Padded straps that are the perfect length for shoulder carrying, luggage sleeve, full zipper top, front hidden full length zipper pocket for passport, wallet, phone, etc. It was a last second purchase as I needed something that day and was around $30 at a Bentley. I wasn't expecting to love it but, boy, do I love it. It has been on every trip since, including some two day trips as my only piece - it holds that much. In fact, it is with me now on a trip. It still looks as new as the day I bought it despite almost constant use. Probably my best ever travel bag purchase.
Luggage sleeve
I know you're on a trip, but are you able to tell the depth of it (not how tall, but how deep or wide it is inside?) I don't know if I'm explaining it right. It looks very similar to the tote I have now that just wasn't big enough for me inside, but the one I have wasn't deep enough inside. I had ripped out the laptop pad to make more room inside and I still struggled.
