Perfect size for Ipad, travel guide, wallet, small water bottle in side pocket. My husband and I brought 4,000 euros with us on our trip to Italy since we had to pay for B&Bs in cash.  The locking zippers, slash proof fabric gave me a great since of security although I was vigilant in train stations.  The bag empty was fairly light weight.  I will use this on future trips.  I bought the midnight blue and had no issues with the dye.  My only complaint is that the Velcro would catch on my beautiful sweater and pretty much tore it up.
