detailed review of this bag March 9, 2008

SHIPPING
This bag arrived on a Friday afternoon in Seattle Washington after being ordered on Monday night and being shipped from Van Nuys California. It was sent via USPS Priority Mail in a bag and when unfolded had a couple wrinkles which disappeared on their own after a few hours.
FLAP
The flap looks like the flap in the main picture of this bag, with one minor exception. It has one long piece of olive green colored velcro on the other side of the flap from the two rectangular pieces of fabric pictured. The small red tag with white writing on it is not present on my flap, but is instead located on the end of the bag, where the strap is sewn on.
STRAP
The strap looks pretty comfortable and durable. It's made of the same fabric as the rest of the bag. On one side of the bag it's sewn directly to the bag, and on the other side of the bag it's looped through a wide, flat, rectangular brass ring which is inserted through a wide loop of fabric on the bag. Another brass ring is used to adjust the length of the strap which can be as short as approximately 28" and as long as approximately 48". The length adjustment ring stays in place really well but is still easy to adjust and moves smoothly along the strap.
SIDE POCKETS
Each side of the bag has a pocket which runs nearly the height of the bag and has a brass snap. The main picture of this bag shows a red sports drink, which I thought was kind of deceiving until I tried to put a 32 oz. gatorade drink in each side. To my surprise, it actually fit! The pocket doesn't look big enough to hold one of these bottles, but it just barely is. The snap won't fasten with a 32oz bottle in the pocket, but without a bottle the snaps work very well and have a solid feel to them. Just above one side pocket is a small black tag (1cm x 1cm) which says RD in white and shows curved white lines sort of resembling wings. Just above the other side pocket is a small red tag (1cm tall by 3cm wide) that says RAPDOM in white letters. Apparently this stands for Rapid Dominance, which wikipedia says is some sort of military tactic where you just overwhelm your opponent into giving up.
BACK OF BAG
The back of this bag (the side that rests against your body) has one large pocket that is approximately 7" tall (2/3 to 3/4 as tall as the bag's main compartment) and as wide as the bag (approximately 14"). It has one small piece of velcro just below the top edge of the pocket to close it.
UNDER THE FLAP
When you un-velcro the main flap and flip it out of the way, you find two large pouches. Each pouch has a zipper running along the top and a small square of velcro on the outside that the flap's velcro attaches to. The pouches are each approximately 7" tall and 6" wide. The zippers each have a logo like the one by the strap which says RD (same brass color as the rest of the zipper). The pockets both zip closed to the inside of the bag, so you wouldnt be able to reach under the flap and grab the zippers and open the pouches with the main flap closed. This seems more secure than the alternative. Above the right-hand pouch is an olive green tag (slightly lighter colored than the darker olive green of the bag) that says "RAPID DOMINANCE Standard Issue" and has the black RD logo and also a line for you to write your name: "Name_____________________".
MAIN COMPARTMENT
The main compartment of this bag has a long zipper that runs the length of the bag and when you unzip this zipper you find a shiny olive green vinyl lining inside. On one inner wall of the main compartment in the vinyl lining is an inner pocket approximately the size of one of the pouches on the outside. The vinyl is pretty solid, but not too thick, so I wouldn't put anything sharp or heavy in this inner pocket. The main compartment of the bag, however, seems very durable.
Very sturdy and straightforward February 2, 2007

I wanted a bag that was simple, thick and sturdy, and with enough room to store a couple of things. This was my answer. If you're looking for a messenger bag that does what it's supposed to do without bells and whistles, this is it; not to mention the price - what a deal!

If you're a fan of "24" and Jack Bauer, "The Jack Sack" is a must have. Not only is it extremely well-priced, it is durable and surprisingly roomy inside. The side pockets are useful and the material is thick and well-made.
As a lark, I googled the words "jack sack" and found some pretty funny articles online. Try it out and see what kind of subculture you're touching upon when purchasing this item! Poeple may be coming up to you on the street asking about your bag. :)

This is a stellar product. Many of my friends have bags that just dont cut it so I purchased this one and it has been great. Everything is heavy duty about it while still have a clean stylish look. Plenty of room for binder, laptop, and notebooks.
Great Buy, but there are to version of this bag and i don't mean color November 24, 2007

I just got this in a couple of days of purchase with only paying standard shipping so don't bother upgrading your shipping.
What I learned from searching for this messenger bag was that there are two version of this bag. I mean that if you purchase from Ultra Force/Gravity then the description should go like this:
Messenger/Map Bag with Large Front Pocket, Inside Zipper Pouch; 1 side pocket on each side; 2 (NOT 3) Outside front Pockets , Adjustable Shoulder Strap, 15" x 11" X 6"
However, if you purchase through Haus Of Bags, it's quite different even though it look the same. The description is more like this:
Messenger/Map Bag with ZIPPER Large Front Pocket with a thin cloth cover inside, Inside Zipper Pouch; 1 side pocket on each side; 3 Outside Pockets (2 SMALL ZIPPER FRONT POCKETS and A VELCRO BACK POCKET 15 X 11) , Adjustable Shoulder Strap, 15" x 11" X 6"
