First off I added a star for the $41.99 price tag for the Chromium colorway, which I think is the nicest looking color in person. It’s not shimmery or as loud as I thought it would be, but definitely visible on your back if you’re riding a bike on a city street.

I love the two front pockets, the two inner net pockets, and sleeve that could fit a tablet or a small laptop (maybe 13 in or less)- keep in mind it’s not padded.

Overall can fit most of my every day carry in here to make it a casual messenger for an errand run, work, or a trip to the bar.

My main gripe is how it sits when you ride a bike. On a fixed gear I’m usually hunched over, so the bag will slide no matter how tight you adjust the strap. On an electric bike where I’m not as hunched over, it still slides over to my rib where I need to adjust it mid ride.

If there were a stabilizer strap like older models (such as the tote models from Chrome a couple years back), it would’ve bumped up this to a 5 star rating. Otherwise if it wasn’t on sale I would’ve put it at 3 stars or consider exchanging it toward another bag more suitable for riding.
