 Great bag description does not do it justice September 13, 2006

This bag is strong and durable. The size is large enough to fit and notebook or text book. There are a number of pockets of all sizes able to hold any item you would want to bring with you.
The back of the bag (which is not pictured) has a zippered compartment that can hold papers and has a number of pockets for items to slide into.
This bag would be useful both at school and going around town.
The only downside might be that, given the heavyweight material used to make the bag, it is a bit heavy. But this does not affect it enough to alter the rating.
I would recommend this bag to anyone who wants a functional and cool looking bag for everyday use.
(Please note that I bought the black bag. The olive one looks to be the same design, but I cannot directly comment on that one.)
Excellent Bag! August 19, 2008

This bag is the perfect size for what I needed it for. Commuting to NYC daily requires one to carry "stuff". Not too much stuff, but just enough. This bag is perfect for carrying just enough stuff!

I just got this bag as a birthday gift. It's really an amazing bag. Lots and LOTS of room inside without being bulky or overly heavy. This bag has many, many, MANY compartments, pockets, and dividers. The really great thing is that all of the pockets are different sizes, giving you a lot of options as to where you want to store gadgets and other items. The canvas looks very nice - the olive is a nice, deep almost velvety green color. The bag seems to be extremely well made - it seems very durable, and I have no doubt it will serve me well for many years!
I asked for this bag for my birthday because I now commute about 90 miles round trip every day for work. I need to have a lot of various things with me in case I need them since I can't just pop home during my workday anymore. I'm also an artist...okay, no, I'm a doodler...and I wanted a bag large enough to hold a sketchbook, some pencils, a sharpener, pens, etc., for those times when I get an idea in the middle of the day that I want to sketch out, and also large enough to hold my normal purse-type items. This bag is plenty large to do all of that and more. I thought my current "day pack" was roomy and had a lot of pockets until I found this bag. The M-51 Engineer's Field Bag is the best day pack type bag that I've ever seen, honestly. If you like to have your stuff organized and easy to find, and you have a lot of stuff to haul around, you will not regret buying this bag.

I work on for the railroad and commute around 100 miles a day back and forth to work, so I had been looking for a bag that would let me take some of the things I find myself needing constantly with me all the time. And this bag is it, I couldn't ask for anything better.
The large pocket is great for any papers, books or magazines that I might take, although I wouldn't reccomend it for a laptop as it is not padded. But it is large enough for two or three water bottles if you need that many.
Plus there are too many other pockets to mention, along with the organization panel on the back which is perfect for my swiss army knife, a small pair of pliers, multi tool, pack of cards, a small flashlight, the list goes on. And theres also a good deep pocket for your cell so you know it won't fall out, along with slots for pens and pencils.
But be careful, like I said its a big bag, with loads of pockets, so its easy to fill it up to much and make it heavy. Plus the construction looks solid to me, the canvas is also military grade, I really don't see the poor construction that others have talked about.
All it needs is a good coat of scotch guard for a little water repellancy and its ready for whatever you need. I like the bag so much I've already ordered another one in case they ever auit making them.

I bought this bag initially to help me carry all my engenieering and school stuff during summer when I'm doing self study and don't need the whole backpack. Its so convienant I've ended up packing a lot more into it than I had originally intended on doing. To give you an idea of how well it can expand to fit almost everything you could ever need, I've got:
1 Laptop
2 math books
3 novels
2 pencils
2 pens
2 graphing note books
1 pack of smokes and a lighter
2 pencil sharpeners
1 calculator
That setup has it filled pretty much to its maxium capacity lol. The material seems to be great, I waited over a month to write this review to see if any tears or breaks would show up, and so far, none have.
For those guys who want one, but are afraid of the "murse" (man purse) status, rest assured the plain black with nothing shiny or 'loud' muffle any comments. All I really have to say about that argument is Convenience > Insecurites :)
That being said, all in all, I'm hard press to find a flaws. Now if only it could magically make everything in it lighter . . .
