When I'm headed out for the day I can carry all my essentials in the bag without any real hassles or worries. It's displaced my Timbuk2 bag as well as a ThinkTank belt pouch I've used heavily in the past. + +I can get all of the below into the bag comfortably, even if there isn't much room left for 'more'. + +- EDC notebook, pen, pencil +- Sony RX100 camera plus accessories +- Mask +- Keys +- Multi-tool +- Emergency meds +- Battery pack +- Phone +- Wallet + +That's everything I could need or want day to day and if I need more storage I have a custom Timbuk2 small messenger bag with 11L of space. Enough for everything I keep in the Vibe 150, laptop (or equivalent) and more. + +The Vibe 150 bag itself, beyond being the proper EDC size for me, is well constructed and reminds me of how the Timbuk2 bags are built. This bag should survive a bit of rough use and I get the sense it's just as durable as my military grade cordura 1000 back packs. The anti-theft features are also really nice, you're not getting into this bag without me noticing which is helpful when traveling or in new environments. + +I've been using this bag as my primary since I received it and have zero regrets. If you're looking for a small shoulder bag, this is definitely worth considering. + +I tried to come up with more but it really is a simple one this time: if you want a small shoulder bag for EDC duty, this is definitely an item to consider. + +{{< end_section >}}
