Generally I would go for something more rugged like an old bean bag, But I needed it Right away and had to be sure that it didn't take up a ton of space in my luggage to go to Spain . It doesn't fold down to that pocket thing that I thought it was so I was slightly disappointed but all was forgiven once I started to use it! This thing is awesome! It has an inside pocket inside the big big section. It has a zipper front pocket lightweight straps and A small inner zip pocket. I needed to stay organized going through the city and I did just that. I kept my wallet in my Pocket but other than that it had a place for everything I wanted to carry. I had easy access to clothing, chapstick tissues, chargers, cables, batteries and room left over to put small purchases and my water. It held up well. The black color went with every outfit that I had (Even though I sincerely don't like buying things in black) I just made me look put together. Definitely helped with all the walking around that I did. 7 plus miles a day.
