Stuff it. Your back will be fine.,
This review is from: AmeriBag Classic Microfiber Healthy Back Bag Medium (Apparel)
I own the medium size micro fiber bag, which I think are a bit big for everyday use. As a travel purse, it's perfect, because I need to carry a bit more than normal, things like a camcorder or camera, water, souvenirs, etc. It can get quite heavy, but I stuff it and throw it around so that it hangs across my back with the heaviest part of the bag at my lower back. That takes the weight off my upper body and distributes it down lower. I don't have the best posture, so I can get major backpain with a backpack. This bag doesn't cause me such problems.
MATERIAL The material is easy to clean and wears well. I don't use it everyday, but I've taken the bag on a few trips to Alaska and Hawaii and Mexico and elsewhere. Considering how much weight I put in it and how I abuse the zipper trying to shut it, it's still in good condition; and if I were to sell it now, I would list it as "like new" condition. DESIGN The most useful pockets are the ones on the inside and outside with zippers or a flap. I don't find any of the other pockets useful, because they are hard to reach and impractical to use. That is one of its design flaws. Except for the three pockets with a zipper or flap, the rest are not very useful. Digging around for those inside pockets is not easy when the bag is full. The inside pockets are positioned along the sides and back of the bag, all except one are in a vertical position. Well, when I'm wearing the bag across my back, I just swing the bag around to open it and I am opening the bag in a horizontal position, with the zippered opening facing up at me. Isn't that how most purses look when we open them? I try putting water bottles in the outside rear pocket. It looks made for that. They stay there until the purse goes sideways (I.e., I swing the bag around to open it). Maybe I'm not supposed to swing the bag around the way I do, but it's the easiest way to get into my bag. Just wish the pockets were designed with that in mind. Pros: +easier on the back than a backpack +well-made, quality material will last Cons: -most pockets are impractical to use SUMMARY For the most part, the bag is just one huge receptacle where I throw everything on my trips. It does what it says it does with regard to being easier on my back. I wouldn't use it as an everyday bag because it's too big for me to use that way and the pockets would leave me frustrated. Overall, it's a quality bag and I do like using it for trips.

Wears like iron,
By Esther Schindler (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: AmeriBag Classic Microfiber Healthy Back Bag Medium (Apparel)
I have had this bag for ten -- count 'em 10 -- years. After a decade as my everyday purse, it's finally starting to show its age, so without hesitation I'm going to buy a direct replacement. (My only argument with myself is whether I should invest in the leather version.)
I over-stuff my purse, demonstrating to my husband that yes, a woman's purse IS a black hole from which anything might emerge... and its weight shows it, too. But this bag has never complained no matter how many items I shove into it. Because of the microfiber, the bag has gone through the washing machine and dryer (on delicate, just for safety's sake) so it has continued to look good. I'm a klutz, too, so I have long appreciated that almost EVERYthing can be closed up with a zipper. This has saved me from many "dump my bag upside down" experiences, so I have no qualms about using a purse that is not uber-fashionable.

good durable bag with many uses,
By Bliss "educator" (Central USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AmeriBag Classic Microfiber Healthy Back Bag Medium (Apparel)
I've had the medium microfiber bag for about 3 years.I have washed it about 6 times and used spot removers, each time it has come out looking like new. It does not fade or fray in the washing machine and air dries quickly. While not the most fashionable bag, I have used it almost every day. I bought it so I could stash my camera and a notebook plus maps, cell phone, etc. for a trip overseas. It worked great. I agree the zippered or velcro flap closed pockets are most useful for everyday. I use the inside zippered pockets for drivers license, contact lens emergency kit, and the stash of discount cards. I like the pen/pencil slots (also good for flash drives). Some items do get lost in the depths of the interior at times. I would like more latches to hold sets of keys, flash drives, or other items needing to be readily available. For example, I carry a small key-ring type tape measure and a pocket knife and a small hand lens.
I am looking for a replacement because I overstuffed the outside zippered pocket with 3 sets of keys (12 keys total) plus a cell phone one too many times and damaaged the zipper. It's a great bag and I can't do without it. 2115|R3I8CUOUQG812H;2115|R1GHHBH79GJNET;2115|RDA86YVEPPCKM;
