(More customer reviews)Arcteryx makes amazing gear and charges accordingly. Needed...well...wanted...a good shoulder bag so I splurged. Carried for a week on recent UK trip as a camera / go bag. My first time with messenger-style bags. A bit sore on the shoulders - kept switching sides every day. Of course, I could carry less crap in it, that might help. Really don't think it's a padding issue, just a me issue. Very well constructed, but was surprised by some obvious wear around where the strapping connects to the roll closure. The roll closure is genius! Very well executed. Keeps things nice and secure, but bag interior is very easily accessed. Good 'nuff organization inside and on the exterior front pocket. Pocket on the roll closure will hold a small water bottle reasonably secure...until you open the bag. I think that's my main disappointment. Opening releases the tension on the fabric over the pocket which holds the bottle and out it goes; this happened more than a few times. Side pockets are barely accessible when the bag is closed due to the closure - have yet to use them. Cell phone pocket on strap will accept a blackberry if you try, but it's really too small to be convenient. Didn't get to test the weather resistance, but I'm confident it's just fine. Will fit a small notebook. Mineral color is manly enough, but does show the street dirt. Overall, if you like shoulder bags, this is a very solid buy.
