COULDNT FIT ZIP UP BINDER IN! August 6, 2010 morris (Boca Raton,) i bought this bag for me so i can use it in school, and because i had one like it in the 5th grade, and i wanted one that was like it. turns out, you cant fit anything in this bag bigger than a 1 inch binder. any bigger, and there is a large bulge on the top, and it takes 5 minutes to zip up. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE!
Awesome Travel Bag! July 27, 2010 excitableboy56 (Lehigh Valley PA) Bought this for some summer travel (Boston, St Peteersburg), this was VERY handy to have. Great size, smaller than a "standard" backpack but larger than the Swiss Gear single strap bag I saw at Target. Fit my netbook, ipod, a book, flipflops, and some other stuff - whipped through the TSA checkpoints at Tampa, was not cumbersome whatsoever, and fit under the seat in front of me wicked easy! Handy zip pocket for the ipod (with an opening for the ear buds) that had a snap strap over the top of the zipper for added security. well worth the price!
Great little backpack July 3, 2010 S. Manor (Georgia) Bought this for my husband who likes to carry a backpack when we travel, very well made and a great value for the money
good bag, some weak design problems June 1, 2010 Matthew J. Soto 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This bag is a great if you work in the city and just need to carry around a few things to get you through the day. It is big enough to carry a couple of books, an ipod (with its own little side pocket), a water bottle (with its own side pocket as well), a small umbrella, glasses case and some other small things. It will not hold much more than that though (no laptops or lunch bags).
Aside from the size and convenience, it has some pretty big design flaws. I actually had to get my bag replaced within 2 days of having it because one of the side straps had ripped completely off and the main shoulder strap started to rip from the top of the bag. However, the seller ADVENTURER'S BAG replied back to me immediately and were very helpful when I asked to have the bag replaced. They sent me a prepaid shipping label, I put the bag in a box, and sent it to them. I got my replacement bag within a few days. The replacement bag has been holding together a lot better than the first one so far. There is some slight fraying of the shoulder strap though. This seems to be due to how the strap has been sewn to the bag. You just have to be careful to not overload the bag with too many heavy things.
The bag is great for working in the city, but the design flaws cause you to have to be a little more cautious than you want to be when on the go constantly. Adventurer's Bag is a great seller though, and were very helpful.
Very Nice May 15, 2010 G. Gibson 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a very picky shopper. I spent quite some time looking at various sling packs before deciding on this one. I used it for a week of hiking in Colorado but wanted something that could be used while traveling in the city also. The only complaint I have is that the water bottle holder is quite difficult to use while wearing the pack. If you are able to get your drink out, good luck getting it back in with the pack on. The water bottle holder is very secure however. The pack has little small features that increase security for traveling like the covered front pocket zipper and the fact that the clipped cinch on the side covers the small side pocket. It would be very difficult if not impossible for someone to get into you pack without you noticing long before they succeed. The pack was very comfortable for all day hikes. I'm totally satisfied. The pocket on the strap was just large enough to hold my Blackberry Storm once I took the case off. Any larger phone (in any dimension) would not have fit. I wouldn't recommend this for a larger laptop, but for stowing away hiking gear or trips to the gym, this pack can't be beat. The stretchable strap laced across the pack was invaluable on my trip for holding layers of clothing from a large coat to a couple of t-shirts. Again, I am totally satisfied.
