Monster High Skull Goth Large Backpack Bag Tote 16" NEW STYLE

Monster High Skull Goth Large Backpack Bag Tote 16' NEW STYLEExactly as advertised. Searched and searched for this for my grand daughter who had to have a Monster High Back pack. She loves it.

This bag looks great and was just the thing my danghter was looking for however in 2 and 1/2 weeks the zipper broke and the sides of the bag ripped. Since it was only such a short time and my 8 year old daughter is not a rough child I believe this bag was not made very sturdily. I ended up actually pulling out the needle and thread to repair it because my daughter was so distraught at the prospect of losing her monster high bookbag. Loved the look though.

I purchased 2 of these for my 2 daughters. They love them and use them for outings to carry their dolls, crayons, blankets, spare clothes, etc.. They are home schooled so we don't use them for school or on a daily basis.

Kidorable Fireman Backpack

Kidorable Fireman Backpack, Red, One SizeBought this a costume piece but ended up using it as my sons everyday back pack and it has held up great and he gets tons of compliments on it.

The cutest thing I have ever seen. It is a backpack not a diaper bag but really cute. Couldn't fit bottles in the to side pockets because they were too small but, like I said sooo cute.

I purchased this for my little boy who is 2. It has just enough room for all his trains & cars that he likes taking with him everywhere. You don't have to worry about it getting wet either because of the material. Very cute for any toddler that likes fire trucks.

My 3yr old son loves his fireman backpack! It is the perfect size for him and he can put toys in all the side pockets, while I put an extra set of clothing and sippy cup in the main section. We're going on a long airplane trip this summer and he'll be wearing this in the airport. The plastic exterior and inside lining makes it easy to wipe clean, it could almost be used as a lunchbag too. Highly recommend for little fireman!

Dakine Terminal Pack

Dakine Terminal Pack, Black StripesI really like this backpack. I did a lot of research before getting this one so here are my thoughts after having it for 7 monts or so. It can definitely hold a lot of stuff, the computer and inside computer/tablet pockets are very nice. Having only one main pocket makes it hard to divide up things like dirty/clean clothes if that's something important to you. Also, the zippers don't zip very far down so there is often digging required for something at the bottom. The other pockets on the outside are very convenient and well placed. One main problem I noticed is if the main pocket of the bag is stuffed full, the two side pockets are pretty much worthless because they are expandable into and not out of the bag. So far I have used it for school, taken it on a backpacking trip to other countries, and used it as a day bag. It's held up well with only some threads coming loose on the water bottle pocket. Very comfortable and stylish. Definitely recommend it.

Bought this for the wife. She can destroy most anything. It has held up well. Better built than anything else I have tried

Zippers are the most important part of a bag pack. This bag has very cheap zippers installed, as of matter of fact it came with a broken or missing zipper already.

Well thought-out design with plenty pf pockets and storage space. For my purposes, however, the outside bottle holder is too low and too wide which allowed my flask to fall out constantly.

I was concerned over how inexpensive this backpack was. The last quicksilver we bought my son was over $50, but it lasted 4th-6th grades, which says a lot for a boy. So far, I am happy with the quality, seems to be comparable to the last one.

Stephen Joseph Boys 2-7 Boy's Quilted Backpack

This is a colorful and beautifully designed item for a child's first backpack. It was quite a hit as a birthday gift. The durability is yet to be determined. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

5.11 Covrt18 Backpack

5.11 Covrt 18 Backpack Blue/SteelI am not military or LE, I simply want a backpack that doesn't advertise itself as "I'm expensive, think about robbing my owner" when travelling in foreign countries. I currently own 2 different Northface bags (typical school "book bag" types) and an Osprey Stratos 24. The Osprey is better than the Northface bags but I feel conspicuous using it my mistake really...should only be used for hiking. Size wise, this bag looks the same as the Northface

I got the 5.11 Covrt18 bag (navy) a week before I traveled to 3 islands in the Caribbean. The bag is good looking without standing out in any way. It has the standard laptop case which is fine. This bag really stands out in 3 ways from my perspective:

1) Spaciousness of main compartment

2) Weight distribution/comfort

3) Size and organization (ie functionality) of additional compartments

I stored passports, 4 days of clothing, a Canon DLSR, 2 books (1 was 1100 pages), 3 phone chargers, camera charger, snacks, earplugs, headphones, writing paper & pens. I carried this onto the plane and was able to fit it under the seat(aisle seat) with minimal shoving.

