Killer work & travel bag
This bag is awesome; the compartment space is perfect and easy to keep organized. The right point of storage for smaller items without your stuff getting lost. clean , well-made, simple, and robust. Nuff said.

So far, so great!
I saw some coworkers in BC Wildfire with this laptop bag and decided to purchase one for myself. I am so far very pleased with the bag! All the stuff that was normally yard-saled across the front seat of my truck I can now organize in one compact space. Laptop, maps, GPS, Kestrel, notebooks, pens, keys, wallets, phones, radios, chargers, etc. all have a spot. The quality and durability is what I expect from Mystery Ranch, and while I understand the complaints others have about the shoulder strap, it doesn't bother me as I'm not traveling long distances with the bag on my shoulder.

Best office bag ever
To be honest I bought this bag for my 84 year old father who still works. I did this only after I have owned the same bag for 4 years and absolutely love it. His old leather bag was on its last leg and he always commented on mine so I grabbed one for him. He was blown away by all the cool features and ability to customize the strap etc..

Everything is NOT a backpack!
Please make the backpack straps removable. Then I can have the choice to use that space as an additional compartment.

Love this bag, there's just one thing.....
I recently purchased and used this bag as a carry-on on an international trip. It was the perfect size for a change of clothes and meds... Two days of delays and no luggage made this bag critical while I waited. Tons of room and compartments, it is very well made and thought out. My ONLY drawback is the shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is very uncomfortable, and its unique attachment points makes it difficult to replace. If the shoulder strap matched the quality of the bag, this would be an easy 5 stars.

Work perfect for my use case as a traveling tecogi
Setup is great fits my laptop and all accompanying equipment and the from pocket is easy to get to on the run. Would give this 5 stars if the carry strap was padded and had better connection. would be nice if they were metal and the strap was padded. Great quality and exactly what you'd expect for MR

Multi-Function
This is a great pack for laptop carry. There is plenty of padding in the sleeve and lots of pocket options for the other small things you need on a daily basis. I like being able to switch from a shoulder strap to the backpack straps, but also having the two hand carry straps is a thoughtful addition too. I also like that it stands on it's own when you set it on the ground. This makes for easy access and you don't have to zip it shut all the time. With no computer, I don't carry this bag just because it has a ton of padding and feels bulky otherwise. I'll be trimming the backpack straps down, they are a bit excessive for me, but that's the only change I'd recommend.

Great for airline travel
Great bad for air travel. Holds a laptop, light jacket, book, water bottle, and all manner of small miscellaneous items. The luggage pass through is great when you have it loaded heavy and don’t want to use the shoulder strap or switch to backpack mode. I agree with others, the stroller strap could use some padding, that’s the only reason it gets 4 stars. The tigers eye color is much better in person than the pictures online. Saw it in the store and had to have it.

Great Lightweight Commuter Bag
I needed a lightweight messenger bag for work and travel, and the fact that this one could be converted into a backpack was a huge plus. It's about half the weight of the Swiss Army backpack I was using earlier, with a nifty high-tech quick clasp and waterproof zippers, so it's perfect for what I need. Great color, as shown. The only downsides I note is that it's a tight squeeze to fit my 15.6" laptop (but it does fit) and there are no easy access pen or phone pockets (but several square-ish interior pockets).

18L - Same materials for all the colors or are some canvas and some nylon? Same question for larger bag too. Thanks

How do you clean the waxed canvas version of the bag? I spilt an entire cup of coffee on it and I was attempted to use Dawn, but I didn't know if the waxed canvas version needs special consideration

Are the dimensions posted the expanded or unexpanded dimensions? I'm interested to know what the unexpanded dimensions are from corners to corners.

Laptop storage actual size? Do you have the actual dimensions for the laptop pocket? Not all, 15 or 17" laptops are the same size, so the real dimensions would be very helpful. Thanks!

I have a Surface Book that’s 13-12/“ long, 10” wide, and 1” thick. Would this size laptop fit in the padded compartment?
