I bought this for a flight to Chicago with a laptop and ended up using it every day. The shoulder strap is the part I would point to first. I am in Cleveland.

I was skeptical about the compression strap at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a winter trip to Denver. I am in Pittsburgh.

I have carried this a market run on Saturday for 4 months and the chain anchor has held up better than I expected. The detachable chain is the part I notice most. I am in San Francisco.

After 15 months of a camping trip in Olympic National Park, the only wear is a slight patina on the compression strap. The padded sleeve is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in St. Louis.

After 18 months, the D-ring is the only thing I have had to adjust. The key clip still works perfectly. I am in Houston.

This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The D-ring is better designed and the flat base is easier to use with one hand. I am in Columbus.

The size is right for a long airport layover. The shoulder strap keeps its shape and the magnetic flap is placed where you actually need it. I am in Houston.
