I am currently living and working in Germany therefore my friends and I get a lot of travel time in during the weekends. I've had my Mountainsmith for over two years now and literally 'wouldn't leave home without it!' It can be used over the shoulder like a purse, carried like a briefcase or lumbar pack, worn like a backpack (with optional straps)...or even attached to your main backpack when on-the-go.

It has room for money, point-and-shoot camera, passport, water bottles etc. I have NEVER had anything taken from me while wearing it...waist strap holds it secure and I put a small padlock through the zipper closures when in crowded situations...no problem.

My dog ate one of the side bungies and the company repaired and returned it before my next trip! Wear and tear...hardly noticable and it's been all over Europe, the US and Puerto Rico several times!
