The water-bottle pockets accommodate large bottles, but the reviewer reports that bottles may fall out during crossbody carrying. The shoulder strap uses Duraflex hardware, and the reviewer found it easy to attach or remove without awkward attachment points. The hidden rear pocket keeps a wallet, passport, phone, and essential documents against the wearer or rolling luggage for added protection.
The padded laptop compartment can hold a 16-inch laptop and offers room for a tablet or similarly shaped device. The front organizational compartment provides multiple storage locations and helps separate technology from clothing in the main compartment.
