I needed a decent bag to get my stuff from home to work and back...nothing more nothing less. I carry a MacBook Pro and a leather notebook....though there's room for a little more. The inside zipper pocket is perfect for containing smaller items and the outside pocket has room for stuff too.
I got the khaki color which looks exactly like the picture showed. The strap is adjustable so I can sling it over my shoulder and go. The button clasp is great so you don't have to unbuckle anything to get inside.
This bag is perfect for me. Laptop, a leather notebook, and room for some extra, but not BIG extra. Don't let the negative comments fool you. It's great for what I mentioned but if you have to or expect to carry more, then you need a bigger bag.
It will be perfect to take on planes. It will hold all my personal items plus my prescription medications. I'm very satisfied and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a sturdy, roomy carryall.
I bought this bag to be used as a rugged carry- on bag for airline flights. It arrived quickly and was just as advertised in the L.L. Bean catalog. They even monagrammed it and got it to me within a week. Great bag and I continue to be impressed with L.L. Bean and its products.
I have a leather Kenneth Cole messenger bag and wanted something lighter for summer. This defnately suits my needs. Has plenty of room and enough separate areas to handle all my junk.
