The front zip pocket is conveniently reachable by sliding the Portero around while walking, although the bag lacks organizational pouches and key holders. Velcro at the Portero's roll-top helps hold the fabric in place and guides the top into alignment before closure. The reviewer said a 15-inch MacBook fits tightly inside the Portero's internal pouch, which is intended for hydration sleeves, laptops, or papers.
Side pockets suit tall, slim items such as bottles, coffee thermoses, and gloves, while front webbing supports clipped accessories. The reviewer found the Portero comfortable whether empty or full, stable during one-shoulder carrying, and well suited to a long torso.
