I got stuck with the bag after amazon quietly changed its return policy, and it got packed away during a move. I found it again right before going on vacation and decided to give it a try for the trip. Well, the bag has become one of my favorites. There's a long, zippered pocket on one outside side that is perfect for maps, tickets, etc. The two small zippered pockets on the opposite side are great for smaller things. The bag is even adjustable to be wider to stash away small souvenirs or whatnot. The strap is adjustable and long enough to be worn cross-body or shortened to be a shoulder bag. The material is lightweight (so there's not an extra two pounds of bag) but very durable and water-repellant. All around a great bag!
