Vote: Which Men's Crossbody Bag?

[jellyv]

DH wants a small and sleek cross-body bag. His requirements are met by these two options made by The Bridge.
The bags are same size, with the same interior layout. One is a bit more expensive, but that won't affect our purchase decision. (Sorry for tiny pics.)

The differences are:

One has a webbed nylon strap, plus it has a magnetic snap closure. It has a leather front logo.
The other has a leather strap and a zip top. It has an oval metal/leather logo.

Q: We live in a climate with real winter, so the bag has to function in all weather. So, does this rule out the snap closing bag? I should mention that this is a rather small bag, only about 8 x 9 inches, so the top area isn't large.

Q: Does one read more masculine than the other? Both are in the Men's line of The Bridge.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Just going on looks alone, I think the one without the gold disc looks more masculine.

They look like nice bags.

Man in my life insisted upon a leather strap--no canvas.
(different style/brand bag, however)

Hope that helps some.

My preference and my SO's is the one with the woven strap. They're both nice though!

Thoughtful responses. Thank you! Let's see if others will weigh in.

Though I own both types of bags I prefer the security of a zip top

Thank you. Security is a consideration, but not a large one.

I prefer the looks of the darker one.
