Review on Plambag Canvas Messenger Bag For Men - Small Shoulder Crossbody Purse For Travel And School With Tablet Compartment, Fits 10" IPad by Brian Lee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

While some might dislike the flap

I purchased this bag for travel. I usually pack a travel backpack and then take a purse-like bag to stow under the seat on my flight. I'm not much of a purse girl, and I prefer kind of rugged, utilitarian bags even in my professional life. When a trip involves short hikes or lots of walking, I usually opt for a day pack, but I wanted to try a crossbody bag on my next trip. This will fit the bill. As other reviews have noted, there is storage galore--plenty of room for my tablet, a sketchbook, a point and shoot camera, a wrap or light sweater and snacks.everything I'll need on the plane or on day trips. While some might dislike the flap, it makes it more secure in places where pickpockets frequent. The strap is heavy duty, which is great since other bags often fall short in this category. While it's a bit stiff, I feel like it will loosen up over time (I kind of feel like running over it with my car a few times, though just to loosen it up). I purchased the charcoal grey/black bag but probably should have opted for the olive or tan instead. I know this is a unisex bag, but I think this color might be a bit too masculine for my taste. The size is perfect. I looked at a similar bag from Duluth, but it was too large.

Pros
  • Ideal for carrying snacks and drinks
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for cycling
