The adjustable sternum strap is convenient for fine fitting, although it can slide because no mechanism firmly locks it. The side mesh bottle pockets accommodate different sizes securely, while their elastic openings keep smaller bottles from slipping out. Reviewers found the updated top and side handles comfortably padded, making the bag easier to lift from vehicles or overhead compartments.
During walks and bike rides, the thickly padded shoulder straps remained comfortable without creating pressure points for the reviewers. The hip-belt pockets provide useful nearby storage, but the substantial belt becomes noticeably rigid when carrying a phone.
