The bag features handles with PORON foam inserts, according to the review's description of the handle close-up photograph. The reviewer finds the main compartment easy to open and close around larger objects because its entrance uses two zippers. Inside, a key tether with a plastic clip lets the user secure a key ring or another chosen item.
Two interior side pockets and a large central pocket give the bag useful internal organization for carried items. The reviewer describes the handle stitching and seamed edges as quite durable after examining them in close-up detail.
