4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Big Canvas Bag, March 2, 2008

This review is from: Heavyweight Classic Messenger Bag - Olive Drab (Apparel)

I bought this bag to hold my equipment, notebooks, thermos and other gear while clomping through an oil refinery. After a week of use, I think it will serve well. This is not your choice in bags if you want something to contain your laptop; they're making them too thin for the support offered by this bag.

Positives:
* Long, adjustable strap;
* Pockets are pretty deep, except side (see negatives);
* Big, deep bag; and
* Zipper pocket inside bag, small but useful for pens and such.

Negatives:
* Canvas strap should be thicker with two stiches on either side, running the length, to avoid braying;
* Flap: velcro bar runs horizontally but there are only two small bars on the opposite side (the bag) --- these are not strong; and
* Side pockets --- too narrow but buttons are nice.

I plan to replace the velcro flap with a button clapse if the strap holds up for a month of abuse.

After 5 months of service I washed the bag in cold water. It faded a little as expected but did not shrink. Some were was noted in the bottom where a small hole developed. The bag is still useful. I did not add a button because there was no time.

If this review was helpful, please add your vote. I do this on side for free as a public service --thanks for your support.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice bag, July 15, 2007

The bag itself is fine. Used it now for a couple of weeks and it is already showing signs of wear - so I am not too happy about that. Additionaly the velcro strap for closing the flap is less then ideal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Bag, February 8, 2007

I love messanger bags an have owned my share throughout my life, and this one is well worth the money. It seems durable (although I have only had it for a little over a month, so we shall see how it holds up in the long term) fits my laptop and a few books nicely, and has a very nice inner pocket with a zipper that makes me feel secure about putting my flash drives into it. So far I only have two minor cpmplaints about it: first, the shoulder strap dosen't seem to hold its position, and I have to shorten it back to the length I like every couple days. Second, the velcro that secures the flap isn't very strong, and never seems to actually velcro. Neither of these complaints are big deals, so for the money this is a good bag.
