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

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.

I love this bag: I can't believe how much stuff you can fit in this! It is exceptionally well designed and can hold almost anything you need in order to serve faithfully as a sort of briefcase, which is how I use it. Great stitching, relatively lightweight, easy to lug around. For the price, I sincerely don't believe you could do better.

A little big, but very comfortable nonetheless. The strap is very thick and strong and very easy on the shoulders which I love. A lot of space to carry your books and whatever you might want to haul around, I'm pretty sure it'll fit. Thanks for the quick shipping!
