I thought the same thing... went to my local store yesterday and liked the Rogue satchel more than I thought I would, but it's weighty even with nothing in it! So I'll carry air in a beautiful bag! I put a few of my things in there, wallet, phone, keys, misc. junk and it got REALLY heavy so I left it. But sad to leave it, it's lovely. I'm just trying to be honest with myself and what I'll pick up and what i won't. Bummer.... I think I'm going to hold out for "down the line" when the Rogue 25 eventually hits a sale, I can carry that one!
