My purchase was based on a wish for a light, secure travel bag. After using this bag for two days as a day pack around town, I am convinced it is a keeper! I use it to carry my mobile phone, a Nexus 7, and assorted other items that bulged in the front pockets of my jeans. A light wind breaker will fit comfortably inside or draped over the bag. The pocket on the back side holds secure docs, etc against my hip or chest. The wide, sturdy strap is very comfortable and allows for a good range of adjustment. Check it out guys, I see plenty of other guys with fanny packs... This is less bulk.
