The reviewer cautions that the bag is slightly longer than average, so travelers should check airline dimensions before using it as a personal item. Exterior zippers are easy for the reviewer to find and grab, while fabric welts cover them for protection from the elements. Bottom straps can hold larger gear such as a yoga mat or tripod, or cinch the bag from below according to the reviewer.
The strap's Duraflex adjuster lets the reviewer set its length, and it locks in place during carrying without slipping. The reviewer found the padded strap and back panel comfortable, with the padding blunting gear pressure and avoiding device corners against the body.
