I've actually seen the Turnlock Hobo in person. I ordered it in chalk and returned it because I found out about the PCE, but I really liked it! My plan was to repurchase the turnlock hobo, but if I like the chalk saddle bag I probably won't. I especially liked the turnlock pocket, and the fact that it zips. As much as I love my Nomad, I wish it had a zip closure. What color are you thinking of getting in that one?
I ended up getting the navy. I don't own a navy bag and it's a good all year color. It's a great bag! Love the zip top and outside pocket!!