The main compartment is surprisingly big. I was able to put clothing on all 4 sides of my camera without feeling like i was crushing it. It has 2 grommeted holes on the bottom, which at first I didn't like thinking water would get in but I quickly realized I'd never put my bag down in a puddle. The holes let the lint and cruft fall out vs my other bags which require periodic upside down shakeouts. The holes are smaller than a dime so you can still toss your change wherever is easiest.

I don't understand why this bag is so comfortable compared to the others I own. Yes, the shoulder straps are cushioned but thats never bothered me. Rather, the weight seems to be better distributed? I don't feel like I need to walk hunched forward slightly and frankly forgot I had it on when standing at the airport for 6 hrs.

The northface bags have 700 zippers, straps, openings but I hated them. The Covrt18 makes perfect sense the 2ndary compartments don't 'black hole' your stuff when you need to get things out. The arrangement makes it easy to recognize which compartment you're opening. My 2 favorites are the very top compartment, lined with soft material. Perfect for sunglasses, cellphone, keys, earbuds, gum & other things that you may need to pull out frequently. The other is the 2 overlapping square compartments on the outside perfect for throwing passports in one and paper/notes in the other.

I've only had it for 2 weeks now so I can't comment on durability but have no reason to question it. Yes it is slightly more expensive than other bags but when I add up the 3 I've purchased prior to Covrt18, it's close to $200 spent trying to find the right bag. Buy the right one first.

UPDATE: July 2012

I've used this about 6 times so far and it's still in like-new condition. I haven't found any problems or 'cons' since the original review. I took it to Italy for a week and to Las Vegas for a 3 day weekend. For Vegas this was the only thing I brought fit 2 shorts, 1 jeans, pair of dress shoes, 6 shirts, bathing suit, toiletries and a kindle room for more. If you don't already roll everything for packing I'd suggest trying it out with this. The bundle method is better for avoiding wrinkles with suits and dress shirts IMO...

I wanted very badly to like this backpack. I could not have been more excited to see the UPS guy pull up today. When I pulled it out of the box, it became obvious that the quality control on these things is sub-par. While the bag itself seemed to be very functional, and all of their advertisements seemed to be accurate, several of the straps and zippers on the one I ordered were either already broken (zippers on the inside pockets, which I was able to fix after fiddling with it for about a half hour), or they broke upon their first use (the right hand elastic strap on the water bottle holder popped the first time I tried to cinch it up). I am returning this bag, and am now debating whether I should try another one or not. I was purchasing this for a trip I am going on in a week, and I just hope that I can get another unit that fast if I decide to get another one of these. I am not sure what the quality control process is for these, but it seems that it needs to be adjusted. Had I have paid half the price for this backpack, it wouldn't be a big deal, but at this price to have things breaking on the backpack right out of the box is unacceptable. Very disappointing from a backpack of this caliber...

**UPDATE**

Ok, I did indeed wind up purchasing another one, and this time with better results. I have since been to Korea, China, backpacking, fishing, and have used it at the office every day, and it has actually been a great little backpack. It is indeed laid out well, and it just adapts so well to so many different scenarios. It is also well balanced and extremely comfortable. I bumped it up a star (really wanted to give it 3 1/2, but half in not an option). The reason I didn't go up to five with it is because I am still a little concerned that I heard nothing at all from the company. In fact, I even sent them a contact through their website and nothing. The other thing I am very concerned about is that I left a similar review on the the companies website which never got posted. It is always a little shady to me when a website lets you "review" products, but the negative ones never post. This is akin to false advertisement if you ask me.

In summary, the backpack itself (second time around) is actually really good and I am glad overall that I gave it another shot. The company does not seem to be concerned with pleasing their customers (at least average Joes...maybe it would be different if I were in the service or in law enforcement...), nor will they allow honest feedback on their website's posted comments and "ratings." Again, for a backpack of this price that is in competition with other companies who offer lifetime warranties on their products, this seems like an unwise practice.

There you go! Now you decide...

This well thought-out backpack has lots of room and many pockets for organization. The padded laptop sleeve is as good as any other backpack's; a 17" MacBook Pro will *just* fit, though the top corners are very close to the top of the bag. The side-entry pocket is great for stowing an iPad our you can use the big front pocket for the same purpose. The two small pockets on the front are perfect for small items you want to get to quickly like USB sticks, ear-buds or change. The "admin" pocket on the front-top has plenty of room for pens, business cards, small note pads and other "office supplies". The main compartment where the laptop can be stowed expands quite a bit, you could drop a 3" binder in there along with the laptop. There is no dedicated "paperwork" pocket like you find in most laptop backpacks, but you can use the main compartment or, if it's just a folder or two, a great place is the compartment that can also hold the hydration pack. The mesh zippered pockets in the main compartment are great for stowing whatever you want to carry that needs to be contained/organized.

