Belkin Laptop Sling Bag (Chocolate/Tourmaline)

Exactly what it should be, a stylish, padded shoulder-tote for a laptop. Comes with several small but useful inner pockets and a neat little bag to put the AC adaptor in.

But the the bag is not really designed for too much more than laptop and adaptor. You can fit in a mouse and some papers, but a real backpack or large laptop bag would be better if you need to carry a lot of stuff. Because it's only got one strap, a heavy load could cause some backstrain if you are prone to that. Consider it a more a portable bag for "quick-toting".

Harriton Contrast Tote Bag

I love the size and dimension of this bag. For the price (although shipping is a rip off), it's a fine bag. But the fabric has a waxy plastic feel to it, so if you're expecting Lands End Quality, go buy a Lands End bag. I bought these for my bridesmaids and one for myself. I plan on taking mine on my honeymoon to carry a water bottle, book, sunglass case, sunscreen, CD player, etc. and I think it will work well for that.
I'm still not sure that I want to give these as a gift, however.


I am happy with this bag (I got the pink and white one). It is a lovely color, nice size, durable and good price. It comes with an outside pocket and I received it quickly. My only complaint is that almost $7 in shipping is being charged for a light tote that was $3.99, otherwise I highly recommend this

Israeli Paratrooper Shoulder Bags

I must say first off, this bag is very cool looking and the different compartments alone would give this bag 5 stars. There are 2 dividers within the main storage space giving you 3 compartments to hold stuff. Then there is also a small pouch on the front that snaps open to give you yet another pocket and 9 pen/pencil holders.
There is one main drawback that brings the bag down one star. The strap. As a few other reviewers have stated, the strap could definately stand to be wider and even a little longer. However, that is not that big of a problem. I would say the biggest is that the strap and its attachments don't feel or look very sturdy. I would definately recommend that this bag only be used for light or moderate weight hauling. Don't stuff it with heavy books.
That being said, it can still hold lots of stuff, just be careful.
One last bit of info, the bag itself isn't made out of a heavy sturdy canvas. It is very lightweight and flexible (100% cotton). This definately adds to its lack of strength, but it also makes it softer if you prefer or even care about that.
Overall I definately think this bag is worth the purchase.

Outdoor Products Mountain Duffel (Large)

Just returned from a trip in Europe using Ryanair which has very restrictive baggage weight limitations. So restrictive, if we had used traditional luggage we wouldn't have had any weight left for clothing. Bought this in desperation. We were really dubious our clothing would survive with unstructured luggage. To make a long story short, this stuff is wonderful, light and functional, we couldn't be happier. Glad Ryanair forced us to switch and replace all of our Louis Vitton luggage. Oh well, there goes all that status, LOL.

Pepsi 100% Recycled Heavyweight Large Duffle Bag

I know a couple of pople that got a large duffle bag from a previous Pepsi promotion, and it is really large! I was expecting something similar. So when I opened the box that contained this so called Large duffle bag, I was a little disappointed! The bag should be called a weekender or overnight bag, NOT a duffle bag.
The bag seems to be made very well, the zipper works nice(love the zipper pull), nice color, and it has strong looking straps.
I'll definitly use this bag a lot! It just wasn't the size I was expecting.

World Food Programme Feed Bag

I love this (tote) bag. Good quality, very sturdy. I like that it is reversible, it's like having two bags in one! The white side makes it look sporty and the other side it's for a more natural look. On the white side it has three pockets, one on the front (could store a magazine) and two on the sides (perfect for cell pone, keys, etc). I will take this bag with me to classes, travels, oh... and I guess it could even work for my knitting stuff! Add to all above that it's for a good cause... excellent!
