I got my Dakine tote bag this week and I love it even more than I thought I would. It's smaller than it looks in the picture, but the size is actually perfect because I didn't want something too big and bulky. I am a sped teacher so I attend a lot of meetings and do a lot of commuting between schools. So I needed something that would hold my notebooks, binder and ipad but not get too much in the way, and this tote does the trick. I am pleased with the amount of pocket storage. There are no pockets inside the bag, but there are five on the outside and that is enough for me to fill with pens, my day-timer, whiteout, mini-stapler, and my badge, keys and phone for when I don't feel like taking my purse. The bag is easy to carry and it stands up on its own so you don't have to worry about it turning over and dumping stuff out. The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is a pouch for a water bottle, but there is enough room on the inside to stuff one down into it. Every pocket closes with a sturdy metal zipper or a magnetic snap or clasp. It is also very stylish, although the print I chose makes it look somewhat like a diaper bag. Overall I'm very satisfied. I chose Dakine because my husband and I own several of their other travel bags and I am always impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the Dakine brand. Worth every penny!
