Solidly made with durable materials. Perfect bag for my particular bushcraft/foraging needs. The only area where it’s flawed is none of the external pockets/compartments are secure when in a tilted or upside down position. Stuff can fall out. I knew this when I purchased it so I can’t complain but, if you buy this bag you should buy some sort of snap instillation kit. I got one that was really inexpensive but functional. Installed 3 snaps for main compartment and 1 snap for the 2 external compartments. The other 2 external compartments have a snap on an internal loop that I don’t quite understand but it’s a snap that works well just the same. The strap is durable and easily adjustable and plenty long enough so to me this bag is kick ass. I’ve always had to alter certain aspects of any pack/bag I’ve used for my style of bushcraft so I’m not complaining one bit. High quality item. I don’t think I’ll ever have to replace it unless somehow gets lost. Read more

I have had this bag for a month and really love it. Roomier than expected. I currently carry a yearly planner, my tablet, small bag with all of my chargers, a pouch bag for headphones, a scarf, gloves and a hat in the inside. The three outer pockets hold my phone, water bottle and various other things. I have put a change of clothes in this bag along with the regular things (without gloves and scarf but they probably would have fit). So far it is very sturdy and comfortable to carry. I love the color and the, so far, durability. Not a stiff bag, which is nice. My only a qualm is the Velcro. There is a long strip across the underside of the flap and two short strips on the bottom of the front two pockets. With as much as you can fit in this bag, the pocket strips, which are vertical, should be longer as the bag expands. But no problem so far. When it arrived it was folded many times and very securely wrapped. Creases from the folding went away quickly. Also, it has a wide strap and is again, comfortable to carry. No need for an outer flap pocket, you can access things easily in the side pockets which have snaps to close them. Perfect for putting your phone in. Read more

I bought this bag for use in college, and it had been satisfactory. Product Description: --One main Compartment to store books, laptop, and other things. --Two spacious pockets under the main flap. These pockets are not sealable, meaning there is no zipper, velcro, or button to secure these pockets shut --Two smaller pockets on either side of the bag. Good for holding water bottles / mugs, although they can be used for other things like phones, pens, pencils, etc. These pockets are held shut by a single button --A small, zippered compartment hanging inside the main compartment. This holds small items like pens, pencils, chapstick --Adjustable strap --The main flap is held shut by two convenient velcro pads Pros --The main compartment is very spacious and can easily hold a large laptop and several textbooks / books --The bag is very fashionable and has a slightly rugged feel --The strap is adjustable and can be adjusted to very short or very long lengths --Pockets are very spacious and can hold lots of items Cons --The bag is soft and flexible since it is made purely of cloth, so it does not offer much books and papers. I find that other messenger bags have some kind of harder, protective backing so that books and papers do not bend. However, this bag is made purely of cloth, so papers and books may get bent. To solve this, I usually put a something hard like a laptop, binder, or clipboard in the bag so that the bag maintains its shape --The two pockets under the main flap do not close. Since there is no zipper or velcro to hold these pockets shut, some items have a chance of falling out. In my experience, the pockets seem to hold items well, but it would be better if there were a zipper or velcro for extra security --Only one main compartment. Other messenger bags may divide the main compartment into several sections for better organization, but there is only one (large) compartment here Final Word: Overall, I am very satisfied with the bag. I have not run into any major flaws yet. The cons I mentioned tend to be minor, but I listed them just so that you know exactly what you are buying when you purchase this bag. I'd say the best thing about the bag is the look. Somewhat rugged, not overprofessional look, which is perfect for college students, or young adults. Read more
