When worn at the back, the Delta Shoulder Bag positions its small pouch beneath the right arm, where arm movement can cause rubbing. The reviewer finds the Delta Shoulder Bag’s wide Duraflex buckle easy and convenient to use when releasing the bag. The Delta Shoulder Bag’s main compartment combines a wide horseshoe opening with side gussets that prevent the front from folding inward.
The main pouch includes a visible mesh pocket that can hold small items such as wet wipes or tissues. The semi-hidden pocket has a fabric-covered opening and slim space suited to a small notebook, passport, or travel papers.
Reported strengths

Reported trade-offs
