(This review is from my husband). I don't know when I got the first one, but it was over 10 years ago. It has held up well to daily use but is finally starting to look a little tatty around the edges. Now I keep the old one as a "bait bag" when I'm out with known pickpockets or bad guys. With just a few plastic cards (credit cards, ID cards, memberships, etc.) and $10-15 bills, it easily fits in your front pocket if you're concerned about security. I often have to check my back pocket to make sure it's there because it's so light. The only downside is that large foreign bills can stick out from above.
