The bag is very well constructed, water-repellant and water-proof and you won’t have any issues in the rain with water leaking inside. The leather Tumi is made of great quality genuine Nappa leather. You have roughly 8.5 x 2.5 inches space in the zipped pocket and will be good for your smaller items. The hook is located- folded up in the top flap and you can hang your stuff nicely.

You can also take the bag to a Tumi store and they can monogram it for you just above the center Tumi emblem.
