I have carried this a crowded subway commute for 3 months and the D-ring has held up better than I expected. The studded corner is the part I notice most. I am in Cleveland.

★★★★☆

This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The base panel is better designed and the studded corner is easier to use with one hand. I am in Austin.

The rain flap is what sold me and it has not disappointed. The chain anchor survived a rainy a summer festival without any issue. I am in Portland.

★★★☆☆

After 2 months of a conference in San Francisco, the only wear is a slight patina on the lining. The card slot layout is genuinely useful, not decorative. I am in Austin.

I packed this for a a day of errands in the city and it swallowed everything. The D-ring distributes weight well and the reflective loop is a small win. I am in St. Louis.
