The reviewer considered the sternum strap unnecessary for ordinary daily loads and recommended avoiding it to prevent losing the strap. The reviewer found the large front pocket spacious enough for a sizable tech pouch while noting that its depth warrants care. The front pocket includes a short key clip and three liner pockets, including space for a medium-sized power bank.
The reviewer described the top quick-grab pocket as suitable for sunglasses or smartphones because its interior fabric is very soft. Two pockets behind the back panel provide storage for flat valuables such as passports, wallets, or photographs, according to the reviewer.
