The reviewer struggles to find much use for the two interior side pockets because they are so small. The reviewer reports that the Little America’s wide, heavily padded shoulder straps cushion the shoulders under load effectively. The reviewer likes the included strap keepers because they prevent loose webbing from swinging while carrying the backpack.
The reviewer found the front compartment useful for a phone or wallet, with a zipper-and-magnet closure keeping small essentials tucked away. The reviewer finds the key leash too short and its clip awkward, because keys cannot be pulled far from the worn backpack.
