The reviewer found changing from a tight waist carry to a longer crossbody position frustrating enough to leave the bag behind. The reviewer explains that the strap can move between side and back attachment points for waist, crossbody, or shoulder carrying. The reviewer describes the bag as rather bulky, making it uncomfortable to tuck under a coat as a second personal item.
Although the broad strap has no padding, the reviewer says its width spreads carried weight reasonably well, particularly over extra layers. The front compartment contains two useful pockets behind one zipper, suitable for earbuds, sanitizer, mints, or a minimalist wallet.
