Conclusion
The Hood is a very good day bag – and as with the Velo and the Convoy, a well thought out bag for a targeted user. The attention to detail and high quality materials are used throughout the STM range. You can read the reviews for both bags to read more about these things.
So would I use it as my go to bag?
It may not tick the ‘executive apparel’ box for everyone in the looks department, but in a short time that I have been road-testing the bag, it has become my bag of choice. It has the space that I need and the design and quality to protect my valuables.
Highly recommended for those interested in carrying the bare essentials comfortably and less interested in a ‘corporate’ appearance.
