Cassie vs Bandit: Bandit wins for long walks, Cassie is fine for short errands

The Cassie is lighter but rigid—thin strap, doesn’t conform, digs into your hip after a mile. The Bandit is heavier but distributes weight better with a wider, softer strap that lets you forget you’re wearing it. For multi-hour walks, comfort beats lightness; the Cassie works only for quick city trips under an hour.
