The reviewer finds the two front compartments frustrating to access because they are deep but open through only about half their height. The reviewer finds messenger carrying convenient for everyday use and short walks, whether the bag hangs over one shoulder or crosses the chest. The reviewer says the backpack padding makes the straps comfortable enough, while distributing the bag's weight between the wearer's shoulders.
The main compartment opens most of the way, letting the reviewer see stored contents easily while retaining a backpack-friendly design. The reviewer uses the two deep mesh pockets for cords and hard drives, noting that items have not slipped out.
