DESIGN: Five Stars+. Well thought out and engineered. Obviously the product of a lot of intense planning; endless experimentation; and ferocious testing throughout entire process. Someone "did their homework".
FUNCTION: Five Stars. [Really Six or more].
a. "Front" pouch capable of any size beverage container.
b. "Small" pouch

c. "Cell pocket" is spacious; wonderfully padded; ideally positioned.
d. "Large pouch" is accessible either side (for L/R handed users); has multiple, well designed inner pockets, mesh and other designs. A FAIR LARGE AMOUNT OF SPACE.
e. "Covert" or concealed carry pouch, is WELL HIDDEN ON BOTTOM! Relatively well padded, it has a velcro "eye" attachment [as compared to "hook" component of the velcro system] which is generous in size. Clever double zippered access barely reveals that something is there. [When I first explored the unit, I thought, "there's NO COVERT POCKET IN MINE" WRONG! It was so well designed and made as to be "hiding in plain sight"! BRAVO.
f. "Straps and buckles" are well made; the length is excellent; the buckles are all plastic, but appear sturdy;
g. "Cross-body optional strap" is well placed. An excellent idea. I may not need, but if I do, I trust it will work well. CYCLISTS OF ALL KINDS WILL REJOICE.
MATERIALS: Five Stars. Good fabric; strong zippers; excellent zipper pulls with 1.5 inch nylon "handles".
ONE LIMITATION: Single stitching. BUT, if something begins to fail, the bag is worth enough to justify recourse to a local professional for inexpensive repair.
