I need a bag that is isn't floppy if it doesn't have something large in it to help it keep it's shape. Is this a good multipurpose bag?

It does hold its shape ok fine with just misc. stuff in it. The one in the pic has been stuffed with a box. I know it does not stand on its own even with my laptop in it. It really is a laptop bag, though, and the pockets are set up for such. Three partitioned areas for laptop, iPad, Intuos pad etc. Then a couple of misc. small pockets and another large open area where I throw the power cord and misc. cabling. One more quick-access compartment(again... really big) that you can get to without opening the flap. Nice enough bg for the price, just not as versatile as I thought it would be.

It's an all over canvas without a solid bottom; however, it keeps its shape pretty well even when it's empty it near empty. I would not call it "floppy." I use it to carry a few files and have been happy with it.

There is a specific spot for your laptop, so there's a foam wall type partition. It will hold its shape, just know there's a divider in there you can't remove.

it's really a laptop briefcase rather than a travelling bag. I guess if you limit yourself to an extra shirt and set of unmentionables and your toiletries are fairly minimal it would work fine. if you need a second biz suit, you're probably out of luck.

If it is a down bag, you might want to avoid squashing the down. I guess the xx large bag would be best, but that is the only size I have used.

Probably don't want to. A co-worker has one similar and his bag is loose, kind of wobbly... Its from caring too many things in it. Its a small, tight little bag for just the small stuff. I carry my MacBook Pro 13", iPad 10", external HD, Mouse and a few styluses. Anything more is too much.

I agree with the others. It is great as a computer bag. As a clothing carrier, there are other options that are much better.

Hi Ryan, you can definitely fit a LOT in this bag. I would go for it -- it's great for hiking and moving around because you can wear it as a backpack, and depending on where you're going, it may be better that it doesn't have wheels in case the roads aren't paved.

I would have to say yes. I have never seen a bag this big.. "long" I guess is a better word. It is not cheaply made and should last a long time as well. It is worth buying. I do not think you will be disappointed. You may complain more about how big it is than how little it is. Hope this helps.

Honestly, it would be a tight squeeze. This bag is foldable but does not stay collapsed. I hope I was of some help.

This bag is great for that. I use it to carry my work binder and my wallet. I can fit more stuff in it if needed

This is a beautiful bag, but it is quite thin. It is not a padded bag at all, so it would depend on what kind of protection you are looking for? Very sturdy and the zipper is great!

I don't carry a laptop all the time too and have been using this as my main bag for traveling as I pack one or two days of clothing inside. . I would recommend using a Grid-It organizer with this bag for smaller stuff like chargers etc.

I agree with the other comments. These bags would be plenty big and yet not too big.Good luck.

Hi Heather! Sorry my English is not so good-what exactly are you looking from this bag? I try to answer, I returned my -becouse this wasn't big enoughf , and I didn't like the shape, wright to me

I think that under occasional use it would be a great bag. I was using it for daily commuting and it seemed to to not hold up under such frequent use.

They are not that ling there about the length of a reusable grocery bag, I liked it the fact that I can find stuff quickly and everythings organized but I got tired of carrying a heavy handbag on my shoulder with everything a baby needs dont get me wrong this is a really good bag afterall it depends on everybodys point of view but I just bought a pink fisherprice diaper backpack, has the same things this bag has :-)

Honestly, I don't think a thicker mat would roll up tight enough. I love the bag for my yoga mat for after work with a change of clothes and everything fits. If you had a thicker mat, you may not be able to fit too many things in the bigger pocket. Otherwise, I've been using it everyday, and it's a great travel bag too. Hope this helps!

I think this bag will work fine for your needs. I took a quick look at my bag and try to make space for the items you listed and It seems to work. This bag is the same size as a large backpack and is well padded. It offers a lot protection for this expensive equipment.
