bad zipper

By:
February 23, 2010

The whole bag was very stiff when I pulled it out of the box. You have to use two hands to open and close the zipper. Not something I liked at all. The strap was a little slim for how much weight the bag can carry too. I sent it back.

The bag is big and can hold plenty though. I'm assuming that if you use it everyday, it will start to soften up for you.

I've had it in a pretty significant rain/snow, and it didn't show any signs of leaking. The fabric was pretty damp, and I wouldn't trust it to keep my stuff as dry as my timbuk2, but if it is actively being rained on for less than an hour, it should be fine.

zipper could be smoother

By:
November 15, 2009

Good bag. Used it everyday for two years. The only hangup is that the waterproofed zipper was pretty tight at the beginning, making getting in and out a little difficult. it eventually loosened up, but then the rubber/plastic coating started to deteriorate and break off. Zipper worked, but it looked ugly.

The strap is problematic

By:
September 18, 2009

While the bag itself can hold plenty in terms of volume and mass, the strap and shoulder pad are thin so you may feel the weight across your body.

These reservations aside, I like this bag at the price I paid.

Good Bag, Tough Zipper

By:
November 26, 2009

I enjoy this bag a lot. I've used it the rain and it keeps my books and computer dry. I also like the back zipper because if I just want my computer I don't need to deal with annoying front zipper. It sticks. That's my only complaint. It's kind of annoying in the middle of class trying to get something out of your bag and you have a tough time getting it unzipped

I saw some reviews saying that the strap was annoying when carrying a lot of weight. Well, this is a shoulder bag and they aren't made to carry a ton of weight and be comfortable at the same time. That's what day packs are for. Any loaded book bag or shoulder bag is going to feel a little uncomfortable, so pack light or deal with it.

Dude, your bag is BIG

By:
May 15, 2009

Yup, it is. How else would I be able to carry around my computer, cord, coffee mug, MP3 player and headphones, school books, extra layer, gloves, AND bike lock? Have had it for a little over a year now, and love it more every day. Cord is surprisingly comfortable if bag is not overpacked (a lot of weight is no problem, just high volume). Bag is completely waterproof, including zippers, and with this I don't ever need to worry about my laptop in the rain. Only gripes are thin(ish) strap, odd shoulder pad (must be placed perfectly), and the main zipper looks like it's bound to fail earlier than I want....

Second one

By:
September 8, 2008

This is my second Transit bag (my daughter talked me out of my first one - it's still great after three years of heavy use). I like the bag's inner as much or better as my previous Transit but have a couple of gripes about the outside. 1) The shoulder buckle adjustment is not as good as previous and tends to get flipped up and released when it gets caught on something. 2) The topside exterior pockets are not as convenient as the old ones, I wish they had kept the double center top top as first produced and still added the upper end pockets.

Still, these are quibbles - the is hands down the best messenger-style bag I have ever seen!

Nice bag

By:

I like the bag a lot. It holds all my stuff. The only problem is that it tweaks my back when I am carrying it with a heavy load for a long time.

Way Cool Bag

I bought this Bag for my Older Brother who was just carrying his laptop and Cords around when he came over to my house to play Starcraft So I decided for his Birthday I would get him a Bag, So I got him this one and He actually looks normal now when he comes over, and he has more room for games than just Starcraft. It's amazing what a little Storage space can do.
