I have owned at least four other Healthy Back Bags from AmeriBag, but when I saw that this one is a bit sturdier -- it seems to hold its shape better than the other microfiber versions -- and has a lot more exterior pockets, I had to have it.

I'm not disappointed. I like having more slip pockets on the outside, for stuffing receipts, coupons, or grocery lists, but I especially love a zippered pocket for credit cards or cell phone.  Even my two pairs of glasses (sunglasses and readers) have a handy closed pocket, again on the outside, where they're easy to reach when I'm driving.

The only drawback is that I was hoping for more slip-proof fabric on the strap.  I think I'll have to cut up a mouse pad to sew  the rubber part onto the inside of the strap, exactly where I need it.  Slipping isn't a problem until I use the bag with a slippery down jacket.

As with all my Healthy-Back bags, I sew (or pin) a metal ring on the outside, just above a Velcro-closed pocket, so I can clip my key chain to it, letting the keys themselves drop into the pocket.  That way I seldom have to open the big inside part -- where, when traveling, I keep my small SLR camera, its accessories, and a lot more seldom-used supplies.

I'm glad the bag still squashes a little bit, so I can stuff it into my backpack to make the airlines happy and count the whole package as a single item.  When I get on board, I just pull out the Healthy Back bag and I know where everything is.
