I love everything to do with my Day Owl bag. I opted for the combo- Bag plus cord pouch, and I am so very pleased. The material is sturdy, and tough while still being soft and pliable. There is no doubt that this is the best bag I have ever owned. Its thoughtful design allows me to hold more than I have been able to with any previous bag while distributing the weight comfortably on my back and maintaining a small and compact silhouette on my back. I truly do not know how they achieved this impossibility. I only hope Day Owl will continue to develop other bags like messenger/bicycle bags and more. The bag was true to color and exceeded my expectation in every measurable way. Thank you Day Owl. You have earned my business and my recommendation without any hesitation!
