The rain flap is simple and it works. The key leash is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Minneapolis.

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

The detachable chain is the detail I did not know I wanted. The lining feels over-built in the best way after 19 months. I am in Phoenix.

I packed this for a a market run on Saturday and it swallowed everything. The top handle distributes weight well and the card slot layout is a small win. I am in Kansas City.
