I've had several Healthy back bags over the years and they have all been great. Thisa one is a replacement for the one I have been carrying every day for the last 6 years. Even the old one still looked good leather-wise, but the strap was wearing out. This time I bought the extra-small one, since I don't have to carry as much around with me all of the time, and it is great. It doesn't have the slot for an eyeglass case but that is the only drawback..and one I can easily live with. This is a great bag look-wise and if you have back problems, but I have lots of friends who don't and wouldn't think of carrying anything else. The fabric ones are good too and super when traveling...but try asmall or Medium size for that as the extra-small wouldn't hold everything you need (or think you do) on a trip!
