 Just what I needed! January 31, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased this bag as a replacement for my purse and as a way to carry my notebook, planner and some reading materials. I like the fact that it doesn't look too huge to carry around and yet it has tons of room! I can't imagine ever filling it up all the way, but I'm sure it is possible. I have been very impressed with this bag so far. It is made of very sturdy materials and feels like it should last for years. The view of the inside in the photos looks kind of rough, but the actual product is very nicely finished inside and the whole thing looks well-made. I did notice the occasional stray fiber woven into the fabric that looks like burlap? They aren't very noticable and I think they add to the rugged charm of the bag. I like the fact that there isn't a zipper to the main conpartment which makes it easy and quick to access my stuff. The front pockets are really roomy and hold all the stuff I used to keep in my pocket book plus a few extras. The side compartments are nice and have snaps at the tops to keep things more secure. I do wish it had a few more inside compartments for cell phone, wallet, etc. but it works fine as it is. It might loose some of its charm if it were more complicated.
The actual color is nothing like the photo, which in my opinion is ugly. I was looking for a servicable bag, and wasn't overly concerned with its appearence so I ordered it anyway. I was very pleased to see that it wasn't drab brown. It is actually a very classy gray-green color, leaning on the side of a stormy sea-green in my opinion. Its quite pretty, a much prettier color than Army green and more unique. The strap is wide and comefortable, and has a wide adjustment range. I have problems with my back so I prefer bags with long straps so I can carry them with the strap across my torso, and this bag is very comefortable to carry that way.
If you are like me and have the need to carry a notebook and/or school books along with your wallet and cell phone, this would be a good choice. It can be filled as little or as much as you need and looks great doing it to boot. I love it! I usually buy used gear, but I couldn't find a used bag that had what I needed. This one has lots of charm and the potential for customization. This was definately a good investment.
24's Jack Bauer - Man Purse September 28, 2006

This bag rocks!!! I don't normally carry bags, because it makes me feel like girl, but this so manly. Jack Bauer has one and uses it for everything, so I totally had to buy one. The only man purse I will ever carry.
An excellent choice June 2, 2007

Very roomy but not hugely oversized bag, lots of useable space and good pockets. Sturdy and seems well-made, holds a lot of stuff. Well worth the price.
 Minor Problem January 14, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was very excited to receive this bag. I am using it to tote work, my lunch, my purse, phone, office supplies, etc. with me to and from work. It fits everything perfectly and seems to be sturdy and well constructed. Minor problem -- the inside zipper pocket arrived broken. When I went to zipper it for the first time the zipper pull just came right off of the end and I have not been able to fix it myself. It appears to be missing the "stopper" at the end. I am not going to send it back because I don't want the hassle over a little inside zipper pocket but that is the cause of my less then 5-star review. It is disheartening to receive a product that is already "broken". Also, I did not want to deduct stars from the product but I was disappointed that I did not receive any communication from the company or tracking information. I have come to rely on the communication from being an Amazon Prime member and when I order from other companies that don't do that I find that I miss it very much. The bag itself is nice and roomy, stylish in an unassuming way and the color is perfect -- I would recommend this to my friends.
TWO DIFFERENT BAG TYPES! Get the right one. April 17, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If it wasnt apparent from the pictures, there are two different bag types (at least).
I liked the velcro bags more (they have the two piece of material on the outside flap). They have one giant pouch, with a small one on the inside that closes by zipper. Also has two bottle pouches on the outside, very nice... as well as two smaller pockets on the front that are very roomy.
The other bag, the one with the latch... i dont even use the latch myself, though i guess it's more secure. It also seems flimsy. The bag has three dividers in it that dont connect to the bottom, its strange. No bottle pouches, a strange strap, and the outer pocket, well, if you put anything that bulges (like an apple) in there, the whole bag poofs out (but the velcro bag does not... much).
Go with the velcro bag, i love it.
Check my pictures.
