I am debating between buying backpack and Metro Bag. I am wondering which is easier to carry? I will be carrying a pocketbook, and 2 other bags.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you which one for sure would work best for you but given the rest of the things you will be carrying I'm thinking the backpack would make more sense.

Hi carry a purse and two other bags as well and that's why I chose the backpack it is so convenient not to have another bag hanging off your arm

I really liked the backpack with my second child. I felt it was more compact than the Metro bag. Putting it on my back versus throwing something else on my shoulder was much more comfortable.

I have the backpack and am able to keep extra bottles, wipes, the tubes/horns, and the small bag with the ice pack but that's it. Even though it holds a good amount of stuff I got annoyed lugging it, my purse, and my lunch box into work everyday and just started leaving it at work. Now I just have to bring the tote holding the milk in my lunchbox & I'm set. For comfort I would agree that a backpack would be better than a shoulder sling bag.

It's a pretty big backpack. For a smaller kid I'd say no, go for something smaller. Regardless, don't overload the bag, but then again you're the parent.

Hi... you will be able to fit in two laptops easily...and then two to three books can easily fit in.... and the cop holder is easily accessible... but given that you have loaded all these in to the bag.... it gets really heavy that you would not be able to walk carrying it.. also I would like to emphasis that the empty bag itself is heavy. I carry one laptop and couple of note books... I feel much comfortable with the bag... I love this bag for its quality

I have this SAME question! Does anyone know which is less bulky to pack? Need to take it on an airplane...

Metro-you can just take the components you need separately so you aren't always having to lug the big bag. Also good if the table or counter you're putting it on has limited space. The motor is the same though so if cost is the driving factor the tote will work.

I got the pump for my daughter in law and she had the metro bag. The metro bag allowed for a much needed space for other items. She was really pleased with this item. Kathy Summers

I like it better. I actually own both. The go girl is better to carry because it folds up. Also, I like that it has a top on it. It prevents some spillage.

I use this bag 5 days a week to carry all of my stuff with me to work. I travel via motorcycle about 20 miles each direction during rush hour traffic (about 1 hour each way) and I have no complaints. I wanna put it out there that slings are probably my personal preference since when I was in high school and college and I owned a normal two-strap backpack, I generally only carried it with one shoulder anyway.

Hi, The Fender Metro is definitely a bit higher end. A little over a year ago, the Fender Deluxe bags were discontinued and replaced. However, some dealers still have stock. I'd say the Deluxe is a great value if you can still find one. As I said though, the Metro is definitely nicer so if you don't mind spending the extra $$ then go for the metro. However, if you are on a budget, the Deluxe is actually a really nice bag. Good luck!

I do NOT own this particular bag.I'm surprised to see my old review I made on another product, "Vivitar DKS-18 Photo/SLR/Laptop Sling Backpack (Black) by Vivitar" found here on another product that I never reviewed. I studied the photos and I see some clear differences such as the memory card pocket and the location of the tripod holder.However, as far as I see, this bag you are inquiring about seem to be a bit "smaller" or just "as big" as my Vivitar bag. I've taken my Vivitar bag to both international and domestic flights as a carry-on with no problem. Sorry, that is all I can say.Good luck!

I bought a regular backpack, holds a lot of stuff and slings on your back for picture taking and walking. Never found a case thatholds everything as well. Love the camera.

Wear it backpackstyle. I sorely miss my son's Radian for how easy it was to travel with it. I'm a single mom who travels a lot with er son, and the advantages far outweigh the actual weight. Wearing he seat backpackstyle still left me with arms free for luggage and worst case, carrying my child

This is my favorite bag. It should be fine for you unless fully loaded. The bag expands to a pretty large size. So if you don't need to pack it full, should be fine

As a guy, I feel (and think) I look fine carrying this bag. It seems more sporty than anything. I am more than happy that I bought this bag and carry it around everywhere I go, just in case something picture worthy pops out. That being said, I still call it my murse. :)

Hi! CuteLunatic, You are quite "Welcome"! .. I also wanted this particular camera bag / backpack as I need to pack some documents also for my trip in August 2015. This is much more than just as camera bag. Also, it was made for ( Nikon ) cameras & lenses, so I figured their design specs must be rather rigid for the final manufactured product.Thank You for your reply,Stu

As far as pocket folders go, it is on the larger end of the spectrum in both size and weight but not so bad as compared to 300 line. It is a cool looking knife but, more importantly, it is incredibly durable and is one of the best performing folders I have ever had. I've always been wary of liner locking mechanisms but haven't had any complaints with this one. To answer your question, I don't think it would be an issue if carried in your purse. I have to wear slacks and suits every day to work yet I still carry my knife clipped in my pocket without any issues or annoyances. I would look into the partially serrated version for uses you are describing though.

You have more than enough room in large pack. I don't havea smaller oneto compare it to. So if your going to carry a lot of stuff id say large is way to go.
