Kenneth Cole Reaction Second Generation "Bag Home Again" 4" Single Gusset Vertical Messenger

Pros: I did an extensive search for a vertical messenger bag that was big enough to hold a laptop and versatile enough for general schlepping stuff around. This bag seemed to fit the bill and so far it's worked out great. The single gusset design holds plenty of stuff for the day's business. A couple of zip pouches to store things you just might need. An internal pen/holder and also a place for business cards.

Cons: Wish there were a couple more slots for pens/pencils. Also a key fob inside one of the pouches would have been nice.

Pros: I did a lot of research on vertical messenger bags, looking for versatility and price. This appears to be the best option out there. Big enough to carry a laptop but the single gusset means it can be used for any carrying needs. Nice looking and seems to be well made.

Cons: I don't like the magnetic fasteners on the flap. Too difficult to secure on the go. Wish there were more pen/pencil holders and a key fob.
