I wanted a Mary Poppins bag, one that would fit EVERYTHING and the kitchen sink in it, but not be enormous. I'm still undecided on this bag, and I bought it in October. I wanted a laptop bag I could carry on my bike that would keep my water bottle, sunglasses, keys, wallet, and cellphone accessible… and not look silly by dwarfing my 4'11" frame... and I needed room for a binder or two, my lunch, and maybe a change of clothes/shoes. AND it needed to look good professionally or casually. I love that my big Nalgene fits in the side pocket, and my sunglass case fits in the other side pocket. And I love that my 13" Macbook is very well protected in the separate compartment, but the little organizer pouch, while understandably sewn into the top for accessibility, tends to block access for whatever is in the bottom of the bag. And if you're like me and the main contents of the bag *do* get removed daily, but the accessories (pens and what not) don't, well, it creates a nuisance. The accessories pouch is on the inside of the bag, so the cell phone/tickets/pens/wallet/keys or whatever you stuff in it is not easily accessible. The bag holds almost enough (laptop, accessories, and small items, ONE binder and book), but it gets plenty heavy, so a bigger one carrying more probably isn't the answer. It's VERY comfortable on the bike, wearing the strap across the body. The bag does look huge on me, and it's impossible to carry as a shoulder bag (it just slides right off my shoulder). I kind of think that nature just screwed me on that one. Overall a good bag. The color scheme is great.
