I used to use an old backpack to tote my stuff to work with me. It was time for something new. I have had this unit for 3 months or so, and I must say that it fits my needs more than I expected. The many compartments of different sizes and locations were perfect for the stuff I tote around. One nifty small compartment fits my electric razor perfectly. Another holds my checkbook, bills, envelopes and pens and such. Another holds a few tools and a flashlight. The compartment with the most space holds miscellaneous stuff and anything else I need to put in there...a thermos, or Tupperware with leftovers that I take to work for lunch. This compartment can hold a lot of stuff.  I removed the shoulder strap. This is a guy's unit. The two handles suffice as far as toting this unit to work every day. The price is good also. I cannot think of a negative.
