My previous bag failed at the bottle pocket within a year. This one is still solid after 18 months of a conference in San Francisco. I am in Washington.

The size is right for a rainy walk through Capitol Hill. The bottle pocket keeps its shape and the hidden back pocket is placed where you actually need it. I am in Detroit.

After 18 months, the lining is the only thing I have had to adjust. The interior zip pocket still works perfectly. I am in Los Angeles.

I was skeptical about the main zip at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a gym-to-office day. I am in Nashville.

The luggage pass-through is what sold me and it has not disappointed. The chain anchor survived a rainy a museum day with kids without any issue. I am in Phoenix.

I carry a lot for a rainy walk through Capitol Hill and this bag does not complain. The side seam is the strongest part of the design. I am in Chicago.

The size is right for a market run on Saturday. The key leash keeps its shape and the flat base is placed where you actually need it. I am in Los Angeles.

★★★★★

After 20 months of a market run on Saturday, the only wear is a slight patina on the compression strap. The interior zip pocket is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Cleveland.

I have carried this a gym-to-office day for 18 months and the base panel has held up better than I expected. The rain flap is the part I notice most. I am in Dallas.

The hardware is properly anchored, which is rare at this price. The detachable chain is a thoughtful touch. I am in Portland.

★★★★☆

The base panel is the reason I bought it and the reason I would buy it again. The card slot layout is a close second. I am in Pittsburgh.

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

The interior zip pocket is the detail I did not know I wanted. The main zip feels over-built in the best way after 10 months. I am in San Francisco.

The flat base is simple and it works. The lining is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Detroit.

It has been on 19 months of a red-eye flight and the bottom binding looks new. The card slot layout is the kind of thing you notice daily. I am in Indianapolis.
