Review: The BEST bag I have EVER purchased! - Update: I thought I'd post a more recent update of this bag - it's September 2016 and this bag is STILL going strong!! I ended up having my husband sew some patterned cloth across the front flap in a wide horizontal bar (to cover where the ripped-out USMC patches used to be; lost my moto, lol); I punched decorative rivets along the bottom edge of the flap; and I have a collection of pins and buttons on the flap - all for personalization and decoration. An inconsequential inner seam or two has popped, but it has not obstructed the functionality of the bag or the water resistance (the decorations haven't damaged the water resistance, either). All the hardware is still in excellent condition and all straps and loops are still as sturdy as the day it arrived. I still absolutely love this amazing little bag. It has been through SO much with me and it is really comforting knowing that I can get through an unexpected rainstorm without everything in my bag getting rained on (I'm not an umbrella kind of girl; I'm a dance-in-the-rain kind of girl). I would buy from this manufacturer again in a heartbeat and I would buy this bag again, ten times over!! Also, an unexpected bonus was that my husband is not bothered by occasionally having to wear my "purse" because it really looks gender-neutral, and he likes the pin of Bender (from Futurama) that I put on it. Original 2011 review: I absolutely LOVE this bag! I love the colour and the canvas feel. I also love the durability and the fact that it is waterproof. (well, probably more water-resistant because I wouldn't recommend submerging it) It is constantly surprising me with how much I can put in it - on a normal day, I pack my nook, a 16 oz water bottle, my planner, keys, tissues, gum, a snack bar, and my wallet and still have plenty of room to spare! (It has been known to carry binders and my lunch with ease, sometimes groceries, and on Sundays my Bible fits perfectly in the back pocket.) I am constantly getting compliments on it (from military personnel and civilians alike) and many, many people have asked me where I got it. One of my husband's recruiters loved it (and honestly might have "tactically aquired" it if it wasn't my purse) and has actually been the only person to this date to know that it was a military map bag, even though I plaster Marine Corps pins and patches all over it. I haven't had any issues with the rings or tabs connecting the shoulder strap, and the strap itself adjusts with ease. The snaps have stayed in place even when I have overloaded the bag. I have decorative pins in the canvas of the cover flap and they can be inserted and removed without any damage to the canvas fibers or waterproof qualities of the canvas. I left the side flaps intact as I like how it adds extra water protection; you just have to fold them in a little before closing the front flap otherwise they can look a little strange. The only drawback of the bag is that pens do not fit comfortably into the little elastic slots on the front inside of the bag, so I don't use them and consider them decoration.
Review: Better than expected. - Durable. I really like the hard back panel. Lays nicely at your side while suporting contents. I might have to buy another one in a different color. I really like it alot. I checked out some of the other items this brand had for sale on desertcart and bought another bag from them. I really like the simple yet versitle style. It isn't flashy but functional, sturdy and comfortable to wear!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roomy, well put together
*by J***C on September 22, 2025*

Very nicely made, I like it. The only thing I could fault is the snaps take a little "oomph" to close, but it that means they hold a bit better, not a problem.