This bag is more than just a laptop bag, it is intended to be used in the field and is just as tough as a typical day-hiking bag by one of the major outdoor bag manufacturers. On a recent trip, I dumped out all my business stuff and put in a hydration bladder, first aid kit, snacks, maps, etc and went on an all day hike. The shoulder straps and sternum strap are well designed and distribute the weight of the backpack to keep your shoulders and back from getting sore on long treks. The surfaces that contact your back, shoulders and chest are made of a semi-breathable padding to help keep you cooler and the padding on the back has a channel for ventilation. The empty weight is very light, the fabric is water repellant and most of the zippers have rain covers that keep (much)water from leaking through the zippers and into the bag. After a trip from the US to Europe then Asia and back the backpack still looks brand new and will certainly last for years. This is a great bag and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new laptop backpack.

One last comment about carrying the 17" MacBook. My laptop is in a Speck Products lexan case that will protect it from bumps, but does add about 3/16" to the dimensions. With the case, the laptop still fits fine. Because there is virtually no room left at the top of the bag, I was concerned about the top corners of the laptop rubbing on the fabric and causing wear. I put a 2"x3" patch of moleskin on each upper inside surface where this contact could occur, just in case. The moleskin has been there for over a month and shows no sign of wear and isn't trying to peel off, and there is no sign of wear on the outside of the bag.

I finally convinced my wife to let me order her a EDC bag. I did a lot of research and decided on the 5.11 COVRT 18. I read the review from J. Sutton (posted on this site) and was a little concerned however I decided to order 2 of the bags anyway. That was a mistake! Upon arrival, the one I ordered for my wife was damaged / broken. The top carrying handle was torn in two. I examined it further and it appears the handle was yanked on until it gave way and broke through the middle. The stitching around the handle was frayed and, well, it was completely sheared in two (in the middle). I've never seen a pack handle do this! This should have been caught by quality control as it was an OBVIOUS defect in workmanship and is the first thing I noticed as I pulled it out of the packaging (unless a disgruntled employee shipped it in this manner??!!). I examined the pack I ordered for me and found other frayed / loose stitching which made me nervous. I called 5.11 but was directed to a voice mail. I left two messages explaining the quality / damage issues but never received a phone call back. BOTTOM LINE: This pack is definitely sub-par when it comes to quality. I would not trust it in the field. I've heard other police officers say 5.11 has been producing gear with issues recently, but I didn't believe it until I saw it. Buyer beware! My search continues for a well built EDC pack. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I have lost confidence in 5.11's quality and customer service.

I am a firearms and CHL (Concealed Handgun License) instructor. I am constantly looking for a backpack or other way of carrying my work gear that does not look Tacticool and, therefore, broadcasts to the world "THIS GUY IS CARRYING A GUN!!" This bag is perfect for carrying all work day essentials. I have a HUGE 17" Dell laptop that fits in the main compartment perfectly. I also have a full sized Glock .45 with 2 mags, and a S&W snubby with speedloader in the velcro concealed compartment. My last backpack seemed to be so heavy, but it's stuff I use every day so I have to carry it around. I have no idea what the deal is with this backpack, but I swear the exact same load out I carried in my lst pack FEELS lighter in this backpack. I guess it's the location/spacing of the straps...not sure. But I love it. I also should mention that I'm 6'7" and have broad shoulders, and this pack fits fine (for those that find it hard to fit a good backpack).

I love the sporty, pleasant looking colors offered and love even more that it does not scream TACTICAL!

Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Oakley Men's Flak Pack Xl

Oakley Men's Flak Pack, Shadow, One SizeI'll admit: I'm a bit of a backpack snob or connoisseur. I replace them frequently as soon as they start to lose shape or fray. I often get them replaced under warranty if they start to fail. My normal brand has been Swiss Gear most recently.

I am very pleased with this backpack. I liked the looks online, but as soon as I got it, I thought this backpack was going to be too small. It is also quite light weight. I was also a bit concerned that the backpack might be flimsy being as light weight as it is. The backpack is not flimsy.

