This is the ultimate travle bag. I know it says messenger bag like the postal carriers used to carry. This thing is spacious and well built. It appears to be very durable and enough room for the perfect weekender bag.
First off we will start with all of the storage space. The first one to mention is the zipper in the back it is a large and deep enough pocket that I put my 10" tablet in. Next you lift the front flap and there are 2 button pockets there. I use these to hold my charging equipment in one pocket and my personal care items in the other. It fits my brush, tootbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, flossers, deodorant, body spray, and cologne. then opening the large compartment there is a sipper along the back of the bag that I use for my other not commonly used personal care items. Now on the front side of this large inside compartment are 2 small pockets that do not zip closed. I use these to put a pair of socks in each one. Lastly onto the large compartment I put 2 pair of shorts, 2 boxers, 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, and my Sudoko puzzle book. I still have room to spare if there is any other items I might need to take along.
The bag is constructed out of high quality cotton canvas and feels like denim to me. So from there you know that it is somewhat durable just from the material it is made from. Next the zippers appear to be stitched well and does not look like they tried to put it together as cheaply as possible. The cover over the top snaps into place to hold your items in place. Most of the pockets have a leather lining around them or they have snaps to hold the flaps securely. The main carry strap is very long and will go over the top of the head to the opposite shoulder which makes it really difficult for some one to bag snatch it from you.
This is a bag that, I as a man actually feel comfortable carrying for luggage. With it being uses as a luggage bag you do not have to fight with a hardside case that does not give when storing. I think it would be a bit large for an everyday bag though. This bag would be an amazing diaper bag. There are pockets for everything bottles, diapers, wipes, toys, snacks, food, changes of clothes. The only downside I have found to this bag is that it is a soft side and does not protect the contents as well as the normal hard cases.
If you are looking for a great bag with endless uses and extremely durable this is one to check out for sure. I would like to thank Skorch/Hampton Green and affiliates for sending me this great messenger bag to try out and give my opinion.
