Pretty darn good bag; suitable as a 'man bag'
Review Posted: 2007-09-06 06:20:35
Pros: "+ Very sturdy construction.
+ More organizer pockets than any others I've seen (and I looked a lot!).
+ Two medium size pockets accessible from exterior without opening main storage compartment.
+ Suitable in black as a "man bag"; definitely NOT feminine looking!
+ Big enough, with some selective pruning, for all the gadgets and supplies I carry - a small notebook, ear buds, pens, business cards, wallet, keys, medicine, fairly large pocket knife (of course Victorinex!), flashlight, glasses, recorder, MP3 player - you get the idea.
+ Configurable ratcheting shoulder straps."
Cons: "+ A little on the small side for the amount I carry.
+ Top carrying handle is too small, awkwardly placed.
+ No clip rings for carrying with a single over-the-shoulder strap.
+ Could use a second side compartment, for a cell phone (the other is presumably for a water bottle).
+ Backpack straps don't seem removable.
All that said, I still like this better than anything else I could find. I've had a mini-backpack for 10 years or so that I bought at EMS, now discontinued, that was tops. More pockets than one could imagine. I wore it out, or I'd still be using it. This Victorinex comes closest of any to replacing all that functionality."
