As soon as I saw this bag drop I knew I wanted it! Simple design with a wide ass mouth to house all my junk while keeping said junk totally water proofed.
Some of the more valuable features I’ve found are the padded back that I’ve learned to love with other Chrome Industries bag like the Yalta (for reference… it’s the only other bag I’ve owned with the same backing), the “wide ass mouth”, the padded laptop sleeve, the longer handles (if I were to fill up the bag to its capacity [no easy task] I still have an easy way to pick it up. It’s the simple things), the front buckle clip has a little extended metal piece PERFECT for cracking open my beverage of choice, and the strength to weight ratio. This bag is so light and strong (aka Knurled Welded).
If you look closely to the two clips on each side of the rolltop you’ll see they are alternating clips. What does this mean? It means that you can either utilize securing the rolltop the way it comes… OR you can roll it and clip it to itself thus utilizing the side straps to wrap around the front to secure whatever packages you may have. I was blown away when I found this out and have yet to capture it being utilized this way.
When I first loaded the bag for a longer ride It appeared to have a limitation of separation within the main compartment. This was easily overcome when you look at the padded laptop sleeve as another compartment to house your cell chargers, wallet, keys, and so on. It does really well to keep electronics protected from those ice cold cans of adult beverage you don’t want sweating all over your cables or computer.
Really this bag embodies everything I love in a bag. Style, easy access, large capacity, and the throw x go mentality that works really well for my “organization” skills all while keeping protected from the elements.

OH… did I mention this bag is covered for LIFE!! FOR. LIFE!! Chrome… always nailing it.
