The reviewer fits sneakers, gym clothes, and a 28-ounce Yeti in the main compartment while retaining room for additional items. Double zippers serve the compartments, while a loop below them provides a grab handle for moving the bag. The reviewer finds the carry handles padded and comfortable without adding extra bulk or weight to the bag.
Ten O-rings distributed across the main and side compartments provide attachment points, and Tom Bihn includes a key strap. The bag combines ballistic nylon, halcyon ripstop nylon, or Cordura with YKK water-repellant zips and burly hardware, depending on color scheme.
