For anyone that knows me, knows that I have a bag obsession! I think it is in my DNA.
In 2010 I went to New Orleans for 7 days. Before I left, I bought a Baggalini like the one pictured above from Bags and All for about $60 Cdn. It was fantastic. All the zippers for all the compartments were great! The water bottle holder was big and easy to use. The strap on mine is different from the picture, it goes across the chest and has a pouch on the handle for a small cell phone. It was really comfortable on my back or in the front of my chest. I was surprised at how much it held. It held my wallet, a wrap, water bottle, souvenirs, iphone etc.
March 2012 I went to Las Vegas for 7 days. On this trip I took my LUG Moped Day pack. I thought it would be similar to my Baggalini. But I was wrong. Now don't get me wrong, I love all of my LUG bags, which I have a total of 6! But the Moped Day pack does not have very many compartments. There is a zipped pocket at the front and one zipped pocket inside. A couple of other pockets inside and one on the back of the bag that has one snap. There is a small zipped packet on the inside of the main flap.
There is a water bottle holder that is great! The LUG bag holds alot.. my SLR digital camera and my telephoto lens, wallet, iphone, sunscreen etc. But it all has to go in the main compartment.
If the pocket on the back with the snap used a zipper instead it would be better. I was scared to put anything in that pocket in case it fell out. Not having as many zipped pockets as the Baggalini and only a large magnetic flap, limits the functionality of the LUG bag.
Further, the magnets in the LUG bag have a nasty habit of de-magatizing the door cards that hotels use.
Next time I travel for more than 3 days I use my Baggalini as my purse and all my other LUG bags for my luggage.
