All the ones I saw were either made of leather or imitation leather and were too heavy - I wanted one made of fabric similar to the nylon that backpacks are made of. After hunting high and lo, I finally found what I was looking for at Kathmandu.
It came in three colours - red, black and grey (they call it granite). Now I love red, it's one of my favourite colours, but I didn't want the red - it'd stand out like a sore thumb - too easily noticeable. Didn't fancy the black either, but the grey one I did like - sort of conservative and doesn't stand out. In other words, being a dull colour, it doesn't scream "Look at me"!

There's only one small problem. On the inside where the pockets for holding your passport are, the pocket on the left is slightly narrower than the pocket on the right, which means you can't slide your passport in as easily. I had thought of going back to Kathmandu and exchanging it but then thought, why worry about it - the other one might be just the same. I'll just make sure I use the right hand pocket.
Luckily for me, there was a sale on. The normal price was $40, but with the sale, it cost me $24.95. Now I just have to figure how to keep it safe!
