OIWAS Messenger Bag for Men 15 6 Inch Laptop Crossbody Bags Women Casual Satchel Shoulder Bag College Travel

Bought this to replace a slightly smaller Timbuktu bag I'd been using for the better part of a decade. It's probably not as waterproof, but it has way more utility. It has tons of different pockets for organization, a few of which have zippers to keep specific items contained. I especially like that there's one smaller zippered pocket on the outside flap for things I want to keep more readily accessible, but I could also choose one of the many pockets just under the main flap as well. I take this thing everywhere, and because of the nice gray color I chose it goes with anything. It's packed full of the essentials, as well as other random things I carry around for one reason or another. Usually it stores: -32oz insulated water bottle -My chosen coffee vessel that day -Keys, wallet -Epipen, ballpoint pen, sharpie, field notes paper pad, small flashlight -Chapstick, ear plugs, eye drops, medications, small container of product I put in my hair, hand fan. -Cell phone charger, battery pack, kindle. -Yoyo, hacky sack (never know when I need to entertain a child or a small group/myself). -Occasionally a glass food container where I keep my lunch. Minus the food container, I have also packed all of the above plus a change of clothes for when I spend the night somewhere, or go to the gym. Or I'll put my laptop and padfolio in there for errands or meetings. I don't work in business, but I feel like this would work great for someone who does. It stores all of this quite comfortably, I haven't yet loaded it to its full capacity where I'd have to lengthen the buckle straps to keep it closed and secure. I also like that it has a carrying handle on top that is out of the way until I need to grab it, like when grabbing it from the passenger seat when I get out of my car before I put the shoulder strap on. I like that it has two vertical cup holder type pockets on either side inside the bag. I usually lay my big insulated water bottle flat on the bottom, and my coffee mug in one of those pockets. I've had issues with a few leaking in the past. I think one could fit the big water bottle, but I prefer its weight distributed along the bottom. I could probably fit a small umbrella into the other one if I wanted. One time I didn't thread the cover of my water bottle on correctly and it leaked inside the bag. I was able to pour most of the water out (so it does seem somewhat water proof) and the bag dried out within half a day. If I were to improve this bag, I wouldn't mind if it had a little more structure to it. My old bag was of a heavier waterproof vinyl fabric, this one can buckle a little in the middle at times. Not a big deal. I'd also like some loops to keep my pens and flashlight in place and right side up inside one of the pockets, but this is also a small gripe and one I might just fix myself with a little sewing and a strip of elastic. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase, and would recommend this bag to anyone. The build quality is good and I imagine I will be able to use this bag for many years to come. Read more

Absolutely perfect size for anyone who carries a lot more than their laptop when they go somewhere. I have easily fit my kindle, back up phone charger, multiple cords, wallet, keys, an embroidery hoop with all necessary tools and skeins of floss, plus various odds and ends, and had room to spare. The canvas appears to be very tough and durable. The shoulder strap is comfortable. And it looks great in general, with a nice vibrant color (I got purple). Read more

This is probably the best messenger bag I've ever used. It has so many pockets and compartments and it can comfortably hold everything I need it to (I weighed it once and it was 13 pounds). The one nitpick I have is that it only has one ring that the strap attaches to and it's plastic, not metal. The other end of the strap is sewed directly on to the bag. I can be rough on things so I'd prefer the sturdiness of metal or even for both ends of the strap to be sewed on, even though I wouldn't then have a place to clip on my keys. Still a great bag overall though. ETA that I've been using this bag daily for almost a year now, and my concern about the strap not being sturdy is so far unfounded. It's not showing any signs of wearing out yet, but I decided to order another one, just because I know eventually it will need replacing and I'm absolutely spoiled by this bag. I don't want to take the risk that by the time it wears out this storefront has been closed or something and I can't find another just like it. Read more

overall the bag is as advertised. I've had it for 2 years now and it's still holding up except for some flaking of the reflective material on some of the edges, and the buckles holding the flap have cracked and are no longer functional. I rarely fastened them anyway. overall it's functional and I like the pockets, but ultimately I don't reach for it very often because the material is very plasticky and is noisy when brushing against fabric. I also don't like how stiff the bag is even after all this time as I don't use it for a laptop. I only bring this bag out on rainy wet days because I use it as a carry bag on my bike commute. The plastic material it's made of isn't 100% waterproof but it is far more water resistant than the canvas bag I use on other days which I like more. The shoulder strap is adjustable but very difficult to adjust. the pad that's supposed to protect your shoulder is frankly awful and doesn't stay in place. I was so frustrated with it. I cut it off.
