Although the belt-storage compartment works neatly, the reviewer says they probably will not use that feature during their trip. A rear zippered compartment stores the waist belt, and the reviewer says the belt tucks neatly behind the bag. Each waist-belt wing has a small zippered compartment suitable for keys, change, or a small music player.
The main compartment includes a floating flat mesh pocket where the reviewer says a passport and travel papers fit perfectly. Two flat fabric pockets at the front of the main compartment hold a monocular, weather meter, and backup battery charger with cables.
