Original review: I haven’t traveled with this yet, but I have several long trips coming up. I like having small bags for flights so I can leave my belt in there, and have my pockets empty so I can scoot through security easily (I hate it when people just don’t understand, empty everything out of your pockets!!!). I’m picky as I used to design and was in charge of inventory of packs and bags for a major outdoor company years ago and so I went over this bag and found nothing wrong with it as far as how it was made. I am 6’3” and around 240 lbs and this bag when the strap is maxed out rides where it is comfortable, my wife is very petite and when adjusted right she likes it too. My old travel bag was just a bit tacticool looking but has been all over the world with me however in Disney it got hot and I decided it was time for a new bag so in steps this little gem. I hope after a trip to panama and to Cuba i will still be as happy as I am now.
Update: so now I have used this bag a lot. Taking my two year old niece to the water park and pool. The wife and I can get two rain leaf towels in it and everything we need so we can have all the kiddos stuff in a bag. Adult bag, kid bag; two vastly different size items. This little bag is killer for that. The little lady and I just got back from the Caribbean where I carried this puppy everywhere. Here is what I found: it is comfortable, we were six inches from the sun and I didn’t mind having this bag on, the neoprene type backing was comfortable enough for all day use. I can fit a ton of crap in it. Phones, passports, money clip, wallet souvenirs. If you are organized it works well. If you stuff and go your screwed. The seems and strap are well done. I hung a water bottle off the strap and on occasion put it in the bag. How did it function, it did exactly what I wanted it to which was free up hands. Again, still love the bag. Now the not so great. I wish it had dual zipper pulls I don’t like that I have to run the pull up and that’s my only option, when traveling I’d like the pulls to the bottom and a loop where I can clip them closed and to the bag so they can’t be easily opened by someone behind me. Not a big deal in a crowd I spun it around and had the bag in front. However this would be a great addition. The only other thing I could nitpick is still not used to only being able to go over one shoulder. I’ll learn, this old dog can be taught, just takes extra time.
Current verdict: best bag like this I have owned, and I have a ton of bags, this is by far my favorite. It’s a heck of a manly fanny pack. Buy one. I just ordered 1.5 L dry sack from osprey because I liked this bag so much. After ZERO experience with Osprey Packs I find myself searching amazon for more bags I don’t need and they have been Ospreys. At least the dry sack was cheap vs the other non essential bags I was looking at! Did I mention to buy this bag?!?
I have a total of 21 more days of scheduled travel this year I will be doing and you can bet your sweet ass that this little guy will be proudly strapped across my flubber and with me every step. I love how they have a top notch warranty as well, hopefully I won’t need it but With as often as I use this, it is completely comforting knowing they stand behind their products.
If I think about it I will add more updates later.
