My previous bag failed at the lining within a year. This one is still solid after 2 months of a conference in San Francisco. I am in Kansas City.

The key leash is properly anchored, which is rare at this price. The flat base is a thoughtful touch. I am in Los Angeles.

The top handle is the reason I bought it and the reason I would buy it again. The hidden back pocket is a close second. I am in San Francisco.

This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The main zip is better designed and the padded sleeve is easier to use with one hand. I am in Kansas City.

The size is right for a rainy walk through Capitol Hill. The laptop sleeve keeps its shape and the magnetic flap is placed where you actually need it. I am in Pittsburgh.

The detachable chain is simple and it works. The bottom binding is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in San Diego.

After 20 months of a hike in the Cascades, the only wear is a slight patina on the lining. The studded corner is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Sacramento.

I packed this for a a winter trip to Denver and it swallowed everything. The bottom binding distributes weight well and the front slip pocket is a small win. I am in Dallas.

It has been on 8 months of a crowded subway commute and the bottom binding looks new. The magnetic flap is the kind of thing you notice daily. I am in Seattle.

After 5 months, the handle root is the only thing I have had to adjust. The trolley sleeve still works perfectly. I am in Houston.

I have carried this a ferry ride to Bainbridge for 11 months and the laptop sleeve has held up better than I expected. The key clip is the part I notice most. I am in Atlanta.

I was skeptical about the laptop sleeve at first. Three trips later, it is the reason I keep using this bag for a camping trip in Olympic National Park. I am in Minneapolis.
