The reviewer found the side pockets too small for bottles, while pens and candy bars might fit depending on use. The reviewer found the strap comfortable enough for daily casual walks and shopping trips without needing extra width or padding. The rear zippered compartment can hold an eight-inch tablet and conveniently store the strap when carrying the bag by its handles.
The main compartment provides room for chunky items such as a scarf or packable jacket, according to the reviewer. The reviewer says the front pocket is comically small, with its fabric welt further obstructing access to stored accessories.
