Big and roomy

On: 2008-03-19

This is a big and roomy messenger bag. You can fit a lot of stuff in here, and the bag looks really nice. It also seems very well built.

I dont know about the laptop pocket however. I have a 14" laptop and it was sticking out of the pocket. I didnt really feel that my computer was protected. The specs say it can hold a 17" laptop. Lengthwise, Im sure it does. But how much of the laptop sticks out on top?

Also, the laptop pocket does not go to the bottom of the bag, but hangs in the air about an inch above. This makes the bag look funny when you wear it, and makes it more awkward to fit stuff inside. I wish they would make it go all the way to the bottom. Maybe my 14" laptop would even fit inside.

It might be a better idea just to get a regular messenger bag and then a neoprene sleeve for your laptop. Thats what I plan to do.

Fabulous Bag

Sturdy, stain resistant, easy on the shoulder, plenty of space for all the pens/pencils/cords and cables. I got this as a gift for a law student, and he swears by it now. Definately a must-buy for an active student with laptop!

Great bag, quality, excellent price

I discover Crumpler bags in the search for a great camera bag, I have now added the "Crisp Suit" (similar to the Dreadfull Embarrassment(D.E.)) both are similer in size and capacity, the big difference is the pencil holder is in the front pocket on the Crist Suit and in the main compartment on the D.E. The laptop compartment is well padded and secure, and there is plenty of room for all of your accessories, AC wall charger, wireless mouse, mic headset, web cam, pens, Ipod 30GB,
Axim X50 + accessories, notebook 3 subject and a text book of average size.
Ive found that this bag makes me carry the essentials without overpacking.
These bags are made of very tough material, functional, fun and eyecatching, but not obnoxious and tell no tales of what the contents are.
My Crumpler collection, totaling 7 Crumpler bags.
