I bought this bag to replace my old, traditional healthy back bag. Although it's great that this bag is made out of recycled materials, what I really like about this bag are the many zippered compartments on the outside of the bag. My glasses would always fall out of the back compartment. (Is that spot for an umbrella?) I no longer have that issue because there is a zipper on that compartment. I probably need to get a life since I shouldn't be so thrilled about a bag! Anyway, I hope this review helps if you are looking at this type of bag. Also, take note that the size is perfect (the small size isn't too small for whatever you need to schlep). The strap is long enough to sling it across your body, and is made of non slip material. You won't be disappointed with this bag.
