5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent bag, May 19, 2007

By	G. Terpe (Montana, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this bag for my 17" Dell Precision M90. It is a tight fit in the bag, but it does fit. The computer compartment is accessible without opening the main flap, making it very easy to get to the notebook quickly. The nearly velcro-free design is nice, because it's quiet to open and close and doesn't get stuck on things. The storage compartment has an orange lining, making it easier to see what's in the bag.

The main selling point of the BBP bags is the Bak2Pak carrying system, and it's definitely worthwhile. The conversion process only takes a few tries to learn, and from then on it's easy to convert between backpack and messenger carry styles. I'd seen complaints that strap was too long in the messenger style, but I haven't found that to be the case if you clip both d-rings into the strap clips. In backpack mode, I've found that the straps slip a little, so I have to re-adjust them. It's easy to do this while wearing the bag, so it's not a big deal. The backpack mode distributes the weight very well, making it easier to carry over long distances.

5.0 out of 5 stars This bag is great, June 13, 2007

By	frankfromnj - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Prior to ordering this bag I was using a Marware Sportfolio Deluxe 17" MacBook Pro Case Black and while I really like the quality, size, etc. of the case it was killing my back/shoulder/neck. Once I loaded it with everything I needed it was pulling me out of alignment when I carried it further than down the hall.

So I started looking for a bag that I wanted to meet two criteria. First, I wanted it to be more comfortable and not pull me out of alignment. Second, it needs to fit under the seat of my Yamaha Majesty scooter. The Marware bag fits under the seat with room to spare but the BumBakPak was larger, especially since I needed either the L or XL model in order to fit my 17" laptop. I ended up trying the XL model because the L was out of stock at the time so I figured I would give it a shot.

I am pleased to say several things. First, the bag is incredibly well made and has plenty of room for whatever you need to carry. Second, it is very comfortable and feels completely natural when walking. It does not weigh you down or pull your body in any unnatural directions while you are carrying it. Finally, the XL bag fit under the seat of my Majesty like a glove. When I place it under the seat it looks as though it were made with the intention of fitting under this seat. I know that this part of the review will not matter to most people but if anyone else has a Majesty they will appreciate this information :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Well I have had this for a while now and had to upgrade the rating, July 27, 2009

By	Thomas A. Viteritto - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I was looking for a replacement for my old laptop case and after reading several reviews saying the one they bought was too small I went with the XL. I have a IBM Thinkpad 15.4 inch screen and it can fit with plenty of room for a 17" laptop with no problem.If you put stuff in all the pockets its a chore to open up the bag to access the inside pockets.The pocket with the triangle is magnetic and I cought my blackberry falling out serval times.The other two pockets are zippered work fine. The product is well built . The plastic clips are holding up nicely at first I thought they felt cheap but the haven't had any probelms.You can hold a small or a large bottle of water. That works nicely.The Strap needs ver 2.0 when you convert to a single strap instead of the backpack the straps dangle everywhere.Its not a clean look like in the pictures.They should have added velcro or a snap for the strap to clip on so it doesn't flap everywhere. On the inside there is two straps for a large umbrella. Get ready to step aside at the subway so other people can exit because with the front pockets full this becomes a chore. The straps inside aren't speed clipped for quick release. If you don't strap in the umbrella tightly it will fall out. Your better off buying a mini umbrella and use the other side of the bag opposite of the water bottles.
