DAKINE Messenger Bag Small - 900cu in
Good bag with some awkward design

Using this bag for work and travel, and I like it. The main compartment is surprisingly big, enough for a few binders or a change of clothes. Lots of little pockets, padded iphone pocket, external water bottle pocket. But I have two problems: 1. When the main compartment is empty, the bag is really loose and floppy, and doesnt retain its shape--instead the flap hangs with the handle pointing sideways instead of up. 2. The bag looks RIDICULOUS if you carry it by the handle, even if the bag is full. Since the handle is only attached to the flap, the flap gets yanked up from the bag. The flap clips are midway up the flap, so the bottom of the flap below them sticks out and the whole thing looks all creased and wrinkled. They could've fixed it by having the handle attached to the main bag through a hole in the flap.... maybe next year's model....
