Purchased for wife as a replacement for her purse. She's moved to hip packs due to the versatility in carrying styles and adjustability. This is the best one yet because of the look, size, and just-right amount of organization within the pack. The open pocket was odd at first, but we found that it's perfect for quick stashes of the phone and/or snacks. The very wide strap helps with distributing weight when shoulder-carrying. It seems bigger than the 2L stated capacity claims, and to be honest, she hasn't fully utilized the pack to its fullest, but better to have the space than run out of it. Smaller frames might find this intimidating and awkward to use as a true hip pack, but should be fine when using it as a front or back sling. Overall an easy recommendation if you're looking for a slightly larger pack and plan to occasionally use that open pocket.
