two weeks in Italy
Just finished a trip overseas and really enjoyed this bag. Normally not a sling/pouch kind of guy but knowing we were going to be out all day and wanting essentials handy, but not bulky, this seemed like a good fit and it definitely worked great. Liked the two distinct compartments and felt so much more secure with my belongings inside with all of the security features. I would put in passport, umbrella, collapsible water bottle, wallet, pen light, pens, multi tool, med pouch, selfie stick, etc. Added a carabiner on the fabric loop, but that also worked great for hanging on the pegs on trains, etc. I also added a fabric airtag mount and tagged it for added security in case I left it somewhere. Definitely do plan on using it more anytime I am going out for a long time. Do agree on the strap not always being comfy. With collared shirt was not a problem, but with a tshirt it would rub my neck - I am going to get some sort of fabric cover for that, but for the comfort of knowing the straps weren't susceptible to being slashed was worth it. My two recommendations would be:
1 - add the personal pocket on the body side as others have mentioned. Would have been a convenient place to stash away a few euros. passes, etc.
2 - some sort of tie points on the bottom of the bag - would be convenient to tie off a water bottle, compact tripod/selfie stick, etc.