It doesn't have a nice pre-formed shape as shown in the pictures but does hold shape quickly and hold its shape once used a few times. There are three large pockets large enough for a small laptop. I've loaded this thing up with far more than I could ever fit in my SwissGear Computer Backpack (Black), even though it looks larger.

There are only two knocks I have on this backpack-first, it has a smell-a plastic smell. It almost smells like perm solution. I'm hoping the smell fades. Second, it doesn't contain an internal zippable pocket that can be used for small items, change, (I know, who uses cash anymore or coins?) But I do have a need for a small zippable pocket.

Otherwise, fully recommended! It gets a lot of positive comments when others see me carrying it, is very light weight and does the job well, and in a very organized way.

I spent all summer searching for a backpack for college this fall that would fit my 17" HP Pavilion laptop. It is extremely hard to find a bag that will fit a large laptop plus 3 to 4 textbooks and notebooks and accessories. I thought this would be the perfect bag but to my HUGE disappointment, my laptop does not fit in the designated laptop pocket! It does fit in the main compartment, but it is a very tight squeeze, the corners are poking hard on the bag so I'm praying the material is strong and doesn't tear. With that said, even with my laptop in the main compartment, 4 textbooks, 2 notebooks, plus accessories...I still have tons of room! The bag looks way smaller than what it really is (despite the laptop issue). I have the solar green bag and it is much brighter green than the picture on the website, almost fluorescent! Despite my laptop not fitting the way I would like, I love the bag and it has tons of room and it looks awesome, so I am keeping it. I recommend this bag if you have a large class load with lots of books and a laptop smaller than 17".

I bought this backpack for a trip out of the country. I liked that it had a padded section for ipad/laptops. It is a good size, large enough to hold a fair amount of stuff but not enormous. Its good quality and I loved the colors. The only thing is the straps are wide for me. It is a men's backpack and I'm a small framed 5ft 2in woman. The support strap that comes across the chest comes off easily if it is not buckled. It fell off several times in the airport when I was in a hurry and just threw one strap over a shoulder. Overall I am pleased with the purchase though. I would recommend

TYR Big Mesh Mummy Gear Bag

TYR Big Mesh Mummy Gear Bag, BlackI liked the size of the bag. Could get all of my swim gear in easily (no swim fins). The exterior pocket was nice feature. The color of the bag was nice also. Unfortunately after using it only 4 times the bag literally started falling apart at the seams. The edges are frayed so I can't even fix it myself. I was not rough with the bag. I was expecting a lot better quality. I would not recommend purchasing this gear bag.

I requested and received this bag as a Christmas gift. I already have a mesh swim bag but wanted this bag because it had the pocket and the water bottle holder on the front. Similar to another reviewer, all was well for about 2 weeks and then the bag began to fray everywhere. I do take the bag to the pool daily but I'm not rough with it. I've now had the bag just a few days over 3 months and the pocket, which I really like, has frayed so badly that it has almost fallen off. The bottle holder seems to be holding on but it's fraying as well. It's such a shame. This is a great bag but it's made with such cheap material. Maybe Tyr should use rip-stop nylon instead. Other than the crappy material falling apart the bag has been great. It's spacious and holds everything I use at the pool. I gave this bag a rating of 2 stars because in my book, if a product can't last more than 6 months it doesn't deserve anything better.

I bought this at a brick-and-mortar store, but it is the same bag all the same.

Worked great for a few weeks, then the stitching around the top where the straps all meet up, pulled apart of the seam. I would think this would happen, given the material, my school bags were all made of that low-grade nylon fabric, but was bummed that it happened, I really like the bag.

I am going to try a little duct tape on it, before I buy a new one. I think I will buy a new one, eventually, even though this one got messed up in only a few weeks of (daily) use.

I purchased this because of the size and the expandable bottom. My Speedo bag, although made extremely well, is too small for all of my gear.

I read the negative reviews, but wanted to see the quality for myself. I should have listened....I am sending it back to Amazon.

I ended up purchasing the netted Cressi Orca Bag on Amazon. It's a snorkel/dive bag, so it' s made with excellent materials. It looks like it will last a lifetime.

It is pretty LARGE, so if you are looking for something small, get the Speedo Deluxe Mesh Equipment Bag. At first, I was hesitant to take the large Cressi bag to my swim practice, but I realized that I can stop taking two bags.

I can get the following very easily in my bag.

