Over all this is a pretty good bag. The 2 main problems are the strap which you can replace. The bigger problem is that it isn't as bag as it looks. I carry a laptop and a 2" binder and by the time I got those in the main compartment was FULL. Here are the details:

Starting at the top - The strap is useless it doesn't have enough padding to carry a heavy load - replaced it first week.

Next you you have a very butch and well padded handle. This works great easy to grab and comfortable on the hand. The only draw back is that it interferes with the zipper of the computer compartment.

The back 2 pads which hold the bag on you hip and they real work the bag seamed not to bounce around as much. the bag has a pass thru for riding on top on a roller bag handle or zipped shut for an open pocket in the back.


Computer compartment is a little on the small side (I have a 15" mac and it barely fits). But it is well padded and the strong zipper.

Top flap has 3 pockets and a Velcro area. The Velcro area holds an ID holder which works OK I've never moved it so I don't see what the deal is. 2 pocket are 2 1/2" wide, 4 1/2" long, 3/4 deep flap close. You can slip your phone/PDA into it easily wallet and watch in the other (going threw security). The 3rd pocket is VERY small 3"x2" with a zipper. This pocket is pretty useless the only thing I put in here is a flash drive & chapstick. If Blackhawk is listening I would expand this pocket UP to underneath the id Velcro and make it the size of an envelope so you could slide a boarding sleeve into it move the ID Velcro to the out side of that.

Under the flap is a clear plastic area that you can slide paper (boarding pass or itinerary). The problem is that it is smaller then an 8 1/2" piece of paper. So again if Blackhawk is listening please make it bigger.

Next is a pocket for pens and pencils with a bigger zipper pocket behind probably 6"x9".

The Main compartment is a little to small. Also the opening is cut funny it is smaller then the bag it self. I assuming that this is to keep weather out of the bag but it is kind of over kill if you ask me.

On either end are 3 pockets. 2 at one end are mess good for a water bottle. the other end is material I put my sunglasses in there that is about it.

Overall it is a good bag but it could be better. If don't carry a lot and are looking for a TOUGH bag get it.

This is a great product... I have room for two laptops and the external pockets allow for quick access to keys, cell phone, and Ipod... I also appreciate that it is water proof and I do keep a map on the clear inside flap... I also haul water in the side pockets... my only issue is that it is a bit heavy, but with all the other features weight is a minor concern...this is one great briefcase...

Well made, well designed and a great price. Holds all my stuff and keeps it safe. The computer compartment is a bit tight but I don't use it to carry my computer very often.

I needed a bag to travel for business trips. So i researched all the products out there and came to the conclusion that Black Hawk had what I needed. You could not ask for a more robust and useful product. I can carry all my equipment in a dry and accessible bag. I even have room to carry my gun and spare mags in the outside zippered compartment.
