I bought this bag to carry on a trip where we anticipated a lot of walking which is not fun with a heavy bag, and a friend suggested this.  Am I glad I listened!  The criss cross feature makes for easy carrying and the design features made it easy to take everything I needed in (for me) a very small space.  There are many sections so items can be divided up and found easily, and I didn't even have to carry a wallet - one section has credit card slots, coin purse, etc.  Now that I'm back from the trip, I still find this bag to be convenient and comfortable and use it often.  I definitely recommend this bag.
