But, boy, this would be near perfect if it had an exterior zip pouch on the instead of the leather squares for straps. Really, this is not a pack for strapping stuff to. I'd rather have quick access to a zip pouch where I could keep phones, keys, passport, charging cables and other incidentals. I've hauled this thing to South Africa, Ireland, England and plenty of other destinations via car and airplane. I've stuffed a lot into it but an exterior pouch would be da bomb for convenience.
