Everest Luggage Canvas Messenger, Black, Black, One Size

I spent hours looking for a bag that was *just* the right size for me. I wanted something big enough for my MacBook Air, a couple of notebooks, pens, mobile phone, and all my usual kit. Everything I found was either too large, too small, made from too many synthetic materials, or extortionately overpriced. Those that nearly fit the bill for the MBA were often too thin to comfortably hold the rest of my accoutrements. (Hey, bag makers. Remember notebooks? Real, bound notebooks, filled with paper? Used with pens and pencils? Some of still actually write, you know...) I stumbled upon this one, a bargain at the price, and though it appeared it might be a snug fit, decided to give it a go.It *is* a slightly snug fit, which is actually ideal. My MBA fits nicely, along with a journal, a kindle, a leather case with my pens, my phone, specs, chequebook, and there are a couple of pockets left over. The construction seems quite solid, the strap is wide enough to be comfortable (though some padding would be a nice plus), and it's nice enough looking. Sure, it could be a bit more hip, maybe a little more urban chic, but you have to pay for that...I'd love to see some additional features, like pen loops, and something other than velcro to hold the pockets' flaps in place, but this would all add to the cost, and isn't really that important. The interior has a zippered pocket, not quite as wide as the bag, and the zipper may scratch the back of the computer, so beware of it, but this is the only thing I'd really consider a design flaw. For the price, this bag is hard to beat.So, 11" MBA users frustrated by the dearth of bags of an appropriate size, not wanting to have their little laptop swimming in a vast sea of empty space (really, who needs a bag that's nearly 20" wide, anyway? What do you carry in there?) you can be comfortable knowing this one will fit nicely, along with the a few other necessities.Glad I found this one.

This bag is exactly as described. It is larger than some of the smaller field bags, but definitely smaller than a messenger bag. I looked and researched countless bags before biting the bullet and ordering this bag. I am so glad I chose this bag. I wanted something big enough that I could fit my wallet, phone, keys, kindle and a few extras in, but when I wasn't carrying the kindle and extras it wouldn't be huge. A messenger bag was too big and I couldn't find a small field bag I liked(some of the reviews on them are scared, toxic dye that rubs off on your clothes, ugh!) and was reasonably priced. This bag has it all! If the measurements given aren't exact they are pretty darn close. I carry all my daily necessities in this bag, sling it across my body and forget it's there. With just the daily stuff, I can actually just buckle my seatbelt over it, no need to take it off. Yet, there is more than enough room to throw in the Kindle another few books, stuff a hat and scarf in there and probably something else! I got the olive green color and I live it, no dye rubbing off. The over flap reaches to the bottom of the bag unless you really stuff it full. I personally never clip it shut, though the clip works nice and is tight, and don't have problems with anything falling out. There is a zippered pocket on the main inside that is large enough to get your kindle in(maybe a tablet not sure) then an open slim pocket the same size as the main compartment in front of the main compartment. In front of that is one open pocket I usually keep a pen and scratch paper inside. Next to that are 2 pockets one on top of the other that have a Velcro closure flap. On the outside at either end are pockets that also have Velcro closure flaps. In one I keep my phone( I have a Samsung Galaxy s2 and there is more than enough room and in the other I usually keep my keys. I can not say enough good about this bag, I really am glad I picked this one!

I have spent many hours searching for the perfect bag on Amazon, looking for a combination of utility, durability, style, and price. I am really happy with my purchase and am giving a more detailed description and review of the bag in hopes of helping others who are trying to figure out if this is the bag for them.Measurements: Everest lists the bag's measurements are listed as 11.75" x 10" x 4." My measurements are as follows: main compartment (11" x 10" x 3.5"), side pockets (6" x 4" x 1.5"), Velcro pockets under the flap (5" x 3"), larger pocket under flap (6" x 7"), secondary compartment (11" x 8"), zippered compartment (10" x 8"), strap when fully extended (52" x 1.5"), ID window (3.5” x 3”).Materials/Quality: The cotton canvas feels thick and durable. The bag is single stitched. The main compartment is padded with foam. The interior pocket has a nylon coil zipper. The plastic buckle seems pretty strong and secure. The flap is big and heavy enough to keep bag closed even if I don’t buckle it. I purchased the black bag and I am happy it is a dark black, unlike the one pictured above.As mentioned, I am very happy with this bag. It feels and appears pretty durable. I can easily fit a book, notebook, and some folders in the main compartment, which is also padded all around to provide some extra protection. The secondary compartment allows me to have quick access to a notebook or other items. The side pockets can easily fit a water bottle or even a thermos. The velcro pockets under the flap keep miscellaneous items secure. The larger pocket under the flap can hold pens and a cell phone. The ID window provides a very visible place for people to spot your info in case you leave your bag somewhere. The adjustable strap is plenty long for me, with excess to spare (I am 5’ 10”). The zippered compartment allows me to keep more valuable items secure.This is a great everyday bag at a great price for someone who has more to carry than just keys and a wallet but doesn’t want to carry around a huge laptop bag.

I read the reviews before I bought it, so I knew what to expect, and the bag is exactly as described. I am using it as a purse, and it is working out fine. It has enough pockets that keys and other items don't disappear into a vast cavern, never to be seen again, but not so many that I forget where I put everything. I would recommend it.

It was a gift for my 20 year old daughter, to replace something similar she was using. She loves it. Very sturdy, lots of pockets. Has room for her camera, water, snacks, phone etc. A place for everything. I bought the greenish colour. Looks good.

I've used this bag day to day for a number of things including my camera on a hike. No issues or concerns.

This bag is so durable and versatile, it is perfect! I use it as a combo diaper bag and purse. It has a ton of pockets so there is a place for everything. I can pull out the baby supplies and it is stylish enough to use as a purse as well, even though it fits both my diaper bag and purse contents in it. It is deceptively large as it looks like for the size it should carry much less than it does. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
