1.0 out of 5 stars
Big, but not heavy duty, October 23, 2009
This review is from: High Sierra Sherman Messenger Bag (Apparel)
Like another reviewer, my bag broke while it was loaded, and I was trucking along. I packed a textbook, 16oz H20, 16oz coffee, and a Dell Precision M6400 with power brick and mouse. It fits, but the plastic clips that attach the bag to the shoulder strap are crap. One broke under the load and I found out something else. While the back panel is padded to protect your humongous laptop, the edges are not padded. So when the bag decided to free fall, it landed on the corner of my laptop. So far, the only damage to the laptop is a dented corner. The laptop corner actually cut through the bag's canvas, and so there is a cut on the bottom of the bag now. The dent is bad enough that I almost soiled myself when I saw it. To Dell's credit, the laptop seems to be functional. Thanks a lot High Sierra, for cheaping out on the most mechanically critical part of this bag. If they would have used a better resin, or even metal like a carabiner, this would not have happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars
simple awesome form/function, July 2, 2007
This review is from: High Sierra Sherman Messenger Bag (Apparel)
High Sierra has been a trusted name in sportsware bags for many years: this bag is a culmination of that trust. For people who like to travel and take a laptop this is the bag. Reasons to trust this one: it's big and it also has lots of pockets and extra room for packing things like clothes. It's also the kind of bag that can be carried like a backpack but is lighter and more agile to protect under the arm. The cushioned pocket is in the rear, this laptop pocket is the furthest back not under the flap which makes it even easier to access, and the zipper is covered with a rubberized weatherproofing. The main pocket is large roomy and not cluttered with holders of any kind; accessed under the flap which also has a zippered pocket facing outward. The neoprene pen/paper holder and a mesh pocket are on the outside of the main pocket, under the flap. The sturdy nylon material could be made waterproof with spray and is already water resistant. Here's a good hint: World Traveler has all the colors at $49.99 which is a steal of a deal + UPS ground shipping (most places retail for at least the high price listed here). Read my comment for more info on World Traveler.

I own this bag, February 22, 2008
I bought this bag and I liked it a lot. After three days of using it, I put my computer, a note book and a textbook in it. That day the strap broke off of the bag broke the bag is useless to me now.
