User Reviews about Classic Canvas Messenger Bags

This bag is so perfect! Can't complain at all about the quality. I love the velcro flaps as it's easier and convenient to get to my stuff inside the bag. -- strong, durable, and comfortable

I was looking for a medium size canvas bag to carry a few work files and small materials. My previous bag (A Jack Bauer bag from the TV show 24, "Season 2" finally wore out). When I typed in "Jack Bauer bag", hoping to find the same bag I had, this bag appeared. This bag must be a newer bag in later seasons. Anyway, this bag is good, but a lot bigger than I thought so I will be using it for travel rather than a work bag. I wouldn't recommend this bag for a laptop unless you are very careful with the way you handle the bag off your shoulder. I think this bag will be a good "carry on" bag or if you have large files, stacks of papers, magazines and/or small books to carry to school or work, then it would be a good bag to buy for the price. It stays on your shoulder okay and has five small pockets: One small pocket on each end, two medium pockets under the flap side by side, and one very small zipper pocket inside. The velcro holds down the flap okay unless you have something very heavy inside, like a laptop or heavy books. It only has a shoulder strap and not a hand handle like my other one did. All and All, a good bag for the price. -- Good Bag for the price

I purchased the black, canvas messenger bag about two weeks ago to tote my netbook and work related materials. It also holds a paperback and a couple of magazines, no problem, for my lunch breaks. I've carried everything from construction plans to an SLR camera, and occasionally, both at once. This bag has lots of room and pockets, and it's almost perfect for what I need. The bag has two pockets at each end that will hold water bottles, a smart phone, sunglasses, etc., and two pockets on the inside front for a wallet, pens, gum, lip balm, etc. It is free form so it doesn't stand up on it's own, but that works for me. The only set back is that the inside pockets don't seal with snaps (or velcro or whatever) like the two end pockets. The outside flap is held down with two velcro strips on each pocket, which makes the outside flap look nice, but you don't have the security or confidence that stuff isn't going fall out when it is lying on its side or on the ground. The strap is adjustable for over the shoulder or across the shoulder length. I love this bag, and it looks rugged enough to last awhile even with me hauling all my $#!t around. -- Great messenger bag.

I received this bag 3 days after I got it! Its a perfect, subtle, military style bag for me, being military. I can't wait to test it out on the trails with all the flying/traveling I do. It has one large compartment that would easily fit a large laptop with a sleeve. The design is heavy duty, though its definitely light weight. The canvas is a nice feel in comparison to the other crap most lap top bags are made of. I would suggest this to any young person! -- Great Bag!
