I'm a college kid who just bought a new 17 inch laptop for school and gaming. I needed a bag to carry it in that could also carry its accessories and what I need for class. It won't fit any huge science-subject textbook if my laptop is in there, but it will carry multiple notebooks, my tablet, chargers, lunch, random pouches of stuff that I carry, and is very easy to organize. All the zippers function well, stitching has not unraveled anywhere, and the pockets are very sturdy. The material on the outside is that scratchy-ish plastic woven material, for the water resistance. If you have sensory issues with the texture of certain fabrics, it might be a little unpleasant. However, it keeps everything dry and repels all sorts of dirt and grime. I often walk between classes in pouring rain, sometimes a mile between buildings, and I never have to worry about my stuff getting ruined. I considered spraying it with tent-waterproofing spray, like I do with most of my bags, but this one doesn't really seem to need it. My only issue is that the straps are very thin and really dig into my shoulder after a long day. I'm probably going to add padding to them. If you're not going to carry an absurd amount of stuff like I am, the thinness of the straps probably won't bother you. They're a good length, and the bag hangs well even if I'm wearing my winter coat. You could wear the puffiest puff coat and still slide this bag onto your shoulder with no problem. If I ever travel again (not for a long while!) I'm definitely going to use this bag. It'd be perfect for flights. If you're looking for a sturdy work/travel/school bag, I highly recommend trying this one. Read more

This bag is quite roomy and gives adequate space for laptop, folders, notebooks and whatever you need to carry with you. There is an inner zippered area which is a great place to secure more sensitive or personal items. The only negative would be if you put a lot of items in the bag, the shoulder strap is uncomfortable on your shoulder because it is narrow and hard. But overall, the quality is great as it seems to be quite sturdy and stylish. Read more

I am old and this the first bag that actually fits all I want to carry and is not stuffed and unwieldy. I have 2 purse organizers (1 for billfold and business stuff and 1 for makeup and personal items). They are about 8 in wide. I can get both in this bag side by side length-wise, instead of on top of each other. This bag also allows me to carry an folding umbrella and poncho, sunglasses in a case and what's more there is room for a book or laptop and it all lays neat and flatl no bulging and stuffed-look. There is a pocket for a small pad of paper and a couple of little pockets to put pens. The zipper closure keeps things safe. No worries bout everything falling out if the purse tips over in the car. First time I do not need to dig or empty the whole purse to find what I want. All easy to see and find when purse is unzipped. I have just bought this in JUL 2020, so I do not know how long it will last, but without being stuffed and strained, I expect it to last longer. And the price ($30) is so good that even if it lasts a year and I replace it, I could buy this 4x and still be paying the typical price for this size of bag. But it looks well made so I expect more out of it. My only concern is the zipper is not as heavy duty as I expected on a bag this big, however it is not flimsy. I am very please with the purchase. And I highly recommend it. If it lasts a long time it will deserve more than 5 stars from me! If the 17 inch bag came in a turquoise or aqua color as well as the gray, I would buy another right away. Perhaps I will review this again in a year once I determine durability. If you need to carry around a lot of stuff, I say go for this bag! Read more

I bought this bag for a personal travel bag rather than a daily laptop bag. It does fit my 15" laptop easily, but I'll probably never carry the laptop in this bag (I have a different bag for work). This was packaged nicely and not overly folded like some bags- I hate when they fold the base part and it gets a crease - this one came out great. Exterior: The material has more of a canvas feel than I expected, I thought it would be slicker, I like this better. Handles are a great length for me (I'm 5'8" tall), they seem sturdy, it does not come with a shoulder strap. There is one exterior slip pocket, no other exterior pockets, no luggage sleeve. The main zipper zips fully and it feels like the contents are secure if it should tip over. I expected this bag would be very soft-sided and not stand on its own - I was correct, it will not stand on its own. The bottom does seem to remain flat when lifted even without the insert I tried. Interior: The material is a little stiffer than a standard purse liner, somewhat slick, but not silky, looks like it would wipe clean easily. The laptop area has a padded separator and easily holds a 15" laptop with room to spare. There is a centered zippered area that is the full length of the bag. One side has a zippered pocket, and the other one has 2 slip pockets with 2 pen slips. I thought I would try an insert - I used a plastic book tote (15"x6.25") and it works - the bag will stand on its own with the insert and you can still fit the laptop in. Not sure if I will actually use it with the insert - might be an inch too wide for my preference. I plan to use this for road trips (possibly plane trips as a personal item) - to pack the family's toiletries, chargers, an iPad, etc. It's a nice simple bag at an affordable price. Read more

Exactly what I was looking for. Big enough for my laptop and iPad, with enough space for everything else. I like the pockets to place small items like phone and small wallet! Love it! Read more
