5.0 out of 5 starsI've been searching for a bag like this for years.
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014
I've had this bag for about a week now. I wanted a little time to pass to make sure I liked it as much as I thought I did before I wrote this review. With every passing day, I like it more & more ... so I guess the time to give this product five stars is now.
Obviously I haven't had it long enough to evaluate how well it will hold up; but I honestly don't see anything about its construction that would make me doubt that it will perform as well as any other bag. I treat all my belongings with respect; and I expect to do the same with this messenger bag ... so I don't anticipate any problems in that regard.
There's something about a vertical messenger bag that just works better for me. Perhaps it's my body type; but horizontal messenger bags feel like I'm carrying luggage over my shoulder. I used to carry a backpack; but nothing is ever accessible when you really need it. This vertical messenger bag feels like I'm carrying just the right size personal accessory and every single item I need is secure but at hand behind one of its many zippers.
The bag is loaded with pockets and ways to organize items. I am able to put my 13" MacBook & iPad in the double rear compartment with plenty of room to spare. I store my wallet & iPhone in the small lower pocket at the front for easy access; and there are numerous other pockets for every other item I routinely carry. There's a key holder & three pen holders. (Unlike a previous reviewer, I have not had a single pen, stylus, etc fall from the clips.
When I really, really love something, I am always afraid I will be without it someday ... so on rare occasions, I order a backup just in case the item I love goes out of production. Perhaps the highest compliment I can give this bag is that I've already ordered its backup!
