The card slot layout is the detail I did not know I wanted. The side seam feels over-built in the best way after 6 months. I am in Charlotte.

The size is right for a market run on Saturday. The lining keeps its shape and the front slip pocket is placed where you actually need it. I am in Indianapolis.

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

I was skeptical about the chain anchor at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a rainy walk through Capitol Hill. I am in Portland.

I packed this for a a daily commute on the train and it swallowed everything. The bottom binding distributes weight well and the elastic bottle pocket is a small win. I am in Los Angeles.

I carry a lot for a long airport layover and this bag does not complain. The chain anchor is the strongest part of the design. I am in Washington.
