I'm very pleased with the compact size and organizational features of this bag! It was exactly what I was looking for -- a 'man purse' to carry all my core gear 'n' gadgets, plus a full-sized paper notebook, a half-dozen manila file folders, and a book or two.

Unlike many 'messenger bags,' this one is NOT a huge black hole of a sack. It's fitted with lots of sturdy pockets and big elastic loops for keeping everything neatly displayed and in place.

If & when I get an iPad, MacBook Air or Kindle, they'll also fit in here nicely... but don't count on packing anything bigger than a 13" netbook. The biggest pocket is 14" x 11" x 3", as mentioned in the Product Description.

I wanted something small, light & discreet, with lots of storage/expansion options. This fits the bill for me. With its acres of velcro surfaces and Molle webbing, this bag lets me securely attach just about anything extra to the outside, including my laser sword and neutron bazooka.  :-)

I'm withholding one star to see how it wears over the next 6-12 months. However, at half the price of some other tactical or designer bags, this appears to offer great bang for your bucks.
