I really like this bag alot. It isn't made out of thin cheap canvas like one person said it is made out of strong canvas. It is a good size bag and I use it for school and every day errands. It isn't a very large bag, but it isn't too small. I am able to pack a netbook, a textbook, a folder with papers, a notebook, wires for the neckbook, mouse, pens, a sweatshirt and a bottle of water in it, and it still has room. The pockets in front are conveinent and can old alot of things too. It has nice straps, and I like the part where I don't have to undo the buckle all the time to get in and out of the bag. There are two snaps on it and you just pull them off and you can then access the bag that way. My only complaint is that after some use one of the snaps fell apart. I glued it back and so far so good, but I am not sure if it will stay. Other than that the bag is perfect for every use and great for any one at any age!
