Almost my ideal bag. Would still like some improvements.
I like the size of the bag. The material used feel very durable and premium. And most importantly it's got a dedicated water bottle holder unlike most crossbody type of bags. I can comfortably fit a CamelBak Thrive Chug Tritan 25oz clear water bottle in the holder without issues. But I think that may be the limit to how big of a water bottle you may want to fit there without it looking overly bulky and awkward. I tried to fit my Owala 24oz bottle there and it's a bit bulky looking. It fits securely but that Owala is insulated and bigger than the CamelBak non-insulated water bottle. One thing that i would like changed is the way it's zipped and the expansion material for it. For the way it zips, I believe it may be beneficial to have it zipped/unzipped in a slightly L shape instead (i.e. zips down as it is now but then continues as an L towards the side of the bag). So that way when it's unzipped it gives more expansion at the bottom, rather than just the side/top. And as for the material used for the unzipped hidden expansion, would like to see a stretchy material used rather than the same nylon as the nylon doesn't provide much give. Therefore a bit tougher to stuff a wider bottle into the holder. Thirdly, would like to see if that holder can be deeper. Looks like it can be simply done by having material at the top of the holder area go higher rather than just ending 2/3's the way up as it is now. Don't believe that these changes would take way from the very nice look of the…
