I bought this bag 3+ years ago for my trip to Europe and it became my every day bag ever since. It’s perfect for travel. The zip closure gives some security against pickpockets and makes it super easy to use the bathroom in less than ideal conditions (you don’t have to hope there’s a hook to put your bag on because you can just wear it without worrying things will fall out).
To me, it’s the perfect size. I can carry phone, wallet, keys and a few necessities (little bottle of meds, hand sanitizer, earbuds, etc.) without it becoming a black hole.
After 3+ years I’m finally getting some splitting in the internal pocket…honestly it’s still usable, but I want to snag another of these bags in case they ever stop making them. (Please don’t.)
