This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The side seam is better designed and the detachable chain is easier to use with one hand. I am in Indianapolis.

The size is right for a road trip down the coast. The bottom binding keeps its shape and the trolley sleeve is placed where you actually need it. I am in New York.

After 17 months of a long airport layover, the only wear is a slight patina on the main zip. The hidden back pocket is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in San Diego.

Bought this for a winter trip to Denver and it has become the bag I reach for. The laptop sleeve is reinforced properly and the reflective loop still works smoothly. I am in Minneapolis.

I bought this for a red-eye flight and ended up using it every day. The chain anchor is the part I would point to first. I am in Cleveland.

The key leash is the reason I bought it and the reason I would buy it again. The elastic bottle pocket is a close second. I am in Miami.

It has been on 19 months of a market run on Saturday and the compression strap looks new. The padded sleeve is the kind of thing you notice daily. I am in Houston.

I was skeptical about the handle root at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a daily commute on the train. I am in Philadelphia.
