A bit offtopic and whining, I've found that little pocket almost useless ( I'm not an umbrella user, from the NW ), did anyone at BR do the math of how much volume was lost putting the handles outside versus inside. I get the flat inside but they could have done some other clever engineering preserving flat, internal bar, and a little more space too. The tumi internal was/is also sub-optimal, had a tumi and compared them side by side, was an apple-orange comparison between the two competing TUMI and the BR still better tradeoff for how I travel and pack, but not best for that specific formfactor design IMHO.
I've stuffed socks in it, underwear, but these days settle on putting my vitamin box in it. Indeed surprised that BR continues to stick with it but can see it more now like the grill design of a car, it's signature and you keep it even though it is less than efficient
