When I first received this bag I thought it was too small and put it in the closet. Then the seasons changed and I got it out for a change. After using it for several months I have changed my mind on the size. It's actually plenty big without being TOO big and not as small as I originally thought. I like the outside zipper pockets, use them for my cell phone and the pocket between the two zippered outside pockets hold my reading glasses, which makes them easy to get to. I like the turn-key latch, the inside is one big area, not divided into two. Inside pockets are handy and the outside large pocket closes with a magnent, which doesn't work so good if you have too much stuffed into it. All in all, I'll probably buy it in another color for next spring!
