Patagonia One Bag - 2007 BCS

I bought this bag for my husband to use when he travels on quick overnights for business. It fits his work documents, two changes of clothing, a size 13 pair of running shoes, his iPod/charger and all his toiletry stuff with room to spare. He loves the bag. It's extra tough and very compact.

The shoulder strap design on this bag needs to be fixed! The tri glider is easy to loosen up, causing the bag to drop. I was traveling with my PC and two files (less than 10lb) in my new Patagonia One Bag when all of sudden the bag hit the floor! My PC was destroyed and had to have the hard drive removed by a shop that afternoon. Never mind my business trip was ruined. After I came home I noticed the shoulder strap’s tri glider doesn’t catch the webbing, and cause it to slip. What a cheap design!! I thought I finally found a non-corporate looking bag for my job, but this thing is SO BAD! Not recommended at all.

It met my expectations. You can use it as a backpack or sling it as a messenger. Great commuter bag for your laptop and its accessories. It will even fit few extra items. Couple of minor gripes: covered zippers may make it more waterproof but makes it difficult to access. Also, with the laptop in the padded pouch, it's not too balanced when using the grab handles.

Quite possibly the best travel bag ever. It fits under the seat or in the overhead compartment with no trouble. Yet it will hold a weeks worth of clothes. The different compartments are well thought out. You can actually get to your computer when the bag is full. Understated and classy (you can take it to any boardroom) but durable and functional. A great bag from Patagonia.
