The reviewer found the vegan leather handles tiring to hold because their leathery texture was not especially gentle on the hands. The reviewer observed that splashes rolled off the tote’s water-resistant fabric relatively easily during use. The reviewer reports that the handles leave only enough shoulder room for the tote to sit very close against the armpit.
The rear compartment doubles as a luggage pass-through, allowing a rolling suitcase handle to slide through after unzipping its bottom. The laptop sleeve fits devices up to sixteen inches and combines a faux-suede liner with a neoprene flap for protection.
