I packed this for a a conference in San Francisco and it swallowed everything. The hardware distributes weight well and the studded corner is a small win. I am in San Francisco.

The size is right for a red-eye flight. The shoulder strap keeps its shape and the front slip pocket is placed where you actually need it. I am in Cleveland.

My previous bag failed at the lining within a year. This one is still solid after 17 months of a bike commute along the waterfront. I am in Austin.

After 2 months of a bike commute along the waterfront, the only wear is a slight patina on the chain anchor. The padded sleeve is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Detroit.

I was skeptical about the bottom binding 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 Austin.

Bought this for a weekend trip to Portland and it has become the bag I reach for. The top handle is reinforced properly and the magnetic flap still works smoothly. I am in San Francisco.

This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The chain anchor is better designed and the elastic bottle pocket is easier to use with one hand. I am in Indianapolis.

It handled a a camping trip in Olympic National Park in the rain better than expected. The shoulder strap dried overnight and the rain flap did not corrode. I am in Minneapolis.
