Love the color the style in the material bag is big enough for you to carry plenty of stuff, but not too big to be intrusive

Awful

Bag was badly made. Runs, snags, uneven lumpy stitching.As other users have mentioned, does not double as a backpack. One strap was twisted. Sent back. What others say about quality decline seems very true. It looked VERY CHEAP.

Great tote and backpack combo!

This is perfect for carrying your laptop and other work items. The only drawback is that it only has one smaller zippered pocket on the outside, one large mesh pocket on the inside and a cushioned laptop pocket. A couple more small pockets on the inside would make it perfect!

Great concept but have durability issues

Great 2-way concept. However it is not as durable as other comments said. After 3-4 months light use - water and jackets only most of the time for gym - the strap just looks wore and can brake.

Really great convertible tote to backpack option

Was looking for a bag that could be a tote 90% of the time, but still convert to a backpack when I needed to ride a bike to work. This tote is perfect and doesn't require any extra step to transition to the backpack and back to the tote. It just can't be worn for very long on the back or else the straps dig in a little bit, but this doesn't bother me for the time I spend wearing it as a backpack.
