Norrvage Briefpack Shoulder Bag

Beautiful bag, but needs at least one po

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

This bag is gorgeous and classy, but has no pockets on the outside for a phone or keys. That's the only reason I rated it 4 instead of 5--it's nice enough to act as a professional looking briefcase.

Very narrow inside.

I loved my old classic fjallraven backpack. This one is made well but is much has a much smaller inside, also very narrow. I would prefer a pocket on the outside for easy access to smaller items like keys. Over all it looks lovely but not easy to carry a lot of work home.

Just Right

Feels well made. I love the internal pockets for organization and easy access. This is great for lighter loads as it’s not huge but it also don’t look tiny on me and I’m 6’. The leather handles feel great and the wool is remarkably soft to the touch. The straps are simple and offer no support but you probably wouldn’t pack this bag in a way where you would need padding. I use it mostly like a briefcase but love being able to swing it on my shoulder to load things in the car, etc. It’s basically a Kanken with a slimmer profile, that top loads and has internal organization. If you’re looking at the HaulPack No.1 but do want something that big this could work too. I only wish it wasn’t made in the Wool, which is great, I’d just like it in G1000.
