I searched and searched for a travel bag for my vacation and I decided on this one. The quality was good but the size is deceiving. The dimensions are not listed and the mannequin in one of the photos must be very thin because the bag will barely hold a water bottle and a wallet without bulging. Just wasn't what I was expecting especially for the price. I returned it.

I'm very happy with my purchase. I have easy-access places for my credit cards and ID, cash and change. In another compartment lotion, cell phone, gum, hand sanitizer, small calendar, calculator and keys. I've been using it for about a month and can picture it lasting for years. Very high quality and worth the price.

I bought this bag after way-too-much time searching. It has worked out really well for me. First, the strap is super long - it has been wonderful for this winter! I can climb out of my car in my big winter coat and throw this over my head... it is long enough to go over the coat and it has a suede patch on the shoulder that keeps it from sliding around. It can be work on either side of your body. Like I said, it's been great for the winter.. though I don't think I'll use the bag in the heat of the summer. I think having so much "strap" across my body will bother me. Come fall, I'll bring this back out.

The storage has tons of pockets. I keep my most important cards in the slots... then just pile in other cards in the other spaces. There is a zippered pocket for change and bills. In the larger compartment there is a tall pocket which can hold 2 EPI pens very well.. with room for a small hairbrush, one folded diaper and small wipe pack... a couple of letters, paci, small cars, and a few other small things. (the diaper and EPI are kind of big) and one mesh pocket to hold (for me) store debit cards...

There is an outside zipper that is handy for my cell phone/ear bud and for sticking receipts in when I'm in a hurry.

My only complaint would be that I wish it was just a tiny bit thicker, I'd love to be able to cram in a few more things. If you put too much in, you cannot close the magnetic closure. There is not extension on it.

I do love the bag. I would certainly recommend it!

Unfortunately this item is overpriced on Amazon. I have been searching on the web for other colors and ran across the eBags web site, where the same item costs quite a bit less.
