I'm not one to often leave reviews, but after living with this bag for several months, I feel compelled! It is my constant companion. I use it instead of a small backpack for dayhikes; as a carry-on for my laptop, iPad, phone, water, etc. while traveling; throw my 32 oz water bottle and an extra layer in it for going anywhere.
The smaller top zipper pocket is perfect for my phone, wallet and other small items I want to access easily. iPad goes in the larger zippered pocket. Glasses, sunglasses, pencil and pens go in the front pocket. I love the magnetic locking buckles and the bright contrasting golden inner liner.
I'm outside and on the trail quite a bit. I have made no attempt to clean this bag in the couple of months I've had it, and it still looks great! Maybe just a little more authentic for the bits of dust here and there.
I was a bit dubious about spending so much for a sling bag, as others I were looking at were half the price, but I'm glad I did. I'll be living with this bag for a long time! Well designed and flawlessly executed. And tough. I don't expect it to wear out!
