Sure, Bauer made it cool... but is it practical?  Absolutely.

The bag arrived wrapped in plastic with a "made in India" tag on the inside.  The stitching is great... I've had the bag for 8 months now, carried nearly every day, and it's holding up beautifully.  The only signs of wear is from the color fading from the sunlight a bit on the front and top strap.

The metal adjuster on the strap gives you plenty of room to wear the bag at whatever height you find to be most comfortable.  I'm 6'1" and I have it adjusted so it sits perfectly at my hip.

Material: Heavy-duty canvas

Interior: It is just one big catch-all pocket.  There is a small zipped compartment at the very top, great for keeping things like headphones, keys or a cell phone from getting lost in the jumble.

Outside: Two outer pockets on the front are great for holding those things that you need to be able to get too fast.  Typically, this is where I keep my sunglasses, bandana, notepad, chewing gum, etc.  There are also two smaller pockets... one on each end of the bag.  They are narrow and very difficult to get into.  As a result, I just keep a few plastic shopping bags in there just in case.

I'm tempted to buy another one... just to have at the ready for when the day comes that my current bag has to be retired.
