Timbuk2 Minnie Rae Shoulder Bag Review

I was looking for the perfect little bag to throw in my bike bag and have for lunchtime walks at work. This is that and then some. I had the Haiku Rumi Pouch before, but it has a design flaw (the fabric that holds its strap to the pouch broke, and it seems to be a common complaint.) I grudgingly got this bag, hoping it would work, and not thrilled about having to add a wallet. However, this is better than the Haiku bag, by far, for my purposes. Aside from being as sturdy as you would expect a Timbuk2 bag to be, it is a great size, perfect for someone who wants to carry a minimum of stuff but still big enough to take more than just the barest essentials. I can throw in makeup, thin wallet, gum, keys, Luna bar... and there's still room!
The adjustable shoulder strap is very sturdy, the construction seems great, I love the kicky pattern on the inside.... and it doesn't look overly casual in black. Love this bag!

Keep things simple with a compact shoulder bag designed to transport just the essentials - such as your smartphone, wallet and keys. A stylish liner throws a dash of fancy in the mix, and a key tether ensures you won't end the day locked out of your house.

Just received this pack, I bought it to use as a day back for a Boundary Waters trip. I wanted something I could pack in my main pack and pull out once we got there, and this fit the bill.
My first impression is that it is quite a design... someone gave this a lot of thought. I'm glad it came with the sternum strap because it will probably make it much easier to hike and not constantly have to pull up the straps on your shoulder. I think I will be able to fit everything I need... the water bottle holders stretch, and look like they can accomdate a rather large and tall bottle.
I will be interested to see out it holds up in the rugged outdoors.. that is probably my only worry. I have a feeling it is more designed for urban use. It is VERY lightweight, which is great for packing... the material feels pretty durable, but I guess we'll see how it holds up with snags and what not. I do think it will make a fantastic airplane carry on.... very compact and light, and you can fit plenty into it.
Overall I'm happy with this... I would recommend it. It is very innovative and I can see myself using it fairly often.
