The reviewer says the top zip allows the fully packed bag to close, though its dangling tail feels somewhat clumsy. A dedicated zipped compartment is described as suitable for carrying cables, chargers, power banks, and headphones together conveniently. An integrated keychain keeps keys attached, while a pen or stylus loop provides additional storage, according to the reviewer.
The leather lid looks attractive, but the reviewer finds its magnet too weak to provide a reassuring closure for valuable equipment. Although Harber says the fabric is water-resistant, the reviewer notes gaps beside the closures that could admit rain into the bag.
