Big for a 7 year old kid to wear around the waiste, but still nice to carry over the shoulder.

It's a little bulky to store and carry around, but it's nice to have some shade.

Finally a suitable bag that carries everything a person with multiple medical problems can fit all their needed medical necessities into! There is still room left over for the usual paraphernalia one needs when going about one's day.  Moreover, the contents do not gravitate toward the middle and unbalance the satchel, but remain well distributed and therefore the weight is also comfortable on one's shoulder and not awkward or off-kilter. The fabric is sturdy and the bag is well-constructed.  My sole issue with this bag is the zippers are not as robust as the fabric and easily slip off track.  Thankfully, they are also easy to slip back into their track, but it can be a nuisance - not so much with the inner pockets, but the outer one.  Aside from that, very happy with this purchase.

So I ordered this backpack to serve me as I went back to school an my existing messenger bags don't work to carry all the weight of my notebooks (engineer). I'm a relatively tall man (6' 2"), so the length and fit are quite nice for my back. There's just enough space to carry approximately 4 1-subject notebooks and 3 1-in binders as well as a smaller textbook on top. I don't carry a laptop, but the laptop sleeve does fit an 2016 Dell Inspiron 15 5000 quite nicely. The pockets are reasonable situated and are roomy but not too large and overall it feels as if it is capable of holding more than what it may look from the outside. There seems to be enough loops around the bag to attach larger things on the outside or on the shoulder straps to keep things reasonably at hand. The side pockets for water bottles barely fit a 3 in diameter bottle, and the compression straps help serve as additional stability. I've also fit a rather tall umbrella down one side in the compression straps.

I think my favorite aspect of this bag it the slightly narrower width. Many of my previous bags seemed too wide and things would move from side to side. The 15 in laptop is perfect example of it having just enough width to be secure without wasted space on the interior. While that seems silly its useful to know for navigating the bag to get to a seat in a crowded lecture room and pulling out notebooks/pens. The bag new also has a predilection for standing upright on it's own, but that as much has the way I back it.

I didn't buy this for the waterproofing, so I won't take a star off for it, but I went ahead and tested it by putting some paper towels on the inside and running it through the misting setting of my shower. The material itself is fairly hydrophobic being synthetic, but the openness of the zippers is ultimately it weak point. If you get caught in a light sprinkle, your stuff should be fine, but if you're braving a monsoon look for more dedicated protection like a trash bag, poncho, or rain fly.

Waterproofing aside, I think the only feature I would like would be an option to add a waist strap to better distribute weight to the hips, but again it's a feature I knew it didn't have. The chest strap is rather too small for me, but I'm on the larger size so it's neither here nor there.

If this fails spectacularly or doesn't hold up I'll update my review, but otherwise just assume that it's been lasting from the date this is posted. Overall it's good quality for the price of about $30-40.

This carry-all is lightweight enough that adding weight from gardening tools doesn't make it a chore to lug around the yard, and I do appreciate all of the various pockets and tool-loops to keep things organized.  The color is nice and even, and the stitching on the seams seems like it'll hold up under a good amount of use.  My only complaint is that I wish this Bucket Boss were an inch or two longer so that my tools would fit more comfortably inside the center compartment without deforming the sides.  Other than that, it's a good product.

I haven't actually used this yet, but it seems pretty helpful to me. I think one still needs to be vigilant of one's surroundings and keep the fasteners secured as much as possible.

It is a little bit heavier than I had hoped and might feel heavy as the day goes on if you have heavy things in it. Overall, I think it will serve me well when I travel. I have had another backpack sliced open with a knife and because I had things secured in it, nothing of value was taken. I hope that the mess will prevent such an occurrence.

The sternum strap is the biggest plus for me on this, because those just make it so much easier to carry anything beyond the lightest amount of weight. The color is nice and neutral also, and the straps have a reasonable amount of padding. It feels more roomy than some models I've used that have a lot more little pockets and such for organizing, so I guess that's a trade-off because every pocket they add takes up a little more space in itself. On the whole, though, it's a nice bag

I like the size of this tote or minipack, I think it's got some very good features, one of which being the padded carry handle at the top.  I haven't looked at it for a while, but I believe that I wasn't able to take the support strap off of the side.  Of course you would want this on and secure for certain intended uses, but for a daily shoulder bag, kinda got in the way and nowhere to put it except to tuck it in one of the molle straps on the side.  It seems a bit smallish, especially the pocket panel in the back, but then again I think that's why I got it in the first place, because everything else was looking like a regular back pack or just plain - too big.  Perhaps a Javalin or a Moab would have been better, but I didn't want to pay those prices, especially for something that I may or may not carry every day.  It almost seems like the areas or pockets could be better (similar items I was able to hold and look at were worse), but I'm still trying to figure it out.

Bag doesn't look quite the same in person, but still beautiful. Straps are very short and make it difficult to carry, but it's not a deal breaker.

I need to get a couple of zipper pulls, but it carries nicely.

This is handy for cash and cards to be safe and can be worn with slacks or a skirt and still be easy to get to.  I do like it, but wish it was just a might bigger.

This bag is pretty nice.  I still have an 80s vintage Bermuda bag, and this is very similar to those from that time.  The main difference is that the wooden handles are thinner on this new bag,  about 1/4 inch thick each. Since they are thinner and not hinged,  but instead attached to the bag liner only, the "feel" of closing and carrying the bag is a little different from my vintage bag.  What I like about this design difference is that the handles are lightly attached to the bag liner with a few stitches running through a few tiny holes drilled in the wooden handles.  So,  since I sew,  if needed I can easily detach the liner and make a replacement, as well as make up a bunch of unique slipcovers.  It works as a replacement for the vintage bag,  which I can now just keep around for sentimental reasons.

I like this in general, especially it's convenient to carry to anywhere.
However, It is quite small for my height( 5' 7'' )
But my girlfriend is using this. She also likes it.

Not as big as I thought it would be but its light weight enough to carry around just fine.

a little light weight, but it's still great.

I was planning to use this bag as an over-the-shoulder tote or purse-especially for when I'm traveling. However, the handles/straps were not big enough to accommodate my medium-sized upper arms and big shoulders, so...I had new handles put on. Just a few more inches of handles/straps made all the difference,and I can now carry the purse securely on my shoulder- instead of only on my forearm. I bought new handles--it's a set--at my nearby JoAnn Fabrics store, and had my local shoe repair guy stitch them on. It was easy for me to cut thru the stitching on the old handles, & 'all in a day's work' for the shoe repairman to stitch on new handles.
