Simplicity can be a beautiful thing — like with these zip pouches, for instance. The minimal design doesn’t stand out, but it does excel at keeping all of your loose ends nice and neat. Pack in pens and pencils, extra chargers, or your tablet and papers before you toss ‘em in your bag to keep things clean and efficient — so no more digging through layers of receipts and loose change to pull out what you need.

And then there’s the construction. These things are made out of stout, water-resistant cotton duck in a heavy 18 ounce weight, supplemented by a burly #5 zipper and an inside seam that’s bound with cotton twill tape.