Swim parka

Large beach towel

Change of clothes

Kickboard (Finish)

Two sets of fins (Zoomers and regular)

Swim snorkel

Pull buoy

Swim paddles

The front pocket is PERFECT for the small stuff:

2 pair of goggles

Swim caps

Waterproof IPod and headphones

Swim hair protector (spray bottle)

Nose plugs

Lap counter

As you can see, I carry a lot of gear!! So if you are like me and need a big bag to lug to your swim practice, the Cressi bag is a great solution!

But DON'T get this TYR BAG!!!!!!

Pacsafe 120L Backpack & Bag Protector

Pacsafe Backpack and Bag Protector Size: 120I bought this for a backpacking trip through and while it was good for preventing someone from stealing my entire pack it had some major drawbacks. First, it was cumbersome. It took a while to unwrap, even longer to repack, and fitting it over your pack and getting the lock on took 3-5 every single time. I've never used one of these before, and the design made perfect sense for what it is, but I still hated using it. On top of that, it was heavy. For backpackers who are trying to keep their packs light this thing definitely adds weight. Further, although it would prevent your backpack from being stolen when the holes are so big when the metal is stretched that anyone could get their hands inside your pack and steal most anything but a laptop (which would've been too big to fit through the holes). Not sure if I'll ever bring it with me when backpacking again.

Air Pack Large Navy/Dark Gray

Air Pack Large Navy/Dark GrayI bought this backpack for my daughter who has been seeing a chiropractor for some lower back/hip problems that I suspect are the result of using an over-the-shoulder bag for school last year. This was recommended by the chiropractor's office. The first day she used it, she noticed a difference in how her back felt by the end of the school day. Very reasonable price for a good quality, sturdy backpack in comparison with other higher-end backpacks --cheaper here than on their website and definitely cheaper than lots of chiropractor visits:( wish I had this last year. Ordered Friday night and delivered the next Wednesday (5 days) --definitely recommend.

The air-sac that hugs your lower back is PROBABLY the greatest idea EVER, alas--the shoulder straps have MINIMAL PADDING, and because i'm six-feet tall and SLENDER--the straps SLIP to the ends of my shoulders and therefore CREATE the stress that CAUSES various aches and pains!

SOLUTION???

An adjustable cross the chest BELT COULD make THIS product adjustable for ALL..but THAT ain't gonna happen!

ALPS OutdoorZ Ranger Day Pack (Realtree Xtra Camo Fabric)

ALPS OutdoorZ Ranger Day PackI bought this to carry turkey calls, water, and extra clothes with me on my days in the blind. This little backpack does the trick with ease. I was actually surprised at how roomy it is and how much stuff it can carry. The bag itself is lightweight, which is nice. Who wants a heavy backpack that you'll then fill with heavy stuff. Even my boyfriend has asked to borrow it when he goes hunting on days I'm unable to go! I'm considering buying another one the price is too good to pass up!

I spend a lot of time outdoors and having this thing is really helpful. For the price you can't go wrong. Tons of storage it's lightweight and carries really well. Anytime I go somewhere outdoors I end up bringing it along. I'm very satisfied and everyone asks me where I got it from. Very satisfied and job well done!

I purchased 2 of these bags so that they could take up permanent residence in the back of my 2 vehicles. I wanted something that wasn't too big or bulky so that it wouldn't take up too much space or look really gaudy in the trunk/back of an SUV.

These bags in my opinion are a near perfect balance of size and features. I do wish it had a few more pockets. I'm a little bit OCD and wanted to "compartmentalize" the contents a little more but it's not that big of a deal.

The bag is very sturdy with a good zipper. I also like the fact that I can clip extra stuff onto the daisy chain straps on the front of the pack. While this bag isn't huge, it can hold a LOT more than you think it can. Here are the contents of each bag:

1 x Emergency Thermal Blanket 52" x 84" (4 Pack)

1 x Motor Trend MT1012-CCA 12-Foot Copper Clad Aluminum Jumper Cables, 250 (I've already had to use these once! They work great)

1 x Potable Aqua Water Treatment Tablets

1 x Emergency Fire Starter

1 x Lifeline 85 Piece First Aid Kit (Red)

1 x Datrex 3600 Calorie Emergency Food Bar for Survival Kits, Disaster Preparedness, Survival Gear, Survival Supplies, Schools Supplies, Disaster Kit (Pack of 2)

1 x New Israeli Battle Dressing, 6-inch Compression Bandage

1 x QuikClot Sport, Advanced Clotting Sponge 25G

1 x Etón American Red Cross CLIPRAY ARCCR100R_SNG USB Cell Phone Charger with Hand Crank LED Flashlight (Red)

I'm also planning on adding this very soon:

1 x Seychelle 1-50301-C Pure Water Straw Advanced

1 x NIV Shirt-Pocket New Testament

1 x Apollo Precision Tools DT9774 56 Piece Auto Tool Kit Zippered Case

The point is that you never know when you're going to get broken down in some unforeseen place. A bag like this can save your life. This bag could enable my family of 4 to survive for weeks if we got jammed up somewhere and cell phones wouldn't/couldn't work.

