Got this bag for a trip i had to make where i had to bring along my WORK! i didn't want to have to lug my work laptop in the airport and deal with so many bags. i was able to fit my iPad with its keyboard case along with my wallet, all chargers, makeup and several other items. my phones (work and personal) fit perfectly in the strap portion. it was as easy as checking a bag for luggage, this bag by itself all through the airport and a snack bag once i made it through security. the bag even held my bottle of water, keeping me hands free. it seems like no big deal but for someone with high anxiety in an airport and travelling alone as a woman, it made it safer for me to not be fumbling with so many items. i had my phone out only when i needed to schedule my uber and to scan my ticket. my watch was able to handle everything else i needed, keeping my phone tucked away. it's so durable. the zipper is fantastic. no snagging or tearing. easy to clean. i just emptied it and threw it in the wash. it was so inexpensive and worth so much more. it continues to be my favorite bag to use for all occasions that i require to be hands free.

Good first impression.
Just got this the other day & have only taken it out once so far but it seems very nice. It holds my Nintendo Switch, umbrella, power bank, cord & pen in the main compartment with a bit of room to spare. The outer pocket that doesn't zip will just hold an item the size of a game case (as pictured). I use one of the mesh pockets to hold my travel raincoat. This bag is very compact & holds what I typically need with me on my bus rides to work. I will update after some more regular use.

Comfy, Great Fit, Has Some Issues
Edit to add: I never really appreciated how comfortable this bag was until I had to replace it and chose to go with something different. Even though this bag has some issues - see below - it is easily the most comfortable crossbody pack I have ever tried (and I have tried many!)I am 5' 7", around 115lbs, and have narrow shoulders and chronic upper back pain. I'd never really noticed that this thing has padding in the spots that make contact with my shoulder and my back until now. Plus, something about how the weight is distributed with this bag just works well for me. So, yeah. I'll probably end up ordering a new one after all. Maybe I can, like, add super glue to the seams around the phone pouch and replace that clip before it breaks next time.Update October 15 2023: They fixed the zipper on the phone pouch but the pouch still fell apart. The plastic clip is also still a problem. (See pics.)I have now purchased this bag 3 times, most recently in December 2022. This is something I've never done with any other bag or purse, but I really like this one and it's nearly perfect for hiking with my dog and general everyday use. (I ditched my purse and started just using this bag for everything a while ago!)On the most recent bag, I was impressed that they had reinforced the zipper on the cell phone pouch. That zipper had broken on my previous two bags and other reviewers had reported the same issue. This newly reinforced zipper hasn't broken on me yet.However, one of the fabric edges at the bottom of the phone pouch started separating at the seam only a few weeks after I got it and has only gotten worse with time. I've still been using the thing, lol, but at this point it's close to being too big to keep my phone from falling out.Now, if I had applied fabric glue or fray check or even just super glue when it first started I probably could have prevented it from getting any worse and it would have looked good as new, but I just never had the time to mess with it. (Plus, I would've had to use a different bag for at least a day while it dried and I honestly couldn't be bothered.)In addition, a few days ago the plastic clip that clips the strap onto the bag - the thing that makes it repositionable from one side to the other - popped apart. (The same thing happened on my previous bag as well.) I snapped it back in, but it's happened a few more times since then with increasing frequency. Finally, a few days ago it popped apart again on a hike, dumping my bag onto a muddy trail in the middle of a rain storm, so I finally gave in an ordered a different bag. :(Previous review:I bought this in Feb. 2021 to use for daily 3-5mi hikes with my dog. It was so comfy and convenient that it ended up replacing my purse as well, becoming the only bag I've carried until now (July 2022).I love the convenient phone pocket on the strap, the multiple pockets inside the main compartment, the capacity, and the fact that I can switch the strap from left shoulder to right shoulder. I especially love that it has two water bottle pockets on the sides of the bag that easily fit average sized water bottles, allowing me to carry enough water for myself and for my dog in the summer.There are also multiple places to attach a carabiner clip or S-biner to in order to carry a folding water bowl and a poop bag holder for the pup. To top it all off, the strap is wide enough and comfortable enough to make carrying the bag for long distances a breeze.Unfortunately, about 6 weeks ago the cell phone pocket zipper broke. I've actually still been able to use the pocket by tying a broken hair elastic around the it, providing an elastic restraint to hold my Moto Stylus G5 in the pocket -- as long as I don't bend over, it stays put.But then, a few days ago, part of the strap clip popped out. It's a kind of plastic rod that inserts into a socket and allows the strap to spin around in any direction, making it possible to switch the strap from left shoulder to right shoulder. Anyway, I was able to snap it back in, but it has popped out a few more times since then, and each time the plastic piece that holds the socket together wears down a little more. So, unfortunately, I'll need to replace the whole bag very, VERY soon. (Like, now.)That said, other than those two issues, every other part of the bag has held up impressively well. None of the other zippers have broken and there are no tears or rips in any of the seams or fabric. Both water bottle holders are still intact, despite the mesh material. The bag still looks great as well. And I'm really not exaggerating when I say that I have beat the crap out of this thing.While I hate having to throw yet another mostly intact thing into the garbage (and from there into a landfill ☹️), for the price I paid for this bag and the amount of wear and tear it survived I think it was definitely worth the money. I'll also probably buy another one and hope that my next one holds up as well as this one did.

Comfortable, durable, handy, lots of storage yet easy on shoulders and back, lovely look!
Fairly intensive use for 9 months now. LOVE this colour. Love the (small) water bottle holders on each side - perfect for hot long walking travel days or for 1 water bottle and 1 small umbrella. Lots of inside storage and lots of pockets inside and out. Easy to adjust the strap. Strap doesn't dig in to shoulders when the bag is full. Bag is light and seems to be very sturdy, nothing showing any wear yet. Maybe a wash :-) I'll put it in the washer on delicate in double lingerie wash bags - my other washable handbags do well that way. Terrific purchase - highly recommend

It’s perfect!
It’s perfect! After sending back a bag for being too small I was really pleased to find this one. I bought it to use on my cruise (passport, wallet, etc) but I’ve transitioned into using it as my everyday purse. It holds everything. Glasses, phone, wallet, tissues, keys, checkbook. Even my pocket knife and other items for protection. And I sling it forward across my chest so it’s secure and quick and easy access. Really happy with it.

Convenient and Perfectly Size Bag for Traveling and Everyday Use
This is a perfect sized bag for an airline "personal item" when traveling. It's easy to reach everything in the bag without taking it off. Just slide it around to your chest and you have access to everything in the bag. It's not big, but big enough for an e-reader, headphones, reading material, passport, keys, etc. I love that you can keep it close to your chest to resist pick pocketing, too. Much more functional than a traditional backpack. The build quality seems high and I've had no signs of wear and tear after several months of use. It's comfortable, too. I used it for a multi-hour hike in Arizona with no discomfort.

Quality is great.
I have changed my mind back and forth on this backpack. I've had it for about 3 years now. It has held up very well no problems with the quality at all. Plenty of pockets and space to put things. My problem is it's very uncomfortable on my shoulders. It seems like every time I turn around it flipped upside down on my shoulder. I refastened the straps several different ways but still I'm having trouble with it just not turning upside down. I have traveled with it many times on airplanes in autos and on cruises. Still trying to decide whether I want to just give it to one of my granddaughters or just keep using it. I love the color
