Great for travel
Used my portable messenger bag for international travel this week, wanting something light and bigger than my Waterfield purse to hold my passport case, usual purse items, four eye glass cases, brush and comb, notebook, and two wallets. I did not have to take off and get into my back pack while in transit to or from the airports. Very convenient, I recommend.

Plenty of Room and Comfy for the Long Haul
So I needed to make a long day trip wherein my small crossbody purse would not suffice were I forced to layover, but did not want to take my full-size carry-on either. We own several other Waterfield bags and this one also did not disappoint. It is well stitched throughout, with a nice wide strap. My small purse fit inside nicely with plenty of room for my other gear, including the two handy pockets. It was on my old self for several hours and the strap made it quite comfortable. I’m sure this handy crossbody bag will get used for many years to come!

Spacious and Comfortable EDC
I decided to try this out as a crossbody alternative to a (beautifully) aging Sutter Sling Pouch. This messenger bag has a surprising amount of space. Thanks to the generous 3” width, it can easily carry a 13” MacBook Pro in a sleeve, an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard, a fully packed Shinjuku Tech Organizer, a Dynamic Duo leather glasses case, two phones, and there is still room left over. For EDC without the MacBook and iPad this bag is a lot more comfortable than the Sutter Sling Pouch. It feels like a pillow. Life Hack Alert: Just like the Sling Pouch, I can wear this while driving and have all my essential items handy in front of the steering wheel. The build quality and materials are second to none. It’s an easy five stars! Thank you Gary & WaterField for designing this great bag.