And for my money, you can't beat anything with a CAMO pattern on it! It's tucked way back in the trunk and nobody ever sees it.

American Girl My AG School Backpack Set

American Girl My AG School Backpack SetThis backback is the perfect school set for your American Girl Doll. It was packed nicely in an AG box and was quite cute. My daughter loved the little science book, it is actually the same company as the science book she reads at school. However, I should have done my research. I believe the set sells for a little over $30, not close to $50. If I'd have seen it first, I would have thought maybe $25, even with the AG label.

Luckily, my daughter isn't privy to my feeling on the cost, and she is really enjoying the toy.

Zuca SIBMU243 Sport Insert Bag Muca Black White Cow Print W Pink Lining 89055900243

Great bag! My daughter loves it. Lots of pockets inside and lined in pink. Buying the rolling frame for it is a must. It can also function as a seat and the wheels move well. The wheels even light up when the frame is pulled quickly. It's a little pricey, but good quality. I would recommend this to anyone who loves cow print and travels often for overnight or weekend getaways. I would not recommend buying it without the frame.

Ogio Phantom Wheeled Backpack

Ogio Phantom Wheeled BackpackI purchased this item for a few upcoming trips. With one trip down, I am already in love with this item. Sleek, sturdy, light, and roomy inside... it's perfect as a carry on. Plus it has lots of little pockets which are great and an area for computer. Two thumbs up!!

It is very sturdy. I like everything about it. 2 bottle holders. Everything except the 2 strap bands for the skateboard. I don't skateboard, so it's useless and it kind of blocks the zippers on the pouches. Other than that, I like it. I use it for school.

I just purchased this backpack a few days ago, and I'm really excited to finally start using it! I'm currently a college student and taking fifteen hours; as a result, I hold a look of books and a laptop, and this will really take the weight off my back. This backpack is sturdy, spacious, and the watercolor pattern is awesome! Love it!

Bought this backpack as a overnight bag for business trips. I found I needed a change of clothes and my laptop and business gear and this bag fits the bill nicely. As will most Ogio bags, there are plenty of pockets and compartments for gear. The plastic bottom and wheels are smooth rolling and can take the bumps and bangs. The handle extends easily and is comfortable. I must admit, I don't wear it on my shoulders much but the straps hide away when you don't need them. And this size plays nicely with airplane carry on bins.

I have had the backpack for about 4 weeks. It is roomy enough for all my business stuff and clothing for a overnite stay. The only draw back is that I found it barely fits in overhead compartments of small aircraft.

Dakine Women's 23-Litre EQ Duffel Bag

Dakine Women's 23-Litre EQ Duffel BagI love how cute it is and the size is perfect but there are no inner compartments or zippered pockets. All my stuff gets mixed together and it's annoying. I wish there were small pockets for my keys/phone/shampoo or a netted section to hold water bottle.

I love this bag! As an avid gym rat (30 yrs old), I was looking for a bag that had an athletic look, but remained feminine. This is perfect! Great size also (I was adament about no duffle bag-too big). The only negative... I so badly wish that it had side pockets to hold my shampoo, gym card, Ipod, etc. Pretty bummed about that.

I ordered this to replace my banged up gym bag and so far it is what I expected to be. It fits what I need for work and a change of clothes. I would give it a five if it had a little pocket on the outside for keys and a phone but it isn't a huge issue for me.

I love this, I use it to carry my stuff for the gym. It's able to fit a good sized fluffy towel, flip flops, a complete change of clothes, and my gym clothes as well as a full sized body wash bottle, shampoo bottle, face wash, deodorant, and tube of lotion. I love the design, I have a back pack with the exact same design. :D

Plus, it'll be the perfect carry on luggage for a train ride.

I use this product as an overnighter bag, that was my sole purpose for purchasing it...well also because it matches my backpack from Dakine also. It is gym bag size in every dimension. I love the Jasmine material design...it makes for a unique travel set. It's not bland but very feminine for the adult woman. I gave it 5 stars because it does what it is intended for...to carry a few clothing items and toiletries.
