Excellent bag, excellent delivery! February 10, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
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.
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!

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.
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.
Just what I needed! January 31, 2007

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.
