 Excellent......my new favorite accessory. September 25, 2006

This bag is GREAT. It is a heavyweight fabric and super durable...this will last forever. The perfect size for my books and PC. Plenty of pockets for my pens and other stuff. Also the same bag used by Jack Bauer on the TV show 24 on Fox....if you want to see what it looks like. I ordered it with the Andrew Christian Vintage Pin which is really cool and a great accent for the front of the bag!

I thought this bag would be just what I wanted, cheap and functional, but now I'm planning to throw it away and spend $39 for a better one from LLBean. The problems I had:
1) After only a few months, seams are tearing apart in several places. The main seams that hold the bag together are okay, but the edging of the bag is coming off in places and there's a hole getting bigger in one of the dividers inside.
2) I thought having three separate compartments inside the bag would be very useful, but one of the dividers isn't sewn all the way down to the bottom, allowing the smaller stuff to swim around from one compartment to another.
3) The shoulder strap is too thin, which is quite uncomfortable when I load the bag down with books. The thin pad on the shoulder strap is insufficient, and it's always sliding down or around anyway, so I have to adjust it nearly every time I pick the bag up! Now I'm getting a bag with a shoulder strap that's broad and padded its entire length so I can swing the bag on without having to think about it.
4) I got the khaki bag with white Guadalupe decal, and it was already beginning to peel off *when the bag arrived*. Now after a few months, it's flaking off in tiny bits all over, and it's also gotten dirty. I can see that washing the bag will only make it flake off faster. It's just going to look worse and worse.
5) With no padding, the bag doesn't keep its shape unless there's a big stiff folder inside. That gets annoying after a while, because it's harder to root around for your stuff in a big shapeless bag.
I give the product two stars because at least it was very cheap. It would be fine if you only wanted to carry lightweight stuff and didn't mind the decal shredding off. But if you need to carry heavy books I'd definitely cough up for a higher quality bag.
It's The Jack Sack! February 1, 2007

If you're a fan of "24" and Jack Bauer, this bag is a must have. Not only is it extremely well-priced, it is durable and surprisingly roomy inside. The side pockets are useful and the material is thick and well-made.
As a lark, I googled the words "jack sack" and found some pretty funny articles online. Try it out and see what kind of subculture you're touching upon when purchasing this item! Poeple may be coming up to you on the street asking about your bag. :)
Excellent bag, excellent delivery! February 10, 2007

My bag arrived several days ahead of the scheduled delivery date. It was in excellent condition and almost precisely as advertised. The color is slightly darker than the product images indicate, and more grey than OD-Green, but I actually like it better that way.
The bag is made of very sturdy materials and has plenty of space. I suspect it is going to last me a very long time. I ordered a version with artwork on the flap, and the quality of the heat transfer is excellent. It even endured being folded while shipped...something that cheaply done transfers don't do well.
There is a lot of space in this bag, and it easily holds my 15" laptop and several other items. Since it is a basic, military, messenger-style bag there is no padding (something I knew prior to purchasing). So while the bag is sturdy and can take a lot of abuse, electronic equipment on the inside will not. You may want to consider getting a neoprene slip-cover for your computer if you're prone to tossing the bag around. It will give a bit of extra cushion, and protect the casing from scratches and dents.
My computer fits perfectly with many other items, however 17" or larger notebooks may have a tight fit if you're planning on carrying a lot of other things with it. The outside pockets are huge and can carry pens, pencils, iPods, cellphones, even a water bottle or two. No wonder Jack Bauer had everything he needed to save the world....he had enough room to pack it!
Very good product, very good service (when I don't have to contact the seller for any reason, I consider that the best service of all). Highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a large, durable messenger-style bag.
I have uploaded several product images to show actual color and relative size, so be sure to check those out.
I should have saved my money September 17, 2007

I bought this courier bag because I was in dire need of something that could transport all my junk around campus; this was defintely not the bag for me. It can barely hold my bio, psy, and music books without looking like it's going to split, I have no idea who that one guy stuffed 5 laptops into it.
Then there's the strap, how on Earth can anyone over 5'6 find this comfortable? I'm 6'4 and this thing looks (and feels)like a purse on me, I had to pull a strap off one of my travel bags just to make it hang past my chest!
I guess if you're housed in a small-bird like frame then this is the bag for you; for everyone else I recommend looking elsewhere...
