I was skeptical about the base panel at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a ferry ride to Bainbridge. I am in Cleveland.

The lining is properly anchored, which is rare at this price. The trolley sleeve is a thoughtful touch. I am in Los Angeles.

The magnetic flap is simple and it works. The shoulder strap is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Philadelphia.

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

After 15 months of a crowded subway commute, the only wear is a slight patina on the chain anchor. The luggage pass-through is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Dallas.
