Classic Military Messenger Bags

Seems like a really nice bag so far. The heavy canvas construction is confidence-inspiring and hasn't immediately shown distress or wear, although only time will tell if it holds up. Zippers are similarly beefy, but the square loops of the zipper pulls tend to bind, making them slightly awkward to use. Overall it seems very well built. All hardware is an 'aged' brass that's pretty attractive, although I might have preferred all-black components if available. The front pockets are pretty roomy with nice gusseting, and the side bottle pockets are surprisingly big. A 16oz can will disappear into them. The main pocket is zippered, with a single smaller zippered interior pocket inside the back. The lining of the main pocket is nice and soft, and it's quite roomy. It holds plenty of big books without issue, and could fit a couple changes of clothes and make a decent overnight or light travel bag. I feel like it could do with more interior pockets, maybe an 'organizer' section, but there's plenty of space to carry a separate organizer inside that fits your needs. There's also a fairly large pocket on the back with a small Velcro closure that's easier to access than the multitude of zippered ones, but it's less roomy due to being flat and doesn't seem as secure. Overall it's very versatile, could do anything from range bag to travel bag, and it's a very solid pick if you're after a messenger-style bag. Great bang for the buck.

I was looking for a new bag to carry my art/urban sketching supplies. I originally purchased the Rothco Ammo bag but outgrew this and was looking for something bigger but still similar in style. This bag fit the bill. It also is lined (which gives it some structure) and has great pockets! Large and roomy, one on the back to carry an ipad or small laptop, two big pockets in the front and two pockets for water bottles on either side of the bag. The Ammo bag I had, was not lined, it was only one layer and I had to cut a cardboard strip to give it some structure on the bottom. It had 2 small pockets in front but no other pockets. This bag is very soft, cotton canvas but sturdy. The bag was put together and sewn well and I can see it will last a long time. The straps are also comfortable to wear on the shoulder or cross-body, they are made of cotton instead of nylon. My only gripe are the zippers. Both outside pockets in front do not zip close and I had a little trouble with the large zipper in the main compartment too. I was able to get the large compartment to zip properly in the end. Unfortunately, the two outside pockets are another story. It's unfortunate that where they chose to place/sew the zippers on these pockets, they cut the end where the zipper stops. This may be one factor the zipper can't grip the two strips of teeth and get them to join. The 2nd factor could be a loose slider. I tried clamping the slider as it might have widened or perhaps it was wide to begin with. Still no success in getting those zippers to close. It might have been better to just sew flaps on the top and secure with velcro to keep the pocket closed. I love the size and the quality of this bag so much, I am going to keep it anyway.

This is a great bag ... but it's actually sturdier than I wanted. I wanted a bag that was a little slouchy and this one is pretty structured. But I have to give it 5 stars because it is well-constructed, feels sturdy/durable, has zip pockets unlike many similar bags where I'd fear things would dump out, etc. In other words, it's actually a really great bag that I'm going to keep, but I'm also a little bummed that it's not quite what I wanted. It's a little heavy without anything in it because the canvas is so thick (good for durability). The strap is so long, I think a 6'5" dude could easily use it (but it is fully adjustable for me (5'7"). To answer a question that many others have (because it's hard to determine with just the measurements provided), my 15" x 10" laptop will fit in it width-wise (but barely because of the width of the zipper opening), the zipper won't close (height-wise) because obviously the bag interior isn't 10" high. So if you have a 15" x 10" laptop, your laptop will fit in but you won't be able to zip the bag closed. Okay though because you can flip the flap closed & it velcros, so all is not lost. I can't speak to any other dimensions of laptops, but since I think 15"x10" (closed laptop) is sort of big, many other people with smaller laptops could probably use this as a laptop bag. However, I was planning on using it as a substitute purse, so it's sort of big for that. I'm a medium-sized person, and it sort of overwhelms my body as a purse (like when you see a little 5-year old wearing a backpack on their first-day to kindergarten & it takes up half of their height). Okay not that extreme, but bigger than I was looking for. But again, it's really a well-constructed bag, so I'm not returning it. I'm sure I'll use it in some capacity ... just not the one I was planning on.

Es una excelente mochila de mensajero, con gran espacio y de lona de calidad, es pesada pero se entiende por lo que brinda de espacios, los cierres son de seguridad, cosa que muchos no entienden; se traban porque son para que no se abran con facilidad; si buscas una mochila para llevar muchos documentos, libros y demas es excelente... ojo que para laptops no es; no tiene compartimientos para mantener el equipo quieto.

Esta bastante bien, parece sólida y cumple. Lo único malo que le veo es que es mas grande de lo que esperaba por fuera, y por dentro hay menos espacio de lo que parece, no lo aprovecha todo lo que podría. Aún así no es exagerado y es cómoda.

Dispose d'une bonne toile qui respire la solidité et la confiance. A voir son comportement dans le temps niveau usure
