While planning a trip to Europe I was a bit nervous about pick pockets and the safety of my passport.  I was traveling alone.  I stumbled across this bag and not only did it make my travel more safe, it made juggling all my carryone items manageable.  The bag is very light weight despite the metal reinforcements and held everything i wanted it to: my digital SLR with 3 lenses in a padded sleeve, ipad, iphone, wallet, sunglasses and had room for souveniers and even a light sweater along the way.  I live and work in Chicago and now this bag has become my everyday bag for work, it can fit files, lunch containers, etc.  The best part is the material is water proof so nothing gets wet on the inside and it still looks great even after a heavy downpour.  Even better, the strap is adjustable so you can wear it across your body or shorten it for a shoulder bag.  It's a big bag, but don't let that deter you, it's light weight when its empty and still looks great!
