I use the bag for years. Biggest advantage: you have everything important always there, it's theft securely stored and still always at hand. An invaluable advantage not only on holiday, if you go with shorts and shirt shop in summer. The bag does not carry on, is therefore almost invisible to the belt loop. In almost daily use every one to two years is a new due because of velcro then is "tired". The price is more than acceptable when you consider the benefits. Strong buy recommendation.
