I use this as my work bag and it holds a lot. I pack my lunch, two 24oz insulated water bottles, a 7oz thermos for espresso, a compact Bible, sometimes a small umbrella, and various things that I need to get through the day. So far it still looks new. There are no signs of wear. I'm so glad that I didn't have to spend over $100 for a quality work bag. I got the black one to keep things simple and professional. I would definitely buy this bag again.
