pocket is quite annoying, but anyway...

Any suggestions for a replacement?

I'm assuming a sling/crossbody one is what I want, just comfortable with that style now, seems good for cycling. Would prefer similar triangle shape. Needs to be big enough, similar size to above... any ideas?, thanks.

Can you get a repair service to fix the zip ? Dry cleaners often do stuff like that.

Hmm, good idea, thanks for the suggestion. Think I'll look into that. Thanks.

The Zipyard has franchises dotted around the country. I've used them for jackets a few times. Maybe they could help if there's one near you?

None near me unfortunately, but thanks for the suggestion.

Outdoor shops often do kit repair too.
