Big bag with little room inside

On: 2008-03-12

This bag is huge. So big that if you fill it up to the brim, it really is too large to wear as a messenger bag - and too heavy. However, it is not as big as the spec says. Its no more than 12" tall and 5-6" wide.

The bag has a lot of padding, including a padded interior laptop pocket and a padded internal divider (in addition to an unpadded divider). It also has a lot of internal pockets. All this uses up a lot of the internal space, and in the end I wasnt able to fit a lot of stuff inside it. And once you fill it up, it gets cumbersome to access the internal pockets or to close the big laptop compartment flap - which really requires there to be very little else in the bag to work properly.

I also didnt like the stability strap or the buckle on the strap. The stability strap was mostly in the way and did nothing for me. And if you open the buckle to adjust the strap while wearing it, the weight of the bag causes it to race to the ground.

On the plus side the bag looks nice, and the quality seems real solid. But thats about it.
