The discreet external bottle pockets are relatively small and suit narrower bottles, while thicker insulated containers may be uncomfortable. The stable strap and padded shoulder support allow comfortable carrying over one shoulder, cross body, or across the back. The canvas grips cotton clothing during cycling, limiting movement, though the optional stabilizer strap would help over synthetic jackets.
The larger messenger also served as a compact overnight bag holding clothing, a laptop, toiletries, a bottle, and camera equipment. With a larger laptop and moderate load, the main flap left the sides near the computer without complete coverage.
