i lug around a lot of personal stuff everywhere b/c i don't trust certain things in a hotel... this thing kept my sanity in check with peace of mind.... small enough and easy to carry around... big enough for documents / phones / drinks to be kept inside and two side pockets for small water bottles... would purchase another if mine wears out... its survived walking in rain and snow....not recommended for carrying too many gym stuff if you're into traveling with sports stuff. fits basic clothing... one pair pants but nothing much more
