The reviewer found that the weather-protective flap design makes quickly opening the bag harder than expected during use. Its exterior flat back pocket holds several magazines, while the reviewer says its Velcro closure should have been a zipper. The large side pockets accommodate various gear, and the reviewer intended separate pockets for convenient access to a phone and car keys.
The curved flap folds inward along the sides when closed, which the reviewer says keeps rain and dirt out through covered openings. The flap can fold back, but the reviewer says its curved sides and thick artwork make this awkward and require two hands.
