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

By	Dirk J. Willard (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Bag, March 3, 2005

By	J. Robinson (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this bag for school and it's perfect. The three seperate pouches make it easy to divide all the different books I carry. It also can hold nine different pens/pencils and has a nice pouch for carrying miscelaneous items. If I were to make a change it would be to the shoulder strap. I carry three books and a binder every day and the shoulder strap doesn't have any padding at all. This can be a bit rough on your shoulder. Having said that, the bag looks great and carries what you need to. A great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great multipurpose bag, June 23, 2006

By	M. Bryan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must say first off, this bag is very cool looking and the different compartments alone would give this bag 5 stars. There are 2 dividers within the main storage space giving you 3 compartments to hold stuff. Then there is also a small pouch on the front that snaps open to give you yet another pocket and 9 pen/pencil holders.
There is one main drawback that brings the bag down one star. The strap. As a few other reviewers have stated, the strap could definately stand to be wider and even a little longer. However, that is not that big of a problem. I would say the biggest is that the strap and its attachments don't feel or look very sturdy. I would definately recommend that this bag only be used for light or moderate weight hauling. Don't stuff it with heavy books.
That being said, it can still hold lots of stuff, just be careful.
One last bit of info, the bag itself isn't made out of a heavy sturdy canvas. It is very lightweight and flexible (100% cotton). This definately adds to its lack of strength, but it also makes it softer if you prefer or even care about that.
Overall I definately think this bag is worth the purchase.
