The reviewer describes tarpaulin as weather-resistant because water beads off, while cautioning that it scuffs more easily than nylon. The reviewer appreciates that the shoulder straps stow behind the back panel, while all four handles remain comfortably padded. The water bottle pocket holds a slim bottle securely despite lacking elastic, and it remains usable when the bag is sideways.
The bottom pocket serves as an accessible shoe compartment and includes a mesh pocket plus built-in key clip. The reviewer finds compressing the bag laborious and slow, although the resulting package is no larger than a standard football.
