I have carried this a hike in the Cascades for 10 months and the handle root has held up better than I expected. The interior zip pocket is the part I notice most. I am in Washington.

I was skeptical about the main zip at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a bike commute along the waterfront. I am in Denver.

The size is right for a daily commute on the train. The bottom binding keeps its shape and the front slip pocket is placed where you actually need it. I am in Chicago.

After 18 months of a week of work travel, the only wear is a slight patina on the top handle. The padded sleeve is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Salt Lake City.
