I purchased this bag for my husband for his graduation from the police academy.
I was shocked at how roomy it truly is!
He is able to put all of his equipment in it:
Clipboards, citations, flashlight, pens, weather gear, snacks.
It's a very sturdy product that can certainly handle being 'beaten' in a trunk. It's also useful for going to court or even going to the gym, so you can have all of your information & gear with you.
This is an A+ product & I'm going to buy one for myself, I love it so much!
