The fanny-style configuration provides another wearing option, but the reviewer finds it less comfortable than crossbody mode. The reviewer finds diagonal crossbody wear most comfortable, with the bag positioned near the arm’s resting point. The bag can slide slightly downward during use, particularly when the reviewer loads it fully with gear.
The concealed rear pocket securely holds flat items such as a phone or passport and offers quick access through its magnetic closure. Two stretchy polyester interior pockets accommodate differently sized small items, including a wallet, earbuds, cables, and dongles.
