Its soft recycled fabric keeps weight low; the cinch opening gives broad access and an internal zip pocket secures small items. Testers used side pockets for bottles, an umbrella or quick-grab items, and found it comfortable for hours. A front slip pocket includes a key leash, and a zip pocket can keep a phone or passport less exposed. The team found it convenient for everyday carry and travel.
The fabric can sag, shoulder straps sometimes slide off, and a bottle on one side can make the carry lopsided. Reaching either front compartment requires unsnapping the flap. The sample was the Laguna colorway, which may no longer be available; its revision is unspecified.
