Size posted as 9"x13". Purse is actually 8"x10". Still a great bag. I'm giving it 4 stars not because of any quality issues, but due to the misstated size.

Great bag! I gave it a 4 only because it needs small pockets on both the interior and exterior. But overall, I love it

More black that the image looks, but it is still a beautiful bag

It's a good bag. Only reason I'm giving it a four, is that the strap hooks could be better. The strap holds well though. My 14yr old uses it for boxing practice.

I've had this bag for 3 years now, and I still love it. The front zipper no longer closes correctly, but it may be because I've overstuffed it too many times. Great great bag.

When I started this review I was thinking, ok 4 stars. Then I tried to think of why this bag isn't a 5 star bag and I really couldn't think of any yet. I got it for a camping trip this weekend and we will see how it holds up to the rigors of that. But so far, it was bigger than I thought it would be. Which is fine actually because I was able to fit everything I need into one bag. It's not loaded with pockets, but that's ok with me. Too many pockets sometimes can be a little cumbersome. It has enough for me to somewhat organize my stuff without being too meticulous about it. The material seems to be rather durable and it seems to be crafted pretty well. But like I said, we'll see how it holds up after it's been tossed around a bit. The zippers seem to be substantial enough as well. I told my wife though, that I wish I had a bag like this when I was deployed to Iraq. Sea bags are great for general storage, but if you need something that happens to be at the bottom, you have to dump it out or dig like crazy in hopes of finding it. It has backpack type straps so we will see how well they hold up as well. Until I get back, I will try to think of a reason to make it 4 stars, but unless it falls apart or something, this is an excellent bag.

So I went on my camping trip and the bag held up just fine. I like how it fit everything I needed into one bag. It easily loses a star for the zipper pulls. About half of them pulled off. I just replaced them with 550 cord which is better anyways. I only take off 1 star because at most it was an inconvenience to fix. Also, when you purchase a product, it should work, end of story. It was pretty full and the straps seemed to hold just fine. Considering the zipper thing, I think this is still a great bag. Time will ultimately tell on the build quality, I just hope the zippers coming off are not indicative of the rest of the workmanship.

I love this bag. It's great. The only thing I wonder is why there is a zipper at the bottom of one of the side pockets. I just try to be careful not to put anything small in there.

Upgrade to 5 stars. Still holding up well, no problems with seams or zips. I use it daily. It's fairly unisex (but that's my style/comfort zone, for most of my work fashion) . I'm a short female, and I've heard folks refer to it as my "backpack" *haha * makes me feel young again, for a minute!
Yes it will hold a 13 in laptop. this shouldn't be your intended purpose for this bag, though. The bag's material is thick and the back has a bit of padding for comfort, but to negotiate the laptop in, I had to remove items from other pockets &put them back in afterward.
So bonus for padding, the strap is nicely padded also.
If the zippers were placed differently it would be five stars (or that might make them harder to open while the bag is on.)
If the main compartment zipper ran all the way up and across the top of the bag instead of 2/3-3/4ths up, voila, a wider opening.
I think the strap pocket WOULD accommodate a larger phone (I have a 5.5 in screen phone) but only if the zip was placed on the side, not the center.
anyway those are nit picks. It works as a sling bag just fine.

This is a great bag!  Though I did not keep it because it wasn't as large as I needed, it was a good looking bag. It's about the same interior size as the Transpack that I have, so it wasn't as big as I expected.  I do like the exterior helmet holder, but even with that it would have only fit my ski clothes.  I needed something to carry my own essentials, plus my two-year-old daughter's ski gear.  I ended up with a Vokl bag that is amazing.

This is very late in writing, but I have this bag several years later and it has held up great. It is big enough to hold my Chromebook and other notebooks/folders/etc. without being obnoxiously large. I love this bag.

I really like the bag. It holds all of the things that I need it to hold (which is a lot) without being overly large. I was worried that it didn't have a zipper but now I am over it, I actually like the way it fastens. I don't love the color that I bought but I will get over it because this is a strong bag and  suits my needs.

I love the Cooler bag it is spacious and of good quality, I was actually expecting a smaller bag, I am highly impressed. The back pack I thought was going to be made of the same material, but it is a canvas bag with studs on it, I am not complaining too much about it, still a nice bag and the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

I really love this bag. My 13-inch Macbook Air fits great inside and the color is true to the picture. The only reason i'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that mine only has two large zip areas instead of the three that is pictured. I'm not sure if the design changed and the picture isn't reflecting that but the tag that was on it said Computer Daypack.

The bag is exactly what I wanted. it's durable and holds my 13" MacBook air no problem with room to spare.

The only issues I have are the two zippers. They are those heavy duty, rugged zippers that get stuck a lot. I'm having major problems with mine already (I've had the bag less than a week) and I don't think it will be long before they give out entirely. The only reason I'm not returning the bag is because I really do love it and I can replace the zipper (the top one anyways).

Also, right out of the box the bag had several deep cuts and scratches in the leather. Most of them aren't very noticeable but a few are right up front on those two big leather straps.

If you don't usually use the zippers on your messenger bags then it won't be a problem.
