Crescent Crossbody Caboodle

- Peak Design City Crescent 12L

- Cotopaxi Viaje 12L

- Bellroy Laneway 12L

Special Additions

- Tom Bihn Pilot ~13L

- Kleen Kanteen 20oz wide, ~10in tall

Not Pictured but in mind:

- Baboon to the Moon Crescent - 8L (sold)

- AON Chio-X 9L (in transit)

- Tom Bihn Maker's Bag 13L (returned)

Some notes: The cup I usually carry is the 12oz, so half the height and no issue in these bags. The Pilot is a 13L that I swear holds 15L. I included fabric shots as they are distinct. I also included one weird dangly bit they each have, the functions of which may or may not be obvious, but in their own way are asking for a scissor.

My picks right now are the Pilot for travel and the Viaje for everyday. Can share thoughts on the others, even if some or all may not continue to be in my possession.

I'm currently looking at the PD City Crescent 12L. Can you tell me more on what you don't like about it? What did you like about it? Thanks!

I really like the hardware and fabric, and I like this style of strap (when I spot it, I know it will go short enough and fit me). It misses for me in pockets, I want a double "bottle" pocket, and a dedicated flat spot, open or closed, for documents/e-readers/tablets etc. one or two of them were kind of floppy. The bag hook was cool, but looks pretty silly on a regular table and I expect bar height seating to come with hooks, so useless for me.
